Assign SOPs to team members, set priorities and due dates, and track completion — so repeatable work gets done the same way every time.
IPAM, rack management, and website monitoring included
Dedicated tools for networks, subnets, VLANs, server racks, and website uptime — built in because when documentation is the whole product, you go deeper.
AI documentation assistant included in every plan
Hudini helps your team write, search, and surface documentation faster — included in every plan, no upgrade required.
Self-hosted at no extra cost
Prefer to keep your data on your own infrastructure? Hudu's self-hosted option is the same price as cloud — no premium for control.
Transparent, flat-rate pricing
Published pricing ($27/user/month, annually), all-inclusive, no custom quote required. Know what you're paying before you talk to anyone.
Independently owned, actively developed
Independently owned, public roadmap, and a consistent release history. No acquisitions, no shifting priorities — just a focused team improving IT documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Hudu covers everything Passportal does — password management, IT documentation, and multi-client structure — and adds process management, IPAM, rack management, network discovery, and website monitoring. It also offers a self-hosted option, which Passportal doesn't.
Hudu is $27 per user per month billed annually — published, all-inclusive, no custom quote required. Passportal's pricing isn't publicly listed and requires a conversation with their sales team. The trial is also self-serve with Hudu, so you can get started and evaluate it without talking to anyone first.
Yes, and more. Hudu covers everything you'd expect for IT documentation — knowledge base, asset tracking, templates, version history, relationship mapping, and search — plus features Passportal doesn't include, like process management with assignees and due dates, IPAM, rack management, website monitoring, and an AI assistant. For password management, both platforms have a built-in encrypted vault, TOTP, role-based access, and audit logs.
Yes. Hudu offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. The trial is fully functional and available for both cloud-hosted and self-hosted deployments — you can test it with your real data before making any decisions.
Yes. Hudu supports both cloud-hosted and self-hosted deployment at the same price.
Yes. There's a community-built migration script that handles moving your Passportal documentation into Hudu, and our migration team works with you directly to plan the move and make sure nothing gets left behind.
The migration covers your core documentation — KB articles, assets, and passwords. If there are edge cases or data that needs special handling, the migration process accounts for that so the move is as complete and clean as possible. Our team can walk you through exactly what to expect before you commit to anything.
Both options are available. The community migration script lets you run the move yourself, and our migration team is available to assist — whether that means walking you through it, handling it directly, or somewhere in between. The goal is to make the transition manageable and low-risk.
It depends on the volume and complexity of your data. In many cases documentation can be moved and usable in Hudu quickly, and most teams can plan the transition without major disruption to day-to-day work. Our migration team can scope it out with you before you start.
No. The 14-day free trial has no credit card requirement and no commitment. If the migration needs adjusting, data can be reviewed, reset, and rerun rather than forcing a bad import to stick.
