About KnowledgeOwl

KnowledgeOwl is a hosted knowledge base product for building customer help centres, internal employee knowledge bases and product documentation. Authors work in a WYSIWYG editor with categories, version history, content reuse snippets and review reminders, and readers get search, feedback and optional login-restricted access. Each plan includes one author and one knowledge base, with unlimited readers; you pay extra for more authors or more knowledge bases, which makes it predictable for small documentation teams. Higher plans add API access, SSO, granular reader permissions and longer reporting history. The company is known for hands-on support, offering free migration help and theme setup, and it gives a discount to non-profits and B Corporations. The interface is functional rather than flashy, and AI features are less central than in newer competitors. It runs in the browser. It suits small support and docs teams that want straightforward pricing and responsive human support.

Best for: Small docs and support teams wanting predictable pricing and friendly support.
