Outline

What Outline is

Outline is software from Outline, a maker founded in 2020. Its plans are priced by team size: the 1–10 team member plan is $10 a month, the 11–100 member plan is $79 a month, and the 101–200 member plan is $249 a month. Annual pricing is available for each of these plans. A 30-day trial is offered, and there is no free plan. Outline supports web, Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux, giving teams a choice of platforms for access. The product supports publishing to both internal and external audiences. Teams can use a custom domain and single sign-on, and can access version history and content analytics. These capabilities make the listed plans relevant to teams that publish content for more than one audience and want controls for identity, domain, history, and analytics. The plan options cover teams from 1 through 200 members, with the monthly price increasing across the listed team-size bands.

Who it suits

Outline suits teams that need to publish to both internal and external audiences and want a custom domain or single sign-on. Its listed plans cover teams of 1–200 members, and it supports web, desktop, and mobile platforms.

Limits

There is no free plan. The trial lasts 30 days, and the listed team-size plans cover up to 200 members.
