A StackOverflow for Teams alternative
Talkyard and StackOverflow have partly overlapping features. You might want to use SO instead of Ty, or Ty instead of SO.
I'd summarize the differences by saying Talkyard is more focused on discussions, which can be larger and open-ended, whilst StackOverflow has content and users analytics, more enterprise integrations and better support and uptime guarantees.
Below, €3 means that the feature on that row,
is included in Talkyard's €3 price plan
(that is, €3 per active employee and month).
And 0 (zero), in StackOverflow's column,
means that the feature is free at StackOverflow, for up to 50 users. - means
a feature is missing.
Probably there's some error in the table below, or will be, as time goes by — this was last updated in April 2022.
