SharePoint Alternative: Hub For Teams
A SharePoint alternative for teams that want shared document libraries without a Microsoft 365 tenant to administer — files, business email, an office suite, chat and projects in one workspace on U.S. servers we own. Compare the plans below.
And What Hub For Teams Does Instead
It Arrives With A Tenant To Run
SharePoint comes inside Microsoft 365, and somebody has to manage sites, groups, sharing links, retention and licences. In a small business that somebody is usually the owner.
Permissions That Sprawl
Site collections, inherited permissions and one-off sharing links multiply until nobody can answer who can see a document.
Bundled Pricing You Cannot Unbundle
Microsoft 365 Business Basic lists at $7.00 per user a month and Business Standard with Copilot at $23.50. You take the bundle Microsoft ships this year.
AI You Did Not Ask For
Copilot is now bundled into the Standard and Premium tiers. If you would rather your documents were not near an AI assistant, that is a setting you have to manage.
One Workspace, 20+ Apps
Files, email, calendar, an office suite, chat, video and projects together, so there is one login, one console and one bill.
Set Up For You, Not By You
We create the shared folders, the permissions and the mailboxes with you. There is no tenant, no site collection and no licensing portal to learn.
U.S.-Only, Never Used For AI
Your documents and messages stay on U.S. servers LiberationTek owns and are never sold, shared or used to train AI models.
Private Cloud At 10+ Users
Teams of 10 or more get their own private cloud environment at the same per-user price.
Document Sharing Without A Tenant To Administer
Hub for Teams gives every user a mailbox and file storage — 5 GB on Teams Starter, 15 GB on Teams+, 25 GB on Teams+ Talk — with shared folders, an office suite for documents, spreadsheets and presentations, and calendars. For most small organisations that is the whole of what SharePoint was bought for, which is why a SharePoint alternative usually wins on the admin burden rather than the feature list.
Hub For Teams vs. SharePoint
How Hub for Teams compares with SharePoint as it is sold, inside Microsoft 365. Microsoft prices are list prices from Microsoft’s own comparison page in September 2026 and may change.
Features |  | SharePoint / Microsoft 365 |
|---|---|---|
Entry business plan | $7.49/user/mo (Teams Starter, 5 GB mail + 5 GB files) | $7.00/user/mo annual (Microsoft 365 Business Basic) |
Upper business plan | $14.95/user/mo (Teams+ Talk, adds video) | $23.50/user/mo annual (Business Standard with Copilot) |
Storage | 5–25 GB per user by plan | 1 TB per user, plus pooled SharePoint storage |
Business email | Included | Included from Business Basic |
Office suite | Included | Web apps on Basic; desktop apps from Standard |
Team chat and video | Chat from Teams+, video on Teams+ Talk | Microsoft Teams included |
Project management | Built in from Teams+ | Planner and Project sold separately |
Administration | One console; folders and permissions set up with you | Tenant, site collections, sharing links, retention and licensing |
Your data and AI | Never sold, shared or used to train AI | Copilot bundled into Standard and Premium; review Microsoft’s terms |
Where data is stored | U.S. only, on LiberationTek-owned servers | Microsoft’s cloud |
Dedicated private cloud | Included at 10+ users | Shared multi-tenant service |
Company | Independent, U.S.-owned and operated | Microsoft Corporation |
The Licence Is Not The Only Cost
Microsoft 365 Business Basic lists at $7.00 per user a month and Business Standard with Copilot at $23.50. On top of that, someone has to run the tenant, the site permissions, the retention policies and the licence renewals. A SharePoint alternative that we set up and support removes that job.

SharePoint Alternative FAQs
For a small organisation that mainly needs shared document libraries, Hub for Teams covers files, business email, an office suite, calendars, chat and projects in one workspace, with no tenant to administer. It runs only on U.S. servers LiberationTek owns and starts at $7.49 per user a month.
Not always on the licence line: Microsoft 365 Business Basic lists at $7.00 per user a month against $7.49 for Teams Starter. The saving is in administration and in not buying a bundle you cannot unbundle.
Yes. Libraries become shared folders with the permissions rebuilt in plain terms, and the documents are uploaded with their structure intact. Moving to this SharePoint alternative is something we do with you rather than hand you a guide for.
No. The office suite opens and saves the common document, spreadsheet and presentation formats, and anyone who needs the desktop Office apps can keep them.
Hub for Teams includes workflows and a project manager from Teams+. If you rely on complex SharePoint site customisation, tell us what it does before you move — we will say honestly if this SharePoint alternative fits.
On servers LiberationTek owns and operates in the United States. Documents kept in our SharePoint alternative are never sold, shared or used to train AI models.
