Team docs that
work offline.
Team docs that actually work offline. No $20/user for AI. Native apps with real performance.
Which one is right for you?
Craft
Full offline access — Slite doesn't work without internet at all
AI included free — Slite's 'Ask' feature costs $20/user/month
Native apps with real performance — not Slite's slow web/Electron apps
Beautiful documents with covers, media, and one-click publishing
Lower price per user for more features and native quality
Slite
Slack-first knowledge base is exactly what your team needs
AI-powered Q&A across all team docs is your primary use case
Everyone works online-only and never needs offline access
You prefer a simple wiki without rich formatting needs
Slite positions itself as a team knowledge base, but it's web-only with no offline, charges $20/user/mo for the AI 'Ask' feature, and users report slow mobile performance. Craft works offline, includes AI free, and gives you native speed on every device.

“ Craft gets rid of all the noise from Notion while not becoming as barebones as Obsidian. It’s a perfect balance of features – and it’s done seamlessly. Synching is immediate, and the app feels right at home on my Mac and my iPad.”

Common Questions
For personal and small team documentation, yes. Craft offers better writing experience, offline access, and native apps. If you rely heavily on Slite's team knowledge base features or ask-AI-about-docs functionality, evaluate whether Craft's approach works for your team size.
Writers, creators, and small teams who want beautiful documents with native performance. Craft works great for individuals and focused teams. Slite targets mid-size teams needing a shared knowledge base with AI search.
Yes, for small focused teams. Craft supports real-time collaboration, comments, and team spaces. Slite is designed more for larger teams needing company wikis. Craft is the better tool for teams that value quality over quantity in their documentation.
Slite's Standard plan costs $8/month per member. Craft Plus starts at $5/month with AI included. For small teams and individuals, Craft is more affordable and includes more features per dollar.
Work offline with full functionality, enjoy native Apple performance, use Apple Pencil, publish beautiful web pages, and use rich formatting with covers and styled blocks. Slite is web-only and lacks these native capabilities.
Yes – this is a major advantage. Craft provides full offline access on all devices. Slite is entirely web-based and requires internet. Write and organize anywhere with Craft, even without connectivity.
Yes. Export your Slite workspace as Markdown files, then import them into Craft. Your formatting and structure transfer well. Channels become Craft folders. Import section by section for large workspaces.
Craft is built native for Apple using Swift and UIKit. Handoff, Spotlight, Siri Shortcuts, Widgets, and Apple Pencil integration. Slite has no native Apple app – it's a web-based tool wrapped in Electron.
Craft is significantly faster with native apps and sub-second sync. Slite's web-based approach can feel sluggish, especially with large documents or slow connections. Craft stays responsive in all conditions.
Craft offers Spaces, folders, and collections for organizing team knowledge. It's more document-focused than Slite's wiki-style approach. For teams that prefer polished documents over wiki pages, Craft is superior.
Yes. Craft publishes beautiful web pages with one click – shareable with anyone externally. Slite focuses on internal team sharing. Craft gives you both internal collaboration and external publishing.
Yes. Craft has native Apple Pencil support on iPad. Handwrite, draw, and annotate directly in documents. Slite has no handwriting or drawing capabilities.
Both include AI features. Slite focuses on AI-powered search across your team docs. Craft's AI helps you write, edit, and summarize within documents. Different approaches – Craft for creation, Slite for discovery.
If you value offline access, native performance, beautiful publishing, and don't need a large team wiki, yes. Many small teams find Craft's approach more enjoyable and productive than Slite's wiki model.
Yes. Craft offers a free Education plan. The native apps and offline access are better for student life. Slite is designed for workplace teams, not individual students.
Craft is significantly better for writing. Beautiful typography, distraction-free mode, publishing, and rich formatting. Slite is designed for team documentation, not creative or professional writing.
Craft syncs in sub-second time and works offline. Slite requires internet and saves to cloud only. Craft's native sync is faster and more reliable for individual and team use.
Export your Slite workspace as Markdown from Settings. Use Craft's Import feature. Channels become folders in Craft. Process channel by channel for large teams. Team members can be invited to shared Craft spaces.
