Switching guide

A Slab alternative for teams past ten people

A clean, opinionated knowledge base built around topics rather than folders, with a generous free tier and a strong search experience.

Slab's free tier for ten users is the most generous in this market, and below that headcount it is a fine choice. The eleventh hire turns it into $6.67 per user per month for the whole team; Flocci Library is ₹49 a seat — roughly ₹1,225 for 25 people versus about ₹14,700.

Why teams leave Slab

The free tier ends at ten users, and then the per-user price applies to everyone, not just the newcomers.
AI Ask and AI Predict sit at the $12.50 Business tier.
Attachments cap at 10 MB on the free plan.
Another standalone vendor with another dollar invoice.

Keep, gain, lose — plainly


You keep	A clean reading experience, strong search, and organised team knowledge.
You gain	₹49 seats in INR, native chart and table blocks, AI drafting and five rewrite modes on shared credits, realtime updates, and one identity across the Flocci suite.
You lose	Slab's topic-based organisation and its 90-day version history view. Library uses spaces plus backlinks, with auto-save conflict protection and trash restore.

How to migrate from Slab

Map topics to spaces: most Slab topics become either a space or a top-level page.
Recreate the hierarchy in Library, then move posts newest-first.
Where a topic was doing cross-cutting work, use @mention chips instead — backlinks give you the same discovery.
Re-upload attachments that were bumping the 10 MB free ceiling.
Invite the whole team at once; seats are ₹49, so there is no reason to ration access.
