Slite: cost, fit and limits
Slite is a team knowledge base made by Slite, Inc. that stores documentation and uses an AI agent to answer questions with citations and to spot outdated facts across Slack, Linear, GitHub and the codebase, for companies that need staff to find current procedures quickly.
What to know first
Slite prices per user: Basic at $10 a month billed yearly with 50 monthly credits per seat, Pro at $20 a month adding the Slite Agent, and a custom Enterprise tier. A 14-day trial starts at sign-up without a card. Credits power every agent request across Slite, Slack, the API, MCP and scheduled work. The vendor says customer data is never used to train AI models and states EU hosting.

Who Slite is best for
Remote teams with scattered answers
Cited answers appear in Slite, Slack and a Chrome extension, so a person asking about a procedure gets the source page instead of a guess.
Engineering-led companies
The agent watches Slack, Linear, GitHub and the codebase for outdated facts, which helps when procedures change with every release and docs lag behind.
Buyers who need EU hosting and a no-training promise
The homepage states EU hosting, SOC 2 Type II and that data is never used to train AI models, which shortens a security review.

What Slite does
- Slite Agent
- Watches Slack, Linear, GitHub and the codebase for facts that no longer match the docs, then drafts updates for a person to approve before they go live.
- Cited AI answers
- Answers show their source documents and work in Slite, in Slack, in the Chrome extension and in any AI tool connected over MCP, so the same cited reply appears wherever the question is asked.
- Doc review and audit
- The agent can be triggered to review a document or audit the whole knowledge base, which gives an owner a list of stale pages without reading each one.
- Slack integration
- Questions can be asked and answered in Slack, so people do not have to leave the channel where the question came up, and the reply carries a link back to the source page.
- Inline writing and translation
- AI helps write and translate inside the editor. Credits power the agent, and the pricing page lists 30 AI edits per user per month, which caps casual rewriting.
- Chrome extension
- A browser extension surfaces knowledge while a person works in other web tools, reducing trips back to the wiki for a single answer, and staying in the browser tab already open.
How Slite handles your data
The vendor homepage states that data is never used to train AI models, that hosting is in the EU, and that the company holds SOC 2 Type II and addresses HIPAA and GDPR. The privacy policy gives a San Francisco address for Slite, Inc. Retention periods were not stated on the pages opened, and fuller security documentation is available to Enterprise customers rather than published. Teams with strict requirements should request that documentation, along with the list of AI subprocessors, before they connect Slack or GitHub content.
Where Slite falls short in practice
- Credit metering. Every agent request across Slite, Slack, the API, MCP and scheduled work uses credits, and Basic includes 50 per seat each month. Heavy agent use may require a higher plan.
- Not a capture tool. The pages opened describe writing, search and review, not screen recording or click capture. A team that wants a recorded task turned into steps needs a separate tool.
- Security detail on request. The homepage makes the SOC 2 and EU hosting claims, but fuller security documentation is given to Enterprise customers, so smaller buyers rely on the public statements.

Alternatives to Slite
Slite: common questions
Does Slite use my documents to train AI models?
The vendor homepage states that data is never used to train AI models. The pricing and privacy pages did not add retention details. A buyer who needs contractual language should ask for the data processing terms, since a homepage statement is not the same as a signed agreement.
Where does Slite host data?
The vendor homepage states EU hosting. The pages opened did not name a country or cloud provider, and they did not say whether the choice is available per workspace. Ask for the hosting location in writing if your policy names a country, not just the EU.
What is the difference between Basic and Pro?
Basic is $10 per user per month billed yearly with 50 monthly credits per seat. Pro is $20 and adds the Slite Agent features, which include doc review, knowledge base audit and watching connected tools for outdated facts. Both have a 14-day trial without a card.
Does Slite have an API and MCP support?
The pricing page says credits power agent requests across Slite, Slack, the API, MCP and scheduled work, so both exist. Cited answers can reach any AI tool over MCP. The pages opened did not give API limits, so check the documentation before building automation.
Can Slite replace a screen-recording SOP tool?
Not on the evidence of the pages opened. Slite stores, searches and reviews documents, and the agent keeps them current. It does not describe turning a recorded task into steps, so teams that document by demonstration usually pair it with a capture tool.
