Docmost review
A flexible open-source knowledge base with diagrams, collaboration, and AI features.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Docmost is an open-source collaborative wiki and documentation platform for teams building internal knowledge bases or public pages. It supports real-time page editing, spaces, full-text search, page history with version restore, public sharing, permissions, imports, exports, and diagramming. Teams can deploy it on the web or self-host it, including in on-premises and air-gapped environments. The free Community option covers the open-source core, real-time collaboration, spaces, and full-text search, making it a practical starting point for open-source teams that want control over deployment and documentation structure.
Pricing is divided into Community, Business, and Enterprise editions. The Community plan is free. According to the published Business pricing, the plan costs $6 per seat per month when billed annually and requires a minimum of 10 seats. It adds SSO, granular permissions, AI and MCP, version history, and email support. Enterprise adds SCIM, audit logs, SIEM, page verification and review workflows, and priority support. This structure gives smaller teams a capable free starting point, while organizations needing identity management, governance, or support escalation must move to a paid edition.
Docmost stands out for combining documentation with diagrams and broad content portability. Built-in Draw.io, Excalidraw, and Mermaid support helps teams document systems visually, while integrations and connections include Figma, Airtable, Google Drive, Google Sheets, Miro, Loom, and Typeform. AI search, chat, writing assistance, and MCP extend how teams can work with their content. Choose Docmost if self-hosting, open-source control, collaborative pages, and diagramming are priorities. Teams seeking a fully managed hosted-only knowledge base or avoiding a 10-seat minimum for Business should consider another option.
