Nuclino vs Slite

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

Slite

• Teams that want an internal knowledge base with owned, verified docs
• Companies that want cited AI answers drawn from their own documentation
• Remote teams documenting handbooks, processes and runbooks

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.

Slite

• There is no free plan: after the 14-day trial, a paid subscription is needed to keep using the workspace.
• The pricing page shows yearly-billed prices only; a monthly plan exists, but its price is not published there.
• The Slite Agent, search across connected tools, OpenID SSO and custom domains for public docs need Pro at $20 per user / month.
• Basic limits each member to 30 AI questions and 30 AI edits a month, 5 GB of storage and 200 MB file uploads.

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.

Slite

Collaborative editor

A real-time editor with comments, mentions, custom templates, recurring scheduled docs and doc history. Docs can be exported as PDF, Markdown or HTML.

Doc verification and ownership

Each doc can have an owner and a verification status, and the Knowledge Management Panel lets admins review and act on many docs at once.

Ask: AI search and answers

Answers questions with cited sources. Basic searches Slite docs with 30 questions per member a month; Pro and Enterprise search connected tools with 100 per member.

Slite Agent

On Pro and Enterprise, an agent watches connected tools, drafts updates to out-of-date docs and routes them to a person for approval. It draws on pooled credits, 50 per seat a month.

MCP and public API

Every plan includes a public API and an MCP server, so assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can search, read and edit docs under the user's permissions.

Public docs

Docs can be shared publicly on every plan, with AI answers for readers. Search-engine indexing, custom branding and a custom domain for public docs start on Pro.
