Nuclino vs Papyrs

Nuclino

• Small teams that want a simple wiki with little setup
• Keeping docs, light project boards and diagrams in one tool
• Mixed-platform teams: desktop apps cover Windows, macOS and Linux

Papyrs

• Companies that want an intranet at a flat price instead of a per-user fee
• Non-technical staff building intranet pages by drag and drop
• Sharing a section of the wiki with clients as a portal

Nuclino

• The Free plan stops at 50 items, 3 canvases and 2 GB of total storage, and its plan table lists no version history.
• Every user is billed, including guests and read-only members, and upgrading moves the whole team to the paid plan.
• Sidekick AI, SAML single sign-on, the audit log and custom publishing domains are limited to the Business plan.
• Starter keeps 30 days of version history; unlimited history needs Business.

Papyrs

• The free Personal Wiki is for one user with two subsites and 1GB of storage; the smallest paid plan is $89 a month billed annually.
• Everyone who can log in counts as a user, including read-only viewers and guests, against limits of 20, 40, 60 or 120 users.
• A custom domain and SAML need Company Wiki, and form, calendar and video widgets need Company Intranet at $899 a month.
• There are no native apps: mobile access is through iOS and Android web apps (PWAs). EU and UK customers are billed in euros.

Nuclino

Collaborative items

Each item is a document that the team edits in real time, with room for notes, assigned tasks, flowcharts and embedded files. Hotkeys, slash commands and Markdown are supported.

List, board, table and graph views

The same workspace can be shown as a list for docs, a board for projects and tasks, a table that sorts and filters, or a graph for exploring how knowledge connects.

Canvas

An infinite canvas for whiteboards and diagrams can be added anywhere in a workspace. The Free plan allows up to 3 canvases; paid plans have no limit.

Sidekick AI

Answers questions from the team's own content, drafts and summarizes text, extracts action items and generates images. Sidekick is part of the Business plan.

Publishing

A workspace can be published as a website that search engines can find. Publishing starts on Starter, and a custom domain needs Business.

API and MCP server

An API is included on every plan, and an MCP server connects assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor to the team's content.

Papyrs

Drag-and-drop page editor

Pages are built by dropping in widgets for text, files, checklists, polls, tables, videos and embeds. A Markdown mode and a keyboard command palette are there for people who prefer typing.

Subsites and permissions

Each subsite is a separate workspace with its own pages, menu bar, access and notification settings, used to organize content by topic, project or team.

Search and version history

Search covers pages, files, discussions and forms. Page and file versions can be compared and rolled back for the last 120 days, or without a time limit on Company Intranet.

Forms and database views

Form field widgets collect data and requests, and records can be listed, filtered, shown on a calendar and exported to CSV. These widgets are part of the Company Intranet plan.

Client portal

Sections can be shared with external people to run a client or community portal, with permission settings limiting what each person sees.

Single sign-on and API

People can log in with Google Workspace, Slack or Microsoft accounts, SAML starts on Company Wiki, and an API and Zapier connect Papyrs to other tools.
