Nuclino vs Slite

Nuclino and Slite both serve internal teams, but they bet on different habits. Nuclino keeps a permanent free plan capped at 50 items and a shallow page-and-link structure, while Slite has no free plan at all and offers a 14-day trial before every user is billed. Slite publishes Basic at $10 and Pro at $20 per user per month, and the Nuclino pages we fetched give no amounts. Nuclino is run by a German GmbH, and Slite names a San Francisco controller with a Paris contact for the EEA.

Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.

Both are reviewed in full in our knowledge base ranking: Nuclino and Slite.

1. 01

   What happens after day fourteen

   Slite has no free plan. Its 14-day trial needs no credit card and includes 500 shared credits, and afterwards a workspace admin must buy a paid plan. Nuclino runs the other way, with a Free plan that never expires and a Starter plan that also carries its own 14-day trial, also card-free. A small team that wants to keep a wiki at zero cost can do it only with Nuclino, which makes it the better starting point for tight budgets.

   Fifty items against unlimited docs

   Nuclino's Free plan stops at 50 items and 3 canvases, with 2 GB of total storage. Starter lifts items and canvases to unlimited and gives 10 GB per user, and Business raises storage to 20 GB per user. Slite starts at unlimited docs on Basic with 5 GB per user and uploads up to 200 MB, while Pro moves to 10 GB per seat and drops the upload cap. Once a team outgrows 50 items, the comparison becomes a paid-for-paid one.

   Depends on the buyer

3. 03

   Dollar amounts you can actually read

   Slite shows Basic for $10 and Pro for $20 a seat each month on yearly billing, with Enterprise on request, though the page does not state a currency code. Nuclino bills per user per month, monthly or yearly, and says yearly billing saves up to 25%. In the text we fetched its prices did not render, so we record no amounts for Starter or Business. For a buyer who wants a figure to budget against, Slite is clearer on the page we read.

   Asking a question versus following a link

   Our data describes Slite as built around asking questions, with an Ask feature that is capped at 30 AI edits per user per month on Basic and 50 agent credits per seat on Pro. Pro also adds search across connected tools. Nuclino describes itself through the Sidekick AI, canvases, an API and MCP, templates and integrations, and its own notes admit search weakens once a workspace passes a few thousand items. For answer-style retrieval, Slite is the stronger design.

5. 05

   Stale pages and version history

   Slite lists a verification workflow and document owners on every plan, which gives a team a way to mark which pages are still true. Nuclino keeps 30 days of version history on Starter and unlimited history only on Business, and our notes say no scheduled review is listed, so old content can stay wrong without anyone seeing it. If the worry is last year's pages quietly going out of date, Slite handles that problem more directly than Nuclino does.

6. 06

   Which legal entity you sign with

   Nuclino GmbH is based in Grünwald, Germany, and its terms name the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. Slite's privacy policy gives no country of establishment. It names Slite, Inc. as controller with a mailing address in San Francisco, and gives a Paris address for EEA contact. Our category data lists Slite production data as hosted in the EU. For a buyer who wants the contracting party itself in Europe, the German entity is the simpler answer.

   Edge: Nuclino

Can a five-person team keep a Slite wiki without paying anything?

No, because Slite has no free plan and ends its trial after 14 days. After that a workspace admin has to buy a paid plan, from $10 a seat monthly on yearly billing.

A team of five that must stay at zero cost would have to look at Nuclino's Free plan, which allows up to 50 items.

Which one keeps older versions of a page for longer?

Nuclino keeps 30 days on Starter and unlimited history on Business. Slite's pricing page gives no version history figure. If long history matters, Nuclino's Business plan is the only one in this pair with a stated unlimited option.

Does either vendor say where its servers are?

Our category data says Slite hosts production data in the EU. Nuclino's pages give no hosting region or whether self-hosting is offered. Nuclino does state that its operator is a German GmbH, which is a statement about the company and not about the servers.
