The knowledge-first alternative to Khoros
Khoros is now part of IgniteTech, and its direction is tilting toward automation and breadth. If your community exists to connect people with trusted experts and make knowledge findable, there is a platform built for exactly that job.

Two platforms. Two very different jobs.
Khoros is a broad enterprise suite spanning social, care and community. Zapnito does one thing: it powers expert-led knowledge sharing at scale. Here is what that difference looks like in practice.
Built for one job
A purpose-built knowledge community, with deep taxonomies, expert hubs and topic channels, so members always surface what they need.
One suite for everything
Community bolted onto a social-media and digital-care platform, so a focused knowledge hub means fighting features you don't need.
Run by your community team
Designed to be managed by community and knowledge professionals, with enterprise security and control and no engineering team on standby.
Developer-dependent
Implementation and ongoing customisation typically lean on significant engineering investment and technical resource.
A roadmap you can plan around
A single, focused product with a clear direction: knowledge sharing. What you buy is what keeps getting better.
Direction in flux
Following the IgniteTech acquisition, customers face open questions on product direction and long-term roadmap stability.
Experts at the centre
Expertise is a first-class concept: dedicated spaces where thought leaders share insight, lead discussion and build credibility.
A forum with a badge
Contribution and expertise are features among many, not the architecture the whole experience is built around.
A partner, not just a vendor
Strategic guidance is part of the offering: help structuring the community, building engagement and proving ROI to the business.
Strategy as an add-on
Strategic support tends to arrive as an expensive extra rather than something built into the relationship.
Migration is part of the deal
Content migration, integration and go-live support are handled with you as part of the partnership, not an afterthought.
Left to figure out
Complex platforms often leave the switch (content, integrations, onboarding) as a problem for your team to solve.

Outcomes, not just activity
Who moves to Zapnito
The right platform isn't the biggest one. It's the one built for the kind of knowledge sharing you actually need to do.
One branded destination
You want knowledge and community unified in a single home, not separate tools for docs, forums and learning.
Expert networks are your value
Internal SMEs, customer advocates or industry thought leaders are core to what you offer, and deserve a real home.
Community-led growth
You need knowledge sharing tied directly to retention, product adoption and advocacy, with analytics to prove it.
You've outgrown generic platforms
Tools not designed around knowledge-driven communities have started working against you rather than for you.
The practical questions, answered
Leaving Khoros raises fair questions. Here's how the move actually works.
