| Pricing | Not published · free tier: Free-to-start path exists via cloud.onyx.app signup; open-source self-host build available at no stated price | 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 | Freemium / Subscription (details unverified) | Subscription (per-seat), with a free tier |
| Best for | Engineering-resourced teams that want an AI knowledge interface over their existing tools, need to control their own LLM choice, and have a compliance or cost reason to self-host instead of buying Glean-class SaaS. | 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 want an authored, structured wiki, have no DevOps capacity for a self-hosted deployment, or need published per-seat pricing and verified peer reviews before you commit. | 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.
