Why teams choose Docmost over AFFiNE
Truly Open Source
Docmost's code is open source and self-hostable by any team. AFFiNE's backend ships under a commercial enterprise license, so the full product can't actually be run as open source.
Enterprise Integration
Docmost includes SCIM provisioning, audit logs, and a full REST API for enterprise integration. AFFiNE still lacks SCIM, audit logs, and a public API.
Structured Knowledge
Organize your team's knowledge with spaces, nested pages, and granular permissions. AFFiNE's flat structure doesn't scale for teams managing large knowledge bases.
Need a team-ready knowledge base?
Choose Docmost for a stable, enterprise-grade wiki with the permissions, structure, and collaboration features your team needs.
