FreshRSS vs Wiki.js
A side-by-side editorial comparison of FreshRSS and Wiki.js — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
FreshRSS vs Wiki.js: at a glance
What is FreshRSS?
FreshRSS ships two security releases in a day for PHP CVEs and moves Docker to Debian 13.
FreshRSS has issued four 1.30.x security releases since the 1.30.0 change that blocked local network access by default. 1.30.3 and 1.30.4, both on Oct 21, patched severe PHP vulnerabilities in the official Docker images: Debian first, now on Debian 13 Trixie, then Alpine. The project points users who want faster patches to its rolling edge channel.
What is Wiki.js?
Wiki.js 3.0 beta ships an MCP server so AI agents can work against the wiki directly.
Wiki.js 3.0 is still a beta not meant for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, refined personal access token scopes, page lifecycle rules with page ownership, a feedback board where reviewers manage ideas, and link completion in the markdown editor. Recent betas added live notes, math, access tokens, SCIM and Excalidraw collaboration.

FreshRSS
5.0COLLAB
FreshRSS ships two security releases in a day for PHP CVEs and moves Docker to Debian 13.
◆ Current state
FreshRSS has issued four 1.30.x security releases since the 1.30.0 change that blocked local network access by default. 1.30.3 and 1.30.4, both on Oct 21, patched severe PHP vulnerabilities in the official Docker images: Debian first, now on Debian 13 Trixie, then Alpine. The project points users who want faster patches to its rolling edge channel.
◆ Where it's heading
The 1.30 line has become a security maintenance branch, and new features wait for the next major. The team is treating its Docker images as part of the product it must patch, not just the PHP code.
◆ Prediction
More 1.30.x point releases are likely as upstream PHP and base-image fixes land; new features probably arrive with 1.31.
Wiki.js
6.3COLLAB
Wiki.js 3.0 beta ships an MCP server so AI agents can work against the wiki directly.
◆ Current state
Wiki.js 3.0 is still a beta not meant for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, refined personal access token scopes, page lifecycle rules with page ownership, a feedback board where reviewers manage ideas, and link completion in the markdown editor. Recent betas added live notes, math, access tokens, SCIM and Excalidraw collaboration.
◆ Where it's heading
Each beta adds a piece that larger teams need: SSO and SCIM, governance through ownership and lifecycle rules, and now machine access through MCP and scoped tokens. 3.0 is becoming an AI-accessible knowledge base with enterprise controls rather than a straight successor to 2.x.
◆ Prediction
Expect MCP tools to be tied to the new PAT scopes and page rules, and the beta cadence to keep adding governance features before a release candidate.
