Orbit vs Perfect Wiki
Sprocket Orbit vs Perfect Wiki
These are the two products most often shortlisted together, and they are genuinely close. Both install into Teams, both handle knowledge bases properly, and both have shipped MCP servers. The decision usually comes down to two questions: where your content is allowed to live, and how many people read versus write.
Last updated . Competitor pricing verified against vendor pricing pages.
The short answer
Choose Sprocket Orbit if your content must stay inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant and you want AI assistants writing into the wiki. Choose Perfect Wiki if you want the product with the longest track record in the Teams Store and vendor hosting is acceptable. Both charge for editors only and include unlimited free readers.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is Sprocket Orbit or Perfect Wiki cheaper?
Both charge for editors only and include unlimited free readers, so the models are directly comparable. Orbit includes 10 free editors on every tenant and then charges $10 per editor per month billed yearly. Perfect Wiki starts at $9 per editor per month, and that rate requires a three year term and a five editor minimum.
Do both work inside Microsoft Teams?
Yes. Both install as Teams apps and open inside Teams with single sign-on using your Microsoft identity. Neither requires a separate account or password.
What is the main difference between Orbit and Perfect Wiki?
Where your content lives. Orbit writes every note as a plain markdown file into SharePoint sites and OneDrive folders you nominate, so your organisation holds the data. Perfect Wiki stores content on its own infrastructure. For regulated buyers this single difference usually decides the shortlist.
Can I migrate from Perfect Wiki to Sprocket Orbit?
Yes. Export your Perfect Wiki content, then import the files into an Orbit workspace pointed at your chosen SharePoint site. Because Orbit stores notes as standard markdown, the imported content stays readable outside Orbit from day one.
