Pricing

From 249 EUR per month

Larger wikis need more infrastructure, and add-ons are priced with your quote. Standard hosting terms and the Enterprise option are on the hosting page.

Add-ons

Priced separately, on top of your plan.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Your users log in with Microsoft, Google, Okta, or another OpenID Connect identity provider.

Backups to your own storage

A copy of your encrypted backups goes to storage you control.

AI and integration

Both are add-ons. Nothing AI-related runs on your wiki unless you order it.

Migrating an existing wiki

We move MediaWiki wikis from other hosting providers and from your own servers, so pages, history and accounts stay as they are. A standard migration takes about three business days.
