Who is CryptPad best for?

CryptPad is best for privacy-minded groups that need to co-edit documents and sheets without the host reading them.

  • Leaving Google Docs

    Rich text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, kanban boards, whiteboards and forms sit in one encrypted drive.

  • Sensitive group work

    Content is encrypted in your browser before it reaches the server, so even the instance's admins cannot read it.

  • An instance for your organisation

    XWiki runs managed instances with your own domain, logo, SSO and storage location, or supports one you host on-premise.

How much does CryptPad cost?

CryptPad is free to self-host and free on public instances, including 1GB on the flagship CryptPad.fr; paid CryptPad.fr plans run from €5 to €100 a month, and managed instances for organisations start at €3,000 a year.
