Choose Display if

Product and engineering teams that already generate HTML docs and prototypes with coding agents and want one private place to share, review and version them.

  • Works with any agent, so Claude and Codex users can edit the same doc
  • Unlimited free viewers and commenters on every plan
  • Flat Team price covers up to 150 editors

Look elsewhere if: Teams that mainly need a classic wiki or office-file storage with mature compliance paperwork (Confluence, Google Drive).

Choose XWiki if

Organisations that want an open-source, self-hostable enterprise wiki with full data ownership and a supported path off Confluence.

  • Fully open source, so self-hosting has no licence cost
  • Data stays portable between cloud and self-hosted at any time
  • Scales to millions of pages and very large user bases

Look elsewhere if: Small teams that want a polished, low-maintenance docs workspace with monthly billing (Notion, Outline).
