Why teams choose Docmost over Nuclino
Full Data Sovereignty
Nuclino is cloud-only with no self-hosting option. Docmost lets you deploy on your own infrastructure so sensitive company knowledge stays within your network and meets compliance requirements.
Enterprise Security & Permissions
Docmost includes SSO, SAML, OIDC, and page-level permissions out of the box. Nuclino lacks page-level access controls and enterprise authentication options.
Open Source & No Lock-in
Docmost is fully open source. Your data is stored in standard PostgreSQL — no proprietary formats, no vendor lock-in, and no surprise pricing changes as your team grows.
