The short version
- Each has a real cost: Slab it is built for internal knowledge, so public product documentation on a custom domain with versioning is outside what the product does.; Weet the free tier is capped at three weets, which is far tighter than the free tiers of the screen recording tools it is compared against, so any real evaluation has to happen on the paid plan.
- They diverge on capability: Slab covers Topics instead of folders, Weet covers Screen and webcam recording.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

- An internal enablement team converting existing written standard operating procedures into video without filming anythingnot Slab
- A distributed team building a searchable how to library so the same question is not answered live every weeknot Slab
- A training function that needs completion statistics and quiz results, not just view countsnot Slab
Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Slab
- It is built for internal knowledge, so public product documentation on a custom domain with versioning is outside what the product does.
- There is no docs-as-code workflow, no git synchronisation and no markdown files on disk, so engineering-owned technical documentation ends up somewhere else anyway.
- Hierarchy is shallow by design, and organisations that genuinely need deep nested structure find topics an awkward substitute rather than an improvement.
- There is no offline mode, so a knowledge base that includes incident runbooks is unavailable during exactly the incident where the network is the problem.
- Pricing is per user per month, so organisations where most staff only read a handbook twice a year still pay a seat for each of them.
Weet
- The free tier is capped at three weets, which is far tighter than the free tiers of the screen recording tools it is compared against, so any real evaluation has to happen on the paid plan.
- Quizzes, learning paths, single sign on and GxP compliance are all Enterprise only, so the features that distinguish Weet from a screen recorder are not available on the 24 US dollar Business tier at all.
- Pricing is per creator, so an organisation that wants many occasional contributors pays full price for people who publish twice a year, and in practice content production concentrates on a few seats.
- It competes against Loom and Guidde, which have far larger installed bases and integration ecosystems, so a team standardising on Weet accepts a smaller vendor in a category with heavy consolidation pressure.
- It is not a full learning management system, so an organisation with formal compliance training obligations beyond video completion still needs an LMS alongside it, which undercuts the case for a separate video tool.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Slab: Can I publish documentation publicly with Slab?
Posts can be shared by link, but it is not a product documentation platform. There is no custom domain publishing, versioning or API reference tooling.
Weet: Is Weet still operating?
Yes. The site and pricing page are live and maintained, and there is no sunset or shutdown notice.
Slab: What does the free plan actually cover?
Up to ten users with unlimited posts and core integrations. It is a real free tier rather than a trial, and it is enough for a small company handbook.
Weet: What does the free plan include?
Up to three weets with AI avatars, recording, editing and transcription. Three is a very low ceiling, so evaluate on Business.
Slab: How does it compare with a general workspace tool?
Slab does less on purpose. There are no databases, boards or task views, which makes it faster to write in and much harder to turn into an unmaintained sprawl.
Weet: What is GxP compliance and who needs it?
It is the regulated practice framework used in pharmaceutical and life sciences manufacturing where training records must be auditable. It is on the Enterprise tier only and is the main reason a regulated company would choose Weet.
Slab: Does search really cover other tools?
Yes, connected sources are indexed and appear in results. That integration is the main reason to choose it, so verify your specific tools are supported before committing.
Weet: Is it a learning management system?
No. It handles video training and quizzes, but formal compliance training programmes need a proper LMS alongside it.
