Nuclino vs Wikidot (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Nuclino if

• Fits if you're a small team that wants a wiki, boards and diagrams in one tool
• Works for mixed teams on Windows, macOS and Linux, since there's a desktop app for each

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you're staying free, because it's 50 items, 3 canvases and 2 GB in total, with no version history listed
• Pricey if you invite lots of guests, since guests and read-only members are billed like everyone else
• Watch out: upgrading moves the whole team to the paid plan, not just the people who need it
• Not for you if you need long version history on Starter, which keeps 30 days
• Skip it if you need Sidekick AI, SAML SSO, an audit log or a custom domain below Business at $10 a user

Pick Wikidot if

• Fits if you run a community wiki or hobby project on a tight budget
• Works for a small group that wants a private wiki for up to 5 members free

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: free accounts show ads you cannot control
• Tight if you want an API or custom layout, as both are paid
• Watch out: prices are in US dollars for customers outside the EU, and EU customers see euro prices with 23% VAT
• Watch out: Community Sites cannot be made private and are only for approved sites

Nuclino

• The Free plan stops at 50 items, 3 canvases and 2 GB of total storage, and its plan table lists no version history.

Wikidot

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.

Wikidot
