Transparency alternatives to Shelf
Other Knowledge base and wiki vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Shelf. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 42 that differ from Shelf on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Shelf has 7 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Public pricing, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change. The column “Found there, not found at Shelf” is the one that closes them.
