TL;DR

Notion is a general workspace: a free plan, Plus at 9.50 and Business at 19.50 per member per month in the euro pricing we read, Enterprise by quote, with Notion AI charged at 10 per 1,000 credits after its trial. Slite is a documentation base: a free starting point, Basic at $10 and Pro at $20 per user per month billed yearly, Enterprise by quote, with AI answers metered per seat. Choose Notion when docs sit beside databases, projects and wikis; choose Slite when the only job is keeping documentation accurate.

Notion's pricing page showed euro figures for our region, with a currency selector that switches the display. The free plan is 0 per member per month for individuals, with unlimited pages and blocks for a single member and a block limit once a workspace has two or more people, plus a trial of Notion AI. Plus is 9.50 per member per month and removes Notion branding from public forms, adds custom forms, custom sites, unlimited charts, unlimited collaborative blocks and basic connections to tools such as Slack and Google Drive. Business, marked as recommended, is 19.50 per member per month and adds AI agents that complete multi-step tasks with context from your workspace and connected apps, premium connections, domain verification and integrations with GitHub and Asana. Enterprise is quoted and adds SCIM provisioning and zero data retention with its language-model providers. Notion AI is free to try and then billed at 10 per 1,000 monthly credits, and a custom domain for a Notion Site costs 8 per month billed annually or 10 per month billed monthly.

Slite's pricing page shows a free starting point, then Basic at $10 per user per month billed yearly: unlimited docs, AI search and answers inside Slite docs capped at 30 monthly questions per seat, an AI writing assistant with 30 edits per month per user, a doc verification workflow, a knowledge management panel and MCP and API access, with 5GB of storage per user and uploads up to 200MB. Pro at $20 per user per month billed yearly adds the Slite Agent, search across connected tools, doc fact-checking with suggested fixes, agent workflows running on 50 monthly credits per seat, OpenID SSO, a custom domain for public docs, unlimited AI edits and 10GB per user. Enterprise is quoted and adds reader-only seats, audit logs, SCIM, an SLA, a dedicated account manager and migration support. The page states that more than 3,000 companies use Slite.

Pros & cons

👍 Notion Pros

  • Databases, charts, forms and projects sit beside the documents in one tool
  • Business adds AI agents that act on workspace and connected-app context

👎 Notion Cons

  • Block limits apply once a workspace has more than one member on the free plan
  • Notion AI is metered separately at 10 per 1,000 credits rather than included
  • Breadth means documentation competes with databases and projects for attention

👍 Slite Pros

  • Doc verification, ownership and a knowledge panel keep documentation current
  • Pro adds an agent that watches connected tools and drafts updates when they change

  • No databases, wikis or project views to match Notion's workspace
  • The free starting point is not detailed on the pricing page, so limits are unclear

Verdict

Pick Notion if

Choose Notion if docs are one part of the system

Notion earns its price when the workspace also has to hold databases, project trackers, wikis and forms, and when AI agents are expected to act rather than answer. The free plan is enough for one person to build the whole structure, and Plus at 9.50 is the cheapest way to publish without branding. Remember that AI usage is a separate meter.

Pick Slite if

Choose Slite if documentation accuracy is the product

Slite is narrower on purpose: verification workflows, doc ownership and an agent that notices when Slack, Linear or GitHub move and drafts the correction. At $10 per user billed yearly it is a focused purchase for teams whose knowledge base has gone stale. It will not host your projects or databases.

What the vendors say, and what we did not measure

No review scores or user quotes are included here: we did not collect a public review corpus for this pair, and statements such as Notion's user counts and Slite's 3,000-company figure are vendor claims published on their own pages. Prices were read from notion.com/pricing and slite.com/pricing on 2026-10-12.

Who Should Use Which?

Use Notion if you...

  • you need databases, wikis and projects alongside written documentation
  • you want AI agents that can take actions across connected apps
  • the team already standardised on Notion for other work

Use Slite if you...

  • stale documentation is the actual problem you are solving
  • you want answers pulled from docs and connected tools with per-seat limits
  • a small team needs a focused writing tool rather than a workspace

FAQ

Is Slite cheaper than Notion?

At the entry tier they are close: Notion's Plus plan is 9.50 per member per month and Slite's Basic is $10 per user per month billed yearly. Notion's Business tier at 19.50 lines up with Slite's Pro at $20, and Notion AI adds a separate meter that Slite does not charge.

Does Slite have databases and projects like Notion?

No. Slite is built around documents, verification and knowledge search. If you need relational databases, boards or project views, Notion provides them and Slite does not.

How is Notion AI charged?

The pricing page states AI is free to try and then costs 10 per 1,000 monthly Notion AI credits, with zero data retention with model providers reserved for Enterprise workspaces. Slite instead bundles allowances: 30 questions and 30 edits per seat each month on Basic, with agent workflows on 50 credits per seat on Pro.

Which is better for a company wiki?

Notion, if the wiki has to sit next to databases and project pages. Slite, if the wiki's only job is to answer questions accurately and stay in sync with the tools where changes originate.

Do both work with AI assistants through MCP?

Slite lists MCP and API access on its Basic tier. Notion offers an API and integrations, and its AI features run inside the workspace; check the current connector list before relying on MCP support.

Which one supports single sign-on?

Slite adds OpenID SSO on Pro and SCIM on Enterprise. Notion places identity features such as SCIM provisioning on its Enterprise tier.
