In their own words
KBPublisher
KBPublisher is knowledge base and knowledge management software for organizations, with web, API, and self-hosted options. Teams can create and format articles, attach files, and revise published content in drafts. Approval workflows support review and publication. Search offers full-text matching, spell checking, word variations, partial-word recognition, and Sphinx. Access controls include security groups and user roles; authentication options include LDAP, SAML integration, and remote authentication for single sign-on. The HR solution describes employee onboarding programs, versioned personnel documents, and an employee self-service portal. The licensed download installs on one web server, and the Community Edition is on-premise only. That free edition has unlimited staff users, end users, articles, and files, but no support or maintenance and no cloud version. Cloud fees include support, upgrades, and automatic content backups; data export is available without charge. Content analytics, custom branding, multilingual content, and approval workflows are supported. Pricing is freemium, with paid service listed from $33/mo (annual); a free trial is available.
