A side-by-side editorial comparison of Markup.io and Wiki.js — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Markup.io vs Wiki.js: at a glance
What is Markup.io?
Markup.io's feed has been silent since November 2024 — roughly 18 months dark, no releases visible.
All 10 visible entries are blog posts from July through November 2024 covering design review, creative approval, video annotation, and content workflow topics. Nothing has been published to this feed in roughly 18 months. There are no product release notes anywhere in the visible history — only marketing content from before the publishing pause.
What is Wiki.js?
Wiki.js 3 beta.672 adds inline math and personal access tokens, and raises the floor to Postgres 17.
Wiki.js 3 is still labelled beta and not for production; v2.x gets only security patches. The v3 betas have built up enterprise identity, Excalidraw with live collaboration, blog pages, a v2 import path, notifications and a glossary. beta.672 adds inline KaTeX/MathJax, personal access tokens, page colours and search-header suggestions, and makes PostgreSQL 17 the minimum database version.

Markup.io
0.0COLLAB
Markup.io's feed has been silent since November 2024 — roughly 18 months dark, no releases visible.
◆ Current state
All 10 visible entries are blog posts from July through November 2024 covering design review, creative approval, video annotation, and content workflow topics. Nothing has been published to this feed in roughly 18 months. There are no product release notes anywhere in the visible history — only marketing content from before the publishing pause.
◆ Where it's heading
The publishing pause coincides with what looks like a company or product transition; Markup.io was a video and design markup tool whose public surface has gone fully dormant. With no releases or even marketing content shipping, the product's public signal is effectively zero through this channel. Either communication has moved to private channels or the product itself has wound down.
◆ Prediction
Without a fresh entry, Markup.io is a candidate for archival or repositioning rather than active monitoring; expect no editorial signal unless the product is reactivated.
Wiki.js
7.5COLLAB
Wiki.js 3 beta.672 adds inline math and personal access tokens, and raises the floor to Postgres 17.
◆ Current state
Wiki.js 3 is still labelled beta and not for production; v2.x gets only security patches. The v3 betas have built up enterprise identity, Excalidraw with live collaboration, blog pages, a v2 import path, notifications and a glossary. beta.672 adds inline KaTeX/MathJax, personal access tokens, page colours and search-header suggestions, and makes PostgreSQL 17 the minimum database version.
◆ Where it's heading
The feature set is in place and recent betas split between editor polish and operational hardening: draft recovery, multi-replica git sync, and now API access rules and a newer database floor. Tightening API keys to page rules and dropping the X-API-Key header shows the API surface being settled before a stable release. Betas keep landing every two to five days.
◆ Prediction
More betas on editor ergonomics and API/permission cleanup are the likely next step. The entries still give no date for a release candidate.
