Both of these products promise to end the pile of subscriptions, and both ask you to move work into one place. They disagree about what belongs in it. Matilda centres on customers and product delivery: a CRM, sprints, docs, whiteboards, chat. Nautis centres on running a young company: fundraising, finance, sales, tasks and people.
Matilda Workspace, at matilda.io, describes itself as an all-in-one AI CRM workspace for B2B SaaS. We read its homepage, its agents article and its memory article in October 2026. Its information sits mostly on one long page, so a few details remain open, and we list them below.
What each one joins together
| Matilda app | What its page describes | Nearest in Nautis |
|---|---|---|
| Customers | Leads, CRM, email and calendar sync, pipelines, tickets, sequences, product signals | Leads CRM and Contacts. No product signals, tickets or sequences in the guides |
| Agents | Plain-English workflows with triggers, actions and review gates | Routines and Chief of Staff, with approvals |
| Projects | Sprints, roadmaps, issues, releases, links to Git commits | Task boards with Outcome and KPI tasks. No sprints or Git links in the guides |
| Docs | Co-editing, wiki, knowledge base, meeting notes | Notes, plus Docsign for signatures |
| Tables | Databases and custom objects, in sync with other apps | Sheets |
| Boards | Whiteboards, mind maps, flowcharts | Not covered in the guides |
| Chat | Channels and direct messages linked to records | Team chat |
| Automate | Multi-step, branching if-this-then-that flows | Automation rules in the Leads CRM, routines, connected apps |
Now the other direction. Matilda's pages don't list a fundraising CRM, investor readiness, a pitch deck analyzer, cap table, runway tracking, a financial planner, invoices, expenses, an employee directory, pay runs, recruitment, data rooms or document signing. Its template list does name Founders and HR, and a Startup OS pack, so you could shape some of this by hand. Nautis has these as built modules, and that difference is most of this comparison.
If you ship software, Matilda has a real advantage
Matilda's most interesting idea is keeping product work and customer work on one record. Git-linked projects update statuses as code merges. A customer record can hold its own projects, docs, boards and chat, and invited clients get guest access with limited rights. A support ticket can get a drafted reply from your knowledge base. Product signals can move a deal or start outreach.
For a 15-person B2B SaaS team, that removes real friction between engineering, sales and support. Nautis doesn't try to do this. It has no sprints or Git links in its guides, and its boards are built around outcomes and KPIs. Engineers would keep Linear or GitHub and connect them through the managed catalog.
It's worth asking your team how much they would actually move. Replacing Slack, Notion, Asana and a CRM at once is a big switch, and Matilda offers to migrate your first workspace for free.
Review gates and the Approval Center
Both vendors take the view that people should check AI's work. They place the check differently.
In Matilda, you add a review gate as a step in an agent's workflow: approve, edit or reject. It calls this human-in-the-loop by default. Its examples put the gate before an intro email, a support reply or a purchase order. Agents only see and do what the person who started them could. The builder decides where gates go, so it's flexible, and whoever builds the flow chooses where a person checks.
In Nautis, the check is a setting per capability. Owners and admins pick Ask every time or Run without asking in Agent Autonomy, with asking as the default, and deletes always ask. Requests collect in one Approval Center, showing the agent, the action and what would change. There are fewer ways to shape it, and also fewer ways to get it wrong. If you are weighing this up, read about human-in-the-loop agents.
Monday morning, side by side
Take a job both vendors describe: a weekly view of the business for a founder. Say you run a 12-person company and want it ready before your 10:00 leadership meeting.
Matilda's version
Its Founders template runs every Monday at 9:00. It pulls metrics, drafts a Weekly Business Review doc, stops for your review, then posts to a leadership channel. Its example covers revenue, pipeline, usage, support and cash, with proposed next actions. The result lives in Docs, and you can edit the template to fit. Its cash figures have to come from somewhere, though, so you would connect or enter them.
The Nautis version
A Weekly digest arrives on Monday mornings with no building, alongside the daily 7:00 am briefing. It draws on the modules you already use, so runway and overdue invoices appear because those records live there. You can adjust what it weights with the Priorities sliders, but it isn't a free-form document. Product usage and support tickets won't show up, because Nautis doesn't hold them.
The choice comes down to flexibility against readiness. A team with someone who enjoys building workflows will get more out of the first. A founder who won't touch a builder will get more out of the second.
What does each cost as you add people?
Matilda charges per user with monthly and annual prices. Nautis charges per plan. The figures are as of October 2026. Matilda's two-way toggle shows $36 monthly or $29 annually for Pro, and $98 or $78 for Plus.
| People | Matilda Pro | Matilda Plus | Nautis |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | $0 tier, 3 seats | $0 tier, 3 seats | Launch, $49 |
| 5 | $145 to $180 | $390 to $490 | Launch, $49 |
| 10 | $290 to $360 | $780 to $980 | Voyage, $99 |
| 25 | $725 to $900 | $1,950 to $2,450 | Fleet, $129 |
Matilda's $0 tier is generous for trying it: 3 seats, 250 AI actions, 250 automations and 250 enrichments a month, 1 GB of indexed knowledge, and all eight apps. Pro moves to 1,000 AI actions and automations per seat a month and adds team and customer spaces. Plus moves to 3,000 per seat. Its paid plans offer 14-day trials.
Nautis has no free tier. It offers a 14-day trial with no card, then $49, $99 or $129, and those flat prices have limits of their own. AI credits are 1,000, 2,000 and 2,600 a month across the whole company, far fewer per person than Matilda's per-seat allowance, though the two units aren't the same thing. Leads and investor deals are limited on Launch.
What Matilda's pages don't cover
- Plan names at sign-up. We read prices from the homepage table, where the Pro and Plus trial buttons each show the other plan's name, so check the plan name when you start.
- Hosting and security detail. The page we read lists single sign-on, SCIM, role-based access and custom retention on Enterprise, and doesn't mention hosting location. Ask if this matters, as you would with any vendor.
- Integrations. Its pages stress native apps, and name product data, Git and email. A list of outside connections wasn't on the pages we read.
- Reviews. We didn't rely on reviews for either product here. For anything you would move your whole company into, it's reasonable to ask any vendor for references.
Hold us to the same standard. Nautis is young as well, public only since July 2026, and little independent review exists. It also makes no security certification claims, so ask us the same questions.
Who should pick which
- Pick Matilda Workspace if you are a B2B SaaS team who want engineering, sales, support and docs on one record, and you have someone willing to set up agents. Its $0 tier makes this cheap to test.
- Pick Nautis if you are a founder or small team who are raising, watching runway, and running the back office yourselves. See Nautis for SaaS startups for how that plays out.
- Keep your current tools if your team is happy with Linear and Notion and the pain lives elsewhere. The tool consolidation playbook explains how to test whether a switch is worth it.
- Running both is hard to justify. Each one wants to be where work happens, and they overlap on tasks, notes, chat and pipeline. Pick one as home and use specialist tools for the rest.
FAQ
What is the main difference in Nautis vs Matilda Workspace?
Matilda joins customer and product work: a CRM, projects, docs, tables, boards and chat. Nautis joins a startup's company functions: fundraising, finance, sales, tasks and people. They overlap on a basic pipeline, tasks and chat, but each covers ground the other doesn't list.
How much does Matilda Workspace cost?
As of October 2026, its homepage shows a $0 tier with 3 seats, Pro at $36 monthly or $29 annually per user, Plus at $98 monthly or $78 annually per user, and Enterprise by quote. Paid plans list 14-day trials.
Does Matilda Workspace have fundraising or finance tools?
They weren't listed on the pages we read. It has a Startup OS template pack and a Founders workflow that can draft a weekly review with cash figures. Nautis has dedicated Fundraising CRM, cap table, runway and invoice modules.
Can agents act on their own in Matilda?
They can, based on triggers and conditions, and you add review gates where you want a person to approve. Matilda says agents can only see and do what the person who started them could. Nautis defaults capabilities to Ask every time, set by owners and admins.
