Decision

Switch to Northdocs if you need…

Permanent content-stream removal with a verification gate, faster identity review, and clearer EU hosting for public-sector procurement.

  • You do not trust black boxes alone
  • FOI/DSAR volume needs dossier-style review
  • You want transparent seat pricing under Cleardox list

Stay with Cleardox if…

Your team is already deeply embedded in Cleardox workflows, you have negotiated enterprise terms that beat our public pricing, or you need a Cleardox-specific integration we do not match yet. Honesty beats feature bingo.
