Common Questions

Clueso vs Scribe: Enterprise FAQ

Enterprise Security & Compliance

Q: Does Clueso support SSO for enterprise identity management?

A: No. Clueso does not offer SSO on any published plan, including its Enterprise tier listing. This is a significant gap for enterprise IT departments that require centralized identity management through identity providers like Okta, Azure AD, or Google Workspace. Organizations with SSO requirements should evaluate alternatives before committing to Clueso.

Q: Does Scribe support HIPAA compliance for healthcare organizations?

A: Scribe offers HIPAA support at the Enterprise tier through AI PII/PHI redaction, which automatically identifies and masks sensitive health information in captured screenshots. However, this feature is exclusive to Enterprise contracts, which are reported to start around $18,000 per year. Organizations should verify specific Business Associate Agreement (BAA) availability directly with Scribe before assuming full HIPAA compliance.

Q: Do either Clueso or Scribe provide audit logs for compliance requirements?

A: Neither Clueso nor Scribe offers audit logs on any published plan. Audit logs — which record who accessed, created, modified, or deleted content and when — are a standard requirement in financial services, healthcare, government, and other regulated industries. This shared gap is a meaningful limitation for enterprise compliance audits and should be factored into procurement decisions.

Making the Right Enterprise Choice

Q: Which tool has better enterprise pricing for large teams?

A: Clueso's workspace-based pricing avoids per-seat inflation, making it more cost-predictable for large content teams — though strict export minute limits on lower tiers create operational constraints. Scribe's per-seat model ($15/seat minimum 5 seats) scales linearly but becomes very expensive at enterprise scale, with reported Enterprise contracts starting around $18,000 per year. Neither publishes transparent enterprise pricing, so both require custom negotiation for large deployments.

Q: Can Scribe or Clueso deliver documentation to multiple client organizations?

A: Neither Scribe nor Clueso supports multi-tenant portal delivery. Both tools are designed for single-organization use — Scribe is explicitly internal-only, and Clueso publishes to a single knowledge base without client-specific portal isolation. Organizations that need to deliver branded documentation to multiple external clients simultaneously will find both tools insufficient for that use case.

Q: Is there a better enterprise alternative to both Clueso and Scribe?

A: Yes — Docsie is purpose-built for enterprise knowledge management at scale and addresses the critical gaps both tools share. Docsie provides full SSO (SAML, OAuth, OIDC, Azure AD, Okta), audit logs, granular RBAC, data residency, a 99.9% uptime SLA, multi-tenant portals for client delivery, API access, version control, and real-time compliance monitoring for HIPAA, SOX, ITAR, and GDPR — all on private infrastructure with air-gap deployment options. It also converts any video type (not just screen recordings) into structured documentation, adding content creation capabilities that neither Clueso nor Scribe can fully replace.

Deep Dive

How Clueso and Scribe Compare in Detail

Security & Compliance

Clueso holds both SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications — a stronger dual compliance posture than Scribe, which only maintains SOC 2 and GDPR. However, Scribe's Enterprise tier adds meaningful healthcare and finance protections through AI PII/PHI redaction and HIPAA support — features entirely absent from Clueso. Both tools lack audit logs and data residency options, which are standard requirements in heavily regulated industries. For organizations in healthcare or finance, Scribe's PHI redaction provides a meaningful compliance advantage despite its higher entry cost. For ISO 27001-required environments, Clueso edges ahead. Neither tool provides the comprehensive compliance monitoring that regulated enterprises typically demand.

Scalability & Performance

Scribe scales more predictably for large internal teams, with per-seat pricing ($15/seat) that grows linearly and enterprise controls like SCIM to automate user provisioning. However, its $18,000+ annual enterprise floor and per-user cost model make it expensive for organizations exceeding 100 users. Clueso's workspace-based pricing with custom export volumes on Enterprise avoids per-seat inflation, but its strict export minute limits on lower tiers (6 hours per year reported) create real operational bottlenecks. Neither tool supports multi-tenant delivery at scale, and both lack API access for programmatic content management — a critical gap for enterprises building automated documentation pipelines.

Administration & Control

Scribe holds a clear advantage in administration and identity management. SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, IP whitelisting, role-based access control, and approval workflows give IT administrators meaningful control over user lifecycle, content governance, and network security. Clueso provides essentially no administrative controls on any published plan — no SSO, no RBAC, no IP whitelisting, and no approval workflows. This is a significant gap for enterprise IT departments that require centralized identity management and content governance. Both tools lack audit logs, which means neither can meet audit trail requirements common in financial services, healthcare, or government procurement contexts.

Support & SLA

Both Clueso and Scribe offer dedicated support and enterprise SLAs exclusively on their custom Enterprise plans — neither publishes specific uptime guarantees or response time commitments on standard plans. Clueso includes Slack and Teams support channels at the Enterprise tier, which some IT teams find convenient for rapid escalation. Scribe's enterprise support is delivered through a dedicated customer success model with reported enterprise contract minimums starting around $18,000 annually. Neither tool provides self-service SLA dashboards, public status pages with SLA commitments, or the kind of transparent uptime reporting (e.g., 99.9% with financial penalties) that enterprise procurement teams typically require in vendor contracts.
