Our verdict

AppFlowy combines docs, wikis, project tracking and AI search into one workspace, and it can run entirely on your own infrastructure down to an air-gapped setup. The free plan caps out at two members, 5GB of storage and just 10 AI responses a month, with paid plans starting at $6 a month for more room. Enterprises wanting SSO, SCIM and full data control get there, but a two-person free tier makes it awkward for growing teams to try before paying.
