Nuclino vs Saga

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

Saga

• Small teams keeping notes, docs and tasks in one workspace
• Groups of up to 3 people who can stay on the free plan
• People who want an AI writing assistant inside their notes

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.

Saga

• There is no dedicated mobile app: Saga says it works in mobile browsers and that an app is on its roadmap.
• The Free plan stops at 3 members per workspace, 5,000 AI words a month, 7 days of version history and 250 MB of file storage.
• The Business plan, with AI search across tools and the web, is marked as coming soon and takes waitlist sign-ups only.
• Paid plans are charged per member for each workspace, and Saga AI on them is subject to a fair-usage policy.

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.

Saga

Pages for notes and docs

A block editor for notes and documents with tables, media embeds, equations and an autocomplete menu for blocks, links and mentions.

Automatic linking and references

Saga recognizes what you type and cross-references it with existing pages, and a references view shows the connections across the workspace.

Saga AI

An assistant inside pages and tasks that drafts, rewrites, summarizes, checks grammar, translates into more than 20 languages and answers questions about mentioned pages.

Tasks and kanban view

Tasks created inside notes take assignees, priorities and deadlines, and are collected into one table or a drag-and-drop kanban board.

Real-time collaboration

Members edit pages and tasks together as Admins, Editors or Viewers, and pages or whole workspaces can be made public by link.

Google Drive and Linear integrations

Search and edit information from Google Drive and Linear inside Saga, and open Drive files side by side with pages. Free allows one of the two integrations; Standard includes both.
