Our verdict on AppFlowy
AppFlowy is an open-source collaborative workspace for individuals, teams, and enterprises that need more than shared documents. It combines pages, project management, team wikis, databases, AI-assisted writing and search, comments, sharing, and real-time editing. Teams can work through web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, or self-hosted deployments. Its strongest fit is for open-source teams that want documents and structured databases in one workspace, with additional control over where data is stored.
The free plan provides one collaborative workspace for up to two members, with unlimited pages and blocks, 5 GB of storage, real-time collaboration, and a mobile app. The Pro plan costs $12.50 per user per month with monthly billing and adds unlimited storage, up to 50 workspace members, up to 100 guest editors, unlimited AI responses, unlimited file uploads, and a custom namespace. That pricing makes the free tier useful for small teams evaluating the workspace, while the paid tier is a significant commitment for larger groups or teams that need expanded storage and collaboration limits.
AppFlowy’s breadth is its main differentiator. Beyond document editing, it includes version history with restore, inline comments, guest editors, page sharing, offline work, local data storage, AI features, and database views for grid, kanban, and forms. Integrations include Trello, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Calendar, ChatGPT, Airtable, Gmail, GitHub, Google Drive, Jira, Claude, Adobe Acrobat, GitLab, Zapier, and Loom. Choose AppFlowy if self-hosting, open-source code, offline access, and databases matter alongside collaborative documents. Teams seeking a narrower document tool, or those sensitive to the Pro price, may prefer a simpler alternative.
