Klority vs Notion
The wiki built for engineers, not HR.
Notion is great for company wikis and marketing mood boards. But when software teams try to use it for RFCs, architecture diagrams, and system runbooks, it quickly becomes sluggish and disconnected from the sprint board.

Choose Klority Wiki if...
- → You want technical RFCs and ADRs linked to the sprint cards that implement them
- → You create Mermaid flowcharts and sequence diagrams regularly
- → You want fast page loads without database query lag
- → You want PM, Wiki, and QA unified in a single $2/user/mo plan
- → Your developers refuse to navigate bloated Notion relational databases
Notion still wins if...
- → You are building non-technical company wikis for HR and Marketing
- → You rely on custom formula rollups and relation databases
- → You need custom page covers and aesthetic moodboards
Stop Documentation Rot.
Why technical specs stay alive when embedded in Klority.
1. Architectural Decision Records (ADRs)
When an engineering lead decides to migrate from REST to gRPC or adopt a new caching strategy, they document it in Klority Wiki. The ADR is embedded directly inside the parent Epic card, so every engineer working on the feature sees the context.
2. Living Runbooks at 2 AM
When production incidents happen, engineers don't have time to search through 50 nested Notion databases. Klority's lightning-fast global search pulls up incident runbooks and rollback procedures in under 50 milliseconds.
Your wiki, linked to your code.
Experience an engineering wiki that developers actually love to write in. Free for solo builders, just $2/user/month for teams.
Wiki FAQs
Everything you need to know. Click a question to expand the answer.
Why is Klority a better engineering wiki than Notion?
Notion is a general-purpose workspace that gets slow as databases grow. Klority Wiki is purpose-built for software engineers with native Mermaid diagrams, markdown-first editing, slash commands, and direct 1-click linking to active sprint tasks and test cases.
Does Klority Wiki support Mermaid diagrams without plugins?
Yes! Klority has first-class native Mermaid.js support. You can type or paste sequence diagrams, flowcharts, and architecture maps directly into docs without third-party embeds or paid plugins.
How much does Notion cost compared to Klority?
Notion Plus / Business costs $10–$18/user/month. But Notion only covers docs (forcing you to pay another $7.91+/mo for Jira and $37+/mo for TestRail). Klority includes Project Management, Engineering Wiki, and QA Test Management all together for $2/user/month.
Can I organize wiki pages in nested hierarchies?
Yes. Klority wiki supports nested page structures with parent/child relationships, allowing you to organize docs by team, project, or topic.
