questions
Can AI replace Shimo / 石墨文档?

Kinda. The core of Shimo / 石墨文档 is buildable in a weekend with the prompt on this page, but there are real gaps: realtime multiplayer, CN SSO defaults. Read the honest list above before committing.

How much does Shimo / 石墨文档 cost?

Shimo / 石墨文档 costs about $8/month (Team, checked 2026-08-05), which is $96 per year.

What do I lose by replacing Shimo / 石墨文档?

Honestly: realtime multiplayer; CN SSO defaults; mobile apps; template marketplace. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to Shimo / 石墨文档?

No mature open-source alternative worth pointing at — which is exactly why the one-shot prompt on this page exists.
