When is Microsoft SharePoint the better choice?
Teams that need Microsoft 365 as intranet and library — co-authoring in Word/Excel, Teams, lists as system of record — stay on SharePoint. That is collaboration, not an IDP archive.
When API-first, credits and MCP without a client or suite mandate matter, PaperOffice is the better fit.

Key differences
PaperOffice AI
- Document platform with API: result in the archive, one credit balance, hosted in the EU, MCP for AI agents.
Three decision axes
1
Microsoft SharePoint: result and record
Teams that need Microsoft 365 as intranet and library — co-authoring in Word/Excel, Teams, lists as system of record — stay on SharePoint. That is collaboration, not an IDP archive.
2
Microsoft SharePoint: contracts and credits
Microsoft SharePoint: this page does not invent list prices. PaperOffice bills credits — Basic 2¢, Premium 6¢, Ultra 20¢ per page, with public partner terms.
3
Microsoft SharePoint: data residency
SharePoint organises libraries; PaperOffice turns files into governed document operations. PaperOffice runs its own EU servers and files the result in an audit-proof way.

Migration in 3 steps
Import & Migration API — documented in llms-full.txt.
01
Inventory from Microsoft SharePoint
Prepare documents and metadata from Microsoft SharePoint for ZIP/scan-source import.
02
Import job in PaperOffice
Upload via the Import API and poll status — can run in parallel with Microsoft SharePoint.
03
Workflows & MCP
After cutting over from Microsoft SharePoint: connect HITL workflows and MCP on the same access path.
FAQ
Is PaperOffice a Microsoft SharePoint alternative?
Yes — when the need versus Microsoft SharePoint is capture, understanding, archive and action in one account, not a single step. The table above compares point by point.
What does PaperOffice cost compared to Microsoft SharePoint?
Basic 2¢, Premium 6¢, Ultra 20¢ per page — the price list is public. Microsoft SharePoint list prices appear only when documented; otherwise the table shows n/a.
What specifically sets Microsoft SharePoint apart from PaperOffice?
Microsoft SharePoint primarily solves the core job described on this page. PaperOffice keeps extraction, archive (WORM), permissions, HITL and MCP on the same document — with a public per-page price list.
How do I migrate from Microsoft SharePoint to PaperOffice?
From Microsoft SharePoint: prepare inventory as ZIP/scan source, start an import job, then workflows via REST and MCP. No mandatory partner project. llms-full.txt: Import & Migration.
Where is data processed — differently from Microsoft SharePoint?
On our own servers in the EU — including audit-proof filing and an audit trail. Where Microsoft SharePoint processes data is documented by the vendor.
Does switching from Microsoft SharePoint require a partner project?
Moving from Microsoft SharePoint typically starts with token + Import API — self-service instead of a mandatory project. Fastest with llms-full.txt.
