This is a comparison of wiki farms. This article will include a general comparison on the basis of cost, existence of ads, licensing, and Alexa rank. A technical comparison will provide differences in editing, features, wiki engine, and multilingual and syntax support. This data should help decision makers choose an appropriate wiki farm.

General comparison

The following tables compare general information for several wiki farms; however, more than 100 wiki farms have been created.[1]

The Alexa traffic rankings are not accurate for those wiki farms that allow some of their hosted wikis to have separate domain names. In those cases there may be some additional Alexa rankings listed below for some of the larger individual wikis in a wiki farm.
