From a question to the right page.

Someone asks in Team chat. Sam finds the page in Docs and answers, with a link. The client's account is one click away.

Write it once, find it by asking.

Docs has pages with headings, to-dos, toggles, tables and videos. Ask Sam finds the answer across them, in the CRM or in Team chat.

  • Teammates on the same page see your changes as you type.
  • Type @ to mention a teammate, a page or a customer.
  • Lock a page once it's right.

Your Slab posts, file by file.

An admin downloads your published posts as Markdown or Docx. Click Import in the Docs sidebar and each file becomes a page.

  • Word files keep their pictures.
  • Many posts? Ask Claude, connected to Alori, to make the pages.
  • Share each page by role.

Change it by asking.

Your app isn’t frozen on day one. Write what you need, the way you’d text it. Alori makes the change and shows you before anything goes live.

The full guide

Everything above, in detail: how it works, what it replaces and what it does not.

Short answer: Alori is a Slab alternative for small software companies and agencies that want their wiki in the same app as their customers, deals, support and help center. Docs gives you pages and databases, the Help center answers customers, and Ask Sam finds what the team wrote. Every plan has unlimited users, and Slab's Markdown or Word export comes into Docs file by file.

Why teams leave Slab

Slab is a clean, fast wiki that people read. Small teams leave it for these reasons:

  • The wiki is one more tool: how you onboard a client is in Slab, the client is in a CRM, and the support chat is somewhere else.
  • Slab is for the team, so the public help center your customers need is another tool and another bill.
  • Past 10 people, everyone who can open the wiki is a paid user.

What you pay

Slab, as listed on its pricing page in November 2026, with monthly billing:

Team of 5SlabAlori
WikiFree up to 10 users, Startup $8 per user a month, Business $15Docs, included
For 5 people$0 on Free, $40 a month on Startup, $75 on BusinessUnlimited users on every plan
What else is in itThe wikiCRM, deals, help center, website chat, tickets, invoices
PlanPer userFree to start, Solo from $99 a month, Business from $249

Billed yearly, Slab is $6.67 and $12.50 per user. For a wiki alone, Slab costs less. See Alori's pricing.

What Alori replaces

  • Pages in Docs: type "/" to add headings, to-dos, toggles, callouts, columns, tables and videos. Teammates on the same page see your changes as you type.
  • Type @ to mention a teammate, a page, a customer or a date. The person you mention is told.
  • Databases with table, board, list, calendar, gallery and timeline views, relations, formulas and AI autofill columns.
  • Comments, suggested edits, page history kept 90 days, and a lock for finished pages. Share each page with everyone, a role and the roles above it, or admins only.
  • Ask Sam finds the answer across your Docs, in the CRM or in Team chat.
  • A help center for your customers, in English and French, with Nora answering from it in the website chat.
  • The rest of the work: customers, deals, tasks and tickets in the same app.

What Alori doesn't do yet

Alori has no page verification with owners and review dates, no search across other tools like Google Drive or GitHub, no guest access to a page, and no SAML single sign-on. If your wiki is the hub for a large team and verification matters, stay on Slab.

How to switch

  1. Start free. Describe your business. Alori builds your app, and you add Docs.
  2. Export from Slab. As an admin, in Team Settings › Import & Export, download your published posts as Markdown or Docx.
  3. Bring the files into Docs. Click Import in the Docs sidebar and pick a file: each one becomes a page. Many posts? Connect Claude to Alori and ask it to make a page from each Markdown file.
  4. Move customer answers to the Help center. Turn the posts customers need into help articles, or paste a public page's link in your Alori chat.

Questions

Another question? Ask it when you start.

For a small team that wants its wiki next to customers, support and a public help center, yes. For a wiki-first company with page verification and many integrations, Slab stays the better fit.

For a wiki alone, Slab's free plan (up to 10 users) is cheaper. Alori pays off when it also replaces your CRM, help center and support tools, with unlimited users on every plan.

Your published posts, exported as Markdown or Word files, each one becoming a page. Topics, comments and drafts stay in Slab.

Small software companies and agencies, usually under 50 people.
