Hoodik vs Plient

Hoodik is encrypted cloud storage that encrypts files on a device before upload. Starter includes 100 GB and Plus includes 500 GB, and both plans allow unlimited users. Users can share files and folders with view or edit permissions and collaborate on markdown notes with version history. Hoodik hashes filenames and search queries on the device, so the server compares fingerprints rather than the words. Its maker says file keys are wrapped using X25519 and ML-KEM-768 and do not reach its servers. Cloud customers can choose EU or US storage regions; the maker says its object storage is designed for 99.999999999% annual durability. Free native apps are available for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android, while Windows and Linux users are directed to the web app. Hoodik can also be run with its Docker guide on a home server, Raspberry Pi, NAS, or Linux machine, using S3-compatible storage such as Backblaze B2, Wasabi, AWS S3, or MinIO. On macOS, a local MCP server offers 13 file and note tools to AI clients including Claude Desktop and Cursor. That feature serves the account active and unlocked in the app. Cloud customers can export an archive with a runnable Hoodik copy and encrypted data. Self-hosting is free; cloud plans start at €9/mo.

Plient is an encrypted file storage and collaboration platform with browser-based office editing, WebDAV, a command-line interface, and an app marketplace. Files are encrypted on the user's device with AES-256-GCM before upload. Its zero-knowledge model derives the master key on that device from a password and salt, and the key is not sent to the server. Collaboration features include shared drives, granular permissions, password-protected links with expiry, and file requests. In the browser, users can co-edit.docx,.xlsx, and.pptx files in real time, with comments, suggestions, and version history. The marketplace lists Google Workspace, OnlyOffice, iDrive E2, Backblaze B2, and AWS S3. The CLI supports file transfers, syncing, and management from scripts and CI pipelines. WebDAV mounting is available on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Plient can be used as managed cloud software or self-hosted with Docker. The Free plan provides 5 GB of encrypted storage for one user; Pro costs $9 a month and Business costs $25 per user / month.
