Tettra Review — Knowledge Capture, Search, and Documentation Discipline for Operational Teams
Tettra is an internal knowledge base built around Slack. Staff ask a question in a channel or a DM, Tettra's AI bot answers from your pages, and anything it cannot answer becomes a question an expert can reply to and turn into a page. Pages have owners and verification dates, and admins get reports on stale, unowned and public content.
Tettra markets directly to HR and operations teams, alongside support teams, agencies and law firms. On annual billing the Scaling plan costs $8 per user each month, with a 10-user minimum, so the smallest annual bill is $960. I reviewed it as a home for an employee handbook and the flood of repeat policy questions that land in an HR Slack channel.
The verdict
For a Slack-first company whose people team answers the same benefits and PTO questions every week, Tettra is one of the most practical knowledge tools available at $8 per user.
The Q&A loop is the reason to buy it. Questions asked in Slack get AI answers from verified pages, unanswered ones get routed to an expert, and good answers turn into pages, so the handbook grows from real questions.
Two things hold it back. The 10-user minimum makes it pricey for tiny teams, and SAML SSO and SCIM are paid add-ons on Scaling, so IT-driven companies often end up on custom Enterprise pricing. Companies on Microsoft Teams also lose most of the Slack advantage.
I would pick Tettra for a 20 to 250 person company that lives in Slack and wants policy answers to stay current through verification. Teams that want a flexible docs and project workspace are better served by Notion.
Where Tettra fits
Who it suits
Tettra suits HR, people ops and operations teams at Slack-based companies of roughly 20 to 250 employees that field the same policy, benefits and process questions over and over.
It fits teams that want named owners and verification dates on every page, so a benefits change triggers a review instead of leaving an old answer in place for a year.
Teams on Microsoft Teams, companies under 10 people, and anyone wanting databases or project boards next to their docs should compare Guru, Nuclino or Notion.
What it does differently
Tettra stands out for turning Slack questions into maintained documentation. The bot answers in DMs and channels using your pages, and unanswered questions go to a named expert.
Mining existing Slack threads for answers and summarizing long threads with AI means knowledge that already exists in chat can become a page without someone retyping it.
Verification is built in. Each page has an owner who confirms it on a schedule, and the stale pages report lists everything past due, which is what keeps a leave policy page from quietly going out of date.
Admin reports cover stale pages, unowned content and public content, and team usage analytics show who reads and contributes. For an HR lead, those reports make a quarterly handbook audit a short job.
How it gets bought
Tettra sells self-serve on Scaling with a 30-day trial and no credit card, and through sales for Enterprise. A 20-person HR-plus-managers rollout costs about $1,920 a year on yearly billing.
Only accepted invitations count as users, and the size of your Slack workspace does not affect the bill. That lets you license the people who write and read pages rather than every Slack member.
Budget risk sits in the add-ons. SAML SSO and SCIM cost extra on Scaling, so price them before rollout if IT will insist on them, or move straight to an Enterprise quote.
Tettra pricing: Scaling at $8 per user and custom Enterprise
Scaling is $8 per user per month on yearly billing, which Tettra describes as two free months, or $10 on monthly billing. There is a 10-user minimum, so the entry point is $960 a year or $100 a month. Only invited users who accept count toward the license, and deactivated users drop off.
Enterprise is custom priced. It bundles SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning, hands-on training, custom import and onboarding, and custom reporting, and Tettra offers discounted per-user rates past 250 licenses. Nonprofits and schools can ask sales for a discount.

What the Tettra Scaling plan includes for $8 per user
Scaling covers the AI features (answers, page tagging, FAQ generation and training on Google Docs), the Slack bot with AI answers and thread summaries, questions and answers, unlimited version history and storage, and external sites for publishing pages outside the company.
It also includes the governance tools that make Tettra useful for HR: page verification, page requests, stale pages and unowned content reports, group permissions, guest and read-only users, page locking, team usage analytics, Zapier and API access. Support is live chat.
When Tettra Enterprise is worth the custom quote
SAML single sign-on and SCIM user provisioning are paid add-ons on Scaling and included on Enterprise. If IT requires both, get an Enterprise quote and compare it with Scaling plus add-ons before deciding.
Enterprise also adds custom content import, onboarding and training, custom reporting, custom integrations and priority support. Companies moving a large Confluence or Google Drive archive benefit most from the managed import.
Tettra features: knowledge capture, search, workflows, and reporting
Tettra pages, categories and external sites
Content lives as pages grouped into categories, with unlimited version history and storage on every paid plan. Invite-only categories keep HR-only or manager-only pages private.
Paid plans can publish individual pages through shared links or make whole categories public as external sites, useful for sharing a candidate handbook or benefits overview outside the company.
Tettra page locking and permissions. Page locking stops edits to approved policies, while group permissions, guest users and read-only users control who can see and change content.
Tettra Google Workspace and Zapier integrations. The Google Workspace integration and AI training on Google Docs bring existing documents in, and Zapier plus the API connect Tettra to other systems.
Tettra AI answers and search
Tettra's AI answers questions using the content in your pages, both in the web app and in Slack DMs and channels, and links to the pages it used.
AI page tagging and FAQ generation help keep new content organized, so search and AI answers draw on well-labeled material.
Tettra AI answers in Slack. Employees ask the Tettra bot in a DM or channel and get an answer with its source pages. Tettra says it does not message teammates unprompted when the bot is connected.
Tettra AI thread summarization. Long Slack threads can be summarized by AI and captured as knowledge, which saves an HR lead from rewriting a decision thread into a policy page by hand.
Tettra Q&A, page requests and verification
The Q&A workflow collects questions the AI cannot answer and routes them to experts. Page requests let anyone ask for documentation that does not exist yet.
Verification assigns an owner and review schedule to each page, and the owner confirms or updates it when the date arrives.
Tettra page verification. Verified pages show employees that the content was checked recently. Overdue pages show up in the stale pages report until their owner reviews them.
Tettra answer mining from Slack. Tettra can mine existing answers from Slack, pulling useful replies into the knowledge base so past explanations are not lost in chat history.
Tettra admin reports and usage analytics
Admins get stale pages, unowned content and public content reports, plus team usage analytics on the Scaling plan.
Enterprise adds custom reporting. Tettra reports 99.99% uptime over the last year and encrypts data in transit and at rest.
Tettra stale and unowned content reports. These reports list pages past their verification date and pages with no owner, often because someone left. Reassigning them is the first job of a quarterly audit.
Tettra team usage analytics. Usage analytics show which people read and contribute, helping HR see whether managers actually use the handbook they were asked to maintain.
Tettra pros and cons: Slack answers, verification and seat minimum
Strengths
Tettra answers policy questions inside Slack
The Slack bot gives AI answers in DMs and channels, drawn from your Tettra pages. Employees ask about parental leave where they already work instead of opening another app.
For HR teams, this cuts the repeat questions that pile up in a people-team channel, and it links back to the source page so the employee can read the full policy.
Sign in with Slack and Slack notifications keep setup light for staff who never need to learn the web app.
Tettra Q&A turns unanswered questions into pages
When the AI cannot answer, the question goes into Tettra's Q&A queue for an expert. The answer can then be saved as a page so the next person gets it automatically.
Page requests let anyone flag a missing topic, which gives the HR team a backlog built from real employee needs.
Mining existing answers from Slack also seeds the knowledge base with threads your team has already written.
Tettra verification keeps pages from going stale
Pages carry an owner and a verification schedule. When the date passes, the owner is prompted to confirm or update the content.
The stale pages report lists every overdue page, and the unowned content report catches pages whose owner has left the company.
For benefits, payroll and leave policies that change yearly, this is the feature that keeps employees from acting on last year's rules.
Tettra reports show knowledge base health
Team usage analytics show who reads and who contributes. Stale, unowned and public content reports show where the knowledge base needs work.
Enterprise adds custom reporting for companies that want a specific view for leadership.
For an HR lead asked to prove the handbook is maintained, these reports are ready-made evidence.
Tettra AI helps write and organize content
AI page tagging files new pages into the right place, AI FAQ generation drafts questions from existing content, and you can train the AI on Google Docs.
AI thread summarization in Slack condenses a long debate into a draft page, saving the person who would otherwise write it up.
All of these features sit on the Scaling plan rather than a premium AI tier.
Tettra has a 30-day trial and public pricing
Scaling pricing is on the website: $8 per user per month yearly or $10 monthly, with a 10-user minimum.
The 30-day free trial needs no credit card, and it is long enough to connect Slack and test real questions for a few weeks.
After the trial, Tettra asks for a card to continue, so nothing bills automatically.
Limitations
Tettra has a 10-user minimum
Scaling requires at least 10 paid users, so the smallest yearly bill is $960 even for a five-person company.
Guest and read-only users help, but a very small team pays for seats it does not use.
Teams under 10 people usually get better value from Nuclino or Notion.
Tettra charges extra for SSO and SCIM on Scaling
SAML single sign-on and SCIM user provisioning are paid add-ons on Scaling and only included on Enterprise.
Tettra's plan table marks group permissions as needing the SCIM add-on, which pushes larger companies toward Enterprise.
Ask for add-on pricing in writing before comparing Tettra with tools that include SSO in the base price.
Tettra loses much of its edge without Slack
The AI bot, thread summaries, sign-in and answer mining are all Slack features. Tettra's pricing page does not list an equivalent for Microsoft Teams.
A company on Teams still gets the web knowledge base, verification and reports, but not the chat workflow that sets Tettra apart.
Teams-based companies should compare Guru or Confluence, which reach Teams users more directly.
Tettra's app is English-only
Tettra stores content in any language, but the interface is English only according to its own FAQ.
For a multinational HR team with local managers who work in other languages, that can slow adoption.
Check whether your non-English staff are comfortable with an English interface during the trial.
Tettra has no databases or project boards
Tettra organizes pages into categories with Q&A and verification. It does not offer databases, boards or project tracking.
Teams that want onboarding trackers or policy registers as structured tables will need a second tool or a spreadsheet.
If a single workspace for docs and projects matters more than verified answers, Notion is the closer match.
Tettra's Scaling plan costs $8 per user per month with a 10-user minimum, so the entry price is $80 a month, and yearly billing takes 20% off. An AI bot answers questions inside Slack using Tettra pages, and SSO and SCIM are paid add-ons below the Enterprise tier.
Tettra demo checklist and buying motion
Tettra's 30-day trial is long enough to run a real test in Slack. The demo, if you book one, should cover add-on pricing and the Q&A routing.
- Connect Slack on day one of the trial. Load your top 20 policy pages, point the bot at your HR channel, and track for two weeks how many questions it answers without a person. That number tells you most of what you need.
- Price SSO and SCIM before committing to Scaling. Both are paid add-ons on Scaling and included on Enterprise. Get both numbers in writing and compare them with Scaling at $8 per user yearly.
- Assign an owner and verification schedule to every page before launch. The stale pages report only helps if owners exist, so set review intervals by policy type, such as yearly for handbook pages and at open enrollment for benefits.
- Check the 10-user minimum against your plan. If only HR and managers will write content, guest and read-only users may cover everyone else, keeping paid seats near the minimum.

What the list price doesn't cover
Per-user scaling as your team grows
Tettra's per-user model means total cost rises with headcount. The cost you see at your current team size is not the cost you will see after growth, so budget projections should account for the number of people who will need knowledge base access over time. Confirm whether annual billing changes the per-user rate and whether a minimum seat count applies, and ask how mid-term seat additions are billed. Per-user pricing is predictable per seat but can become a meaningful line item as access expands across the organization.
Implementation depth that varies by plan
A noted caveat with Tettra is that implementation depth varies by plan. The workflow coverage, approval support, and reporting demonstrated in a sales conversation may not all be available at your chosen tier. This means the per-user price alone does not tell you what you are getting — two teams paying per user could have different capabilities depending on plan. Before signing, request a feature-by-feature confirmation of what your plan includes and map your must-have capabilities to specific inclusions so the cost corresponds to the depth you actually need.
What we'd confirm on a demo
Request the exact per-user rate and billing terms in writing
Tettra's published per-user price was not available in our source data. Get a written quote that states the per-user rate, whether annual billing changes it, and any minimum seat count. Use this confirmed number — not an estimate — for budgeting and competitive comparison.
Confirm exactly what the Standard plan includes
Implementation depth varies by plan, so request a feature-by-feature confirmation of what the Standard plan includes for your team size. Map your must-have capabilities — workflow coverage, approval support, reporting — to specific inclusions before committing.
Use the free trial to validate workflows with your own content
Tettra offers a free trial. Test knowledge capture, search, and approval workflows with your team's actual content rather than a sample dataset. Confirm that Tettra's findability and documentation discipline match how your team really works before signing.
Frequently asked questions on Tettra verification and Slack answers
What is Tettra used for?
Tettra is an internal knowledge base and Q&A tool that works closely with Slack. Teams use it to store policies, SOPs and how-tos, answer repeat questions with an AI bot in Slack, route unanswered questions to experts, and keep pages current through owner verification and stale-content reports.
How much does Tettra cost?
Tettra's Scaling plan costs $8 per user a month on a yearly contract or $10 month to month, with a 10-user minimum. SAML SSO and SCIM are paid add-ons on Scaling. Enterprise is custom priced, includes SSO, SCIM, custom import and onboarding, and offers discounted rates past 250 licenses.
Does Tettra offer a free trial?
Yes. Scaling comes with 30 free days, and signup asks for no card. When the trial ends, Tettra asks for a card to continue, so there is no automatic charge. Use the trial to connect Slack and test AI answers against your own policy pages.
Who is Tettra best for?
Tettra fits HR, operations and support teams at Slack-based companies with roughly 20 to 250 employees that answer the same questions repeatedly and want verified, owned pages. It suits companies on Microsoft Teams less well, along with teams under 10 people because of the seat minimum, and anyone wanting databases or project tracking.
What are the main pros and cons of Tettra?
Pros: AI answers inside Slack, a Q&A queue that turns questions into pages, page verification with stale and unowned content reports, and public pricing at $8 per user. Cons: a 10-user minimum, SSO and SCIM as paid add-ons on Scaling, an English-only interface, and much less value for teams outside Slack.
Is Tettra a wiki or a full HR platform?
Neither. Tettra is a knowledge base with Q&A and verification, closer to Guru than to Confluence. It has no HRIS functions such as payroll, time off or employee records, and no databases or project boards. HR teams use it next to their HRIS to publish policies and answer questions about them.
Alternatives worth comparing
Tettra depends on Slack and a 10-user minimum. These alternatives change one or both of those conditions.
| Product | Pricing model | Free trial | Why buyers shortlist it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Document360 | Tiered pricing | Yes | Document360 is a knowledge base for product documentation and internal help centers, with [Eddy](/software/eddy) AI search, a workflow builder and 60+ integrations. |
| Guru | Per-user pricing | Yes | Guru is Tettra's closest rival on verification, using short cards that expire on a schedule. It reaches Microsoft Teams and the browser as well as Slack, which helps companies not built on Slack. |
| Confluence | Per-user pricing | Yes | Confluence handles large page trees, page-level permissions and Jira links for companies with thousands of pages. Its editor is heavier, and it has no equivalent of Tettra's Slack Q&A queue out of the box. |
| Helpjuice | Tiered pricing | Yes | Helpjuice is a knowledge base for support and internal teams, priced per plan with user caps rather than per seat. |
| Bloomfire | Custom quote | Not stated | Bloomfire is a knowledge-sharing platform with AI answers and automated content health checks, billed per plan rather than per user. |
