BookStack

Comparisons anchored on BookStack, the MIT-licensed PHP documentation platform organized into shelves, books, chapters and pages.

BookStack vs Wiki.js

Two lightweight documentation wikis: BookStack's fixed book and chapter structure on PHP and MySQL against Wiki.js 2.x on Node.js with Git storage sync and many auth modules. Covers editing style, permissions, upgrade risk around Wiki.js 3.0 and hosting needs.

BookStack vs DokuWiki

A shelves, books and pages wiki on a database against a file-based wiki with no database: compares BookStack and DokuWiki on editing, structure, authentication (LDAP and AD in both), backups, plugins and hosting needs.

BookStack vs Outline

MIT-licensed BookStack against Outline, whose community edition is source-available under the Business Source License with SAML only in paid editions. Compares licensing limits, authentication options, editing and search, dependencies such as PostgreSQL and Redis, and self-hosting effort.

BookStack vs Wiki.js vs Outline

The three modern self-hosted team wikis compared on license type, content structure, editors, authentication, integrations, dependencies and the upkeep each needs.

BookStack vs Docmost

BookStack's fully MIT-licensed shelves and books against Docmost's spaces and real-time editing with paid SSO, LDAP and MFA tiers, for teams that want a simple self-hosted knowledge base and need to know what is free.
