Slab Freemium

Slab is a team knowledge base from Slab that emphasizes search over browsing. Pages are organized into topics, and a universal search bar reaches into connected tools like Slack, Google Drive and GitHub. It’s free for up to 10 users, with paid plans starting around $6.67 per user per month billed annually.

What is Slab?

A wiki most people never open. Slab’s counter-argument: make search good enough that people find the page in five seconds, and the wiki stops being a graveyard. Topics act like tags with their own landing pages, so documentation stays navigable as it grows past a few hundred articles.

It’s aimed at companies between 10 and 500 people — big enough that tribal knowledge is a real problem, small enough that an enterprise suite is overkill.

Slab product features

Unified search. One search box queries Slab posts plus connected Slack messages, Google Drive files and GitHub issues, ranked together.

Topics. Group pages into topics with subscribing members; updates notify the topic, not the whole company.

Post analytics. Shows which posts get viewed and which get none, so you can archive dead weight.

Slack and Teams integration. Post edits and comments appear in channel; ask a question and get post links back.

Review and change approval. Locked posts and required approvers for sensitive process docs.

Product highlights

Search quality is the closest to usable of any lightweight wiki, partly because of the cross-tool connectors.

Topics beat folder trees for documentation that gets edited by five people.

Pricing per user is low enough to give nearly everyone edit access.

What is Slab used for?

Company handbook and onboarding docs.

Engineering runbooks and on-call procedures.

Meeting notes that need to be findable six months later.

Product specs living next to the process that describes them.

Replacing a shared Google Drive folder full of untitled docs.

Is Slab free?

Yes, for teams of up to 10 users with the main features and integrations. Paid plans run about $6.67 per user per month annually, or roughly $8 month-to-month, and the top tier adds SSO and advanced permissions.

What it won’t solve: it does not render API documentation or customer-facing help centers, so product docs for external users usually end up elsewhere. Writing style is also unopinionated — Slab gives you a clean editor and nothing else, which means teams with no documentation habits will create empty topics and drop it in a month.
