| Pricing | USD $100/month (Basic: 1,000 articles, 1 author, 1 knowledge base, unlimited readers, 100 AI credits) · free tier: None — no free version; 30-day free trial with no credit card required, extendable for free | 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 |
| Pricing model | Subscription | Subscription (per-seat), with a free tier |
| Best for | Small-to-mid documentation or support teams of roughly 1-10 authors publishing a heavily branded public help centre or permissioned internal KB to a large reader population, who value responsive human support, included migration and HIPAA/GDPR agreements over the lowest sticker price — nonprofits and B Corps get a further 25% off. | 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. |
| Avoid if | You need a free or sub-$50 plan, have many casual or occasional authors (per-author fees compound fast), maintain a very large documentation estate on a lower tier due to the article caps, depend on heavy AI-assistant usage against low credit ceilings, or require customisation beyond CSS/HTML theming. | 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. |

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.
