Team docs, collections, and project boards in one workspace

Alternative to Notion

Orgnise is an open-source team workspace that keeps company knowledge and project work in one place. Teams write docs in a Notion-style editor, group pages into collections, and move the same pages across kanban boards without copying them into a second tool. It serves small teams that want docs and delivery tracking together, with a hosted cloud service that starts free.[1][2]

Quick verdict

Small teams that want docs and task boards in a single workspace benefit most from Orgnise. Its defining capability is the collection that behaves as both a document group and a kanban board, so writing and workflow status share one object. The material constraint is maturity and documentation depth: self-hosting, API, and SSO support are undocumented, so teams that need those guarantees should choose something else. If your team lives in docs and boards and can accept a young hosted product, shortlist Orgnise; if you need proven enterprise controls, choose an established incumbent such as Notion.[1][2][3]

Key features

  • Slash-command rich-text editor Headings, lists, and embeds are inserted with slash commands, so pages carry headings, lists, and embedded content in one document.[1]

  • Collections as document groups Pages belong to collections organised by project or function, such as design, marketing, or engineering, keeping related writing together.[1]

  • Board view of the same pages A collection renders as columns and pages move from idea to done without being copied into another tool.[1]

  • Team workspaces with invites Teams invite members into one shared space, and workspaces separate areas of work while keeping everyone on the same product.[1]

  • Role-based page and workspace limits Plan-based usage limits govern content creation, workspace creation, member invitations, and page counts by subscription tier.[1][2]

  • Tiered support model Free plans use community support through the help center and GitHub discussions, paid plans add email and chat, and Enterprise adds a success manager and Slack channel.[1][2]

  • Use-case coverage for four teams The site documents setups for engineering, customer support knowledge bases, project management, and company-wide collaboration.[1]

  • Open AGPL-3.0 codebase The webapp repository is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3 and names its stack as Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Shadcn UI, MongoDB, and NextAuth.js.[1][2]

Who will love it

  • Small teams merging wiki and board: engineering or operations teams of a handful of people get docs, collections, and boards in one workspace instead of paying for two tools.[1][2]

  • Startups that start free and grow by seats: the free tier covers a single user trying the workflow, and Pro and Business add users, workspaces, and pages at fixed monthly prices.[1]

  • Support teams building a knowledge base: the documented customer-support setup stores articles, FAQs, and troubleshooting guides in the same product that tracks follow-up work.[1]

Who should avoid it

  • Teams that require documented self-hosting: the codebase is public and AGPL-3.0 licensed, but no self-hosting documentation or edition terms were found, so operators needing that guarantee should look elsewhere.[1][2]

  • Organisations that need SSO, API, or data-region answers: none of these are documented in the observed official sources, and silence is not a promise they exist.[1][2]

  • Buyers who want established community proof: the repository shows 249 stars and 39 forks with its latest major changelog entries in May 2024, and no independent user reports were reviewed for this article.[1][2]

Alternatives and compatibility

The official site calls its editor Notion-style, which positions Orgnise against Notion for the docs-plus-boards workflow; Notion is the mature hosted incumbent while Orgnise counters with an open codebase and lower starting prices. Import formats and migration paths are undocumented, so a move should be treated as manual.[1]

Questions worth asking

What is the best Orgnise alternative for non-technical users?

Notion is the safer conditional choice for non-technical users: a mature hosted product with native apps and a large template ecosystem, while Orgnise suits teams comfortable with a young web-only workspace.[1]

Is Orgnise really no-code?

Yes for its documented workflow: writing pages, organising collections, and moving board cards use the visual editor and slash commands with no code required. Code enters only if a team builds or modifies the open repository itself.[1]

How much does Orgnise cost per month?

As checked on October 12, 2026: Free costs $0, Pro costs $24 per month, Business costs $59 per month, and Enterprise is custom-priced, with users, workspaces, and pages scaling by plan.[1]

Can you self-host Orgnise?

Self-hosting availability is unknown: the codebase is public under AGPL-3.0, but no self-hosting documentation, supported deployment methods, or edition restrictions were found. A public repository alone does not prove supported self-hosting.[1][2]
