The Verdict

Slite is the better pick if your team just wants a fast, low-friction place to write and share notes together — it's cheaper at the entry tier and easier to use day-to-day. Tettra wins if you actually need a governed knowledge base with content ownership, verification workflows, and a Slack bot that answers questions instead of just linking to docs. Teams that outgrow Slite's freeform structure usually move to Tettra, not the other way around.

How to switch from Slite to Tettra

1Export your Slite content: for a full backup, go to Workspace Settings > Export to download a ZIP of all docs in Markdown format, or export individual notes via each doc's 'Download as' menu (Markdown, PDF, or Word).
2Sign up for Tettra and use its Markdown/file import tool to bring your exported Slite docs in, then reorganize them into Tettra's Categories and Pages structure since Slite's flat note organization won't map 1:1.
3Reconnect Slack: install Tettra's Slack app so team members can ask questions and get answers pulled from the new knowledge base, replacing Slite's simpler Slack sharing integration.
4Recreate your team's permission structure in Tettra by setting up roles and page-level access, since Slite's simpler workspace-level permissions won't transfer automatically.
5Set up content verification schedules in Tettra for your most important pages so they get flagged for review on a recurring basis.
6Run both tools in parallel for 1-2 weeks, redirect team links and bookmarks to Tettra, then archive or downgrade your Slite workspace once the team has fully switched over.

Slite vs Tettra: common questions

How do I export my data from Slite before switching?+

Open each doc's menu and use 'Download as' to export individual notes as Markdown, PDF, or Word. For a full workspace export, go to Workspace Settings > Export, which generates a ZIP file of all your docs in Markdown format. Admin access is required to run a full workspace export.

What do I lose moving from Slite to Tettra?+

You lose Slite's real-time, simultaneous multi-cursor editing — Tettra is closer to a traditional wiki with edit-and-save workflows. You'll also lose Slite's more freeform note structure in favor of Tettra's category/page hierarchy, which requires more upfront organization.

Is Tettra's free plan enough for a small team?+

Tettra's free Basic plan caps out at 10 users, so it works for very small teams but not much beyond that. If you're already over 10 people or expect to grow soon, budget for the Scaling plan since you'll hit the user limit quickly.

Does Tettra integrate with Slack and other tools like Slite does?+

Yes, Tettra has a Slack integration that goes further than Slite's — its bot can answer employee questions directly in Slack by pulling from your knowledge base. Tettra also integrates with Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, and offers an API on paid plans, similar to Slite.

Is Tettra cheaper or more expensive than Slite long-term?+

At the entry paid tier, Tettra ($8.33/user/month annually) is close to Slite's Standard plan ($8/member/month annually), but Tettra's Professional tier costs more per seat than Slite's Premium plan. For teams under 10 people, Tettra can be free while Slite charges once you pass 50 notes, so the cheaper option depends on your usage pattern, not just headcount.
