| Pricing | Standard $5.16 per user (G2 block labelled "Pricing provided by Confluence"; billing period and currency not verified) · free tier: Free plan available; G2's vendor-supplied block lists it at 10 users | $19/agent/month, billed annually (Growth) · free tier: Free trial available ("Try it free" / "Start for free" on every plan); trial length not published. Page metadata mentions a "Free Program for 2 users" but no free plan appears in the live plan cards. |
| Pricing model | Subscription (per-seat), with a free tier | Subscription (per agent) with metered AI and automation add-ons |
| Best for | Organisations already running Jira that have a dedicated admin or documentation owner to enforce space naming, hierarchy and permission conventions, and that need governed, versioned, permissioned internal documentation — including regulated or large enterprises wanting self-hosted Data Center deployment. | Small-to-mid support teams (roughly 10-500 agents), especially email-first operations, that want a full ticketing, portal and knowledge-base stack at a low entry price and want to pilot AI deflection without a separate AI contract. |
| Avoid if | You are a small team with no dedicated admin, your primary requirement is fast forgiving search across a large corpus, you are Microsoft-centric, you want a lightweight minimal writing surface, or you are budgeting on headline seat price without modelling marketplace app spend. | You need routing, multiple SLA policies or custom dashboards on a tight budget (they force you to $55/agent), you run high AI volumes where metered sessions plus the $29 copilot inflate real cost, you require a published monthly price or a permanent free tier, or you must see documented compliance certification before purchase. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
