FAQ
What does the feature matrix show?
A comparison of verified criteria between PaperOffice and selected DMS/IDP vendors. Unverified cells stay “n/a”.
Why are some cells “n/a”?
Only verifiable facts are listed. Without a public source, the cell stays marked empty.
What does MCP-native mean?
PaperOffice exposes capabilities natively via the Model Context Protocol — not only as a REST afterthought.
How does PaperOffice differ on pricing?
Per-page/credit model instead of seat-only — see the matrix and pricing page.
Is the matrix promotional?
It lists criteria and source logic; marketing claims without evidence are avoided.
Where are individual alternative pages?
Under /alternatives/ and the linked vs. pages for individual competitors.
Can integrators use the matrix?
Yes — as decision support for API/MCP and hosting criteria.
How current is the comparison?
Criteria are maintained; when competitor facts change, cells are updated or set to “n/a”.
Does the matrix replace an RFP?
No. It is orientation, not legal or procurement advice.
What is the MCP-native AI-DMS in this comparison?
PaperOffice as an AI-DMS with a native MCP layer, EU hosting and API-first architecture.
