Who it is for

Frequently asked questions

Is it an alternative to Notion or Confluence?

Yes, for team documentation and knowledge management: structured pages, spaces, collaborative authoring, inline comments, and revision histories. The difference is native right-to-left Arabic layout, private hosting in Egypt, and zero per-seat subscription fees.

Is there a free alternative to Notion?

The core software is open source with no per-user license fees. You pay us for hosting, configuration, and managed operations, not per employee.

What is the difference between it and the team wiki?

Team docs is an independent platform with complete right-to-left Arabic support and rich embedded visual diagrams. For organizations deploying the Asas ecosystem wanting knowledge bases embedded directly within file storage under single sign-on, choose team wiki.

Can we migrate pages from Notion?

Yes, it imports Notion workspaces cleanly, and we help review and structure the imported hierarchy (data migration).

Our limits

  • Single sign-on (SSO) with enterprise identity providers is an upstream commercial tier feature; standard deployment uses dedicated system accounts unless licensed.
  • The software is from its developer (Docmost); our role is hosting, configuration, operation, and support.
