Kanka vs Nectory

Kanka is a web-based worldbuilding service and RPG campaign manager for organizing ideas, creations, and campaign settings. It is intended for game masters, worldbuilders, players, writers, and content creators, and can be used with any tabletop RPG system or without one. Campaigns can organize material across about 20 categories, including characters, locations, items, quests, journals, calendars, events, and abilities; owners can disable categories they do not need. Members can receive roles that control what they can see and do, and owners can preview a campaign from a member’s perspective. Worldbuilding tools include linked relations, timelines, custom calendars, layered interactive maps, and a rich-text editor with @mentions. The REST API is available to all accounts and can support scripts, backups, bots, dashboards, VTT integrations, and data synchronization. Kanka has a free plan and annual paid plans from $4.16/mo. It can also be self-hosted, though premium features are unavailable there and the team does not provide self-hosting support. There is no dedicated mobile app, but the interface adapts to smaller screens.

Nectory is a documentation platform for Minecraft servers, Roblox games, and other game creators. Its block editor supports headings, callouts, tables, code blocks, and images, with drag-and-drop content organization. Teams can publish searchable wiki spaces, assign roles such as owner, admin, editor, contributor, and viewer, or keep private spaces behind authentication with fine-grained access controls. Full-text search spans pages within a space. Nectory supports Discord webhook notifications and generic signed JSON webhooks for HTTP endpoints. Public pages can collect helpfulness ratings, optional reader feedback, and threaded comments. Themes include fourteen presets and controls for colors, fonts, layout, and content density; Pro adds custom CSS and custom domains. The free plan includes one wiki space, three team members, 1 GB storage, public wikis, search, and a draft-and-publish workflow. Pro costs $4.99 a month, or $49.99 per year, and includes 25 spaces, unlimited members, and 5 GB storage.
