Common Questions

Confluence vs Dubble: FAQ

Comparing Features

Q: Can Dubble replace Confluence for internal documentation?

A: Not for most teams. Dubble creates individual step-by-step screenshot guides from browser recordings, but lacks the knowledge base structure, version control, approval workflows, and enterprise security that Confluence provides. Dubble is best suited for quick SOP creation by small teams, while Confluence is designed for large organizations maintaining comprehensive internal wikis. Teams needing both structured documentation and fast SOP creation typically use both tools together, with Dubble guides embedded or linked inside Confluence pages.

Q: Does Confluence have a browser extension like Dubble?

A: No. Confluence does not offer a browser extension for screen capture or guide creation. Dubble's Chrome extension is its core differentiator — it records browser actions and automatically generates step descriptions. Confluence content is created directly within the platform's editor or via integrations with tools like Loom, Jira, and Google Drive. If you need quick screen-capture-to-guide workflows, Dubble is the better fit; if you need a full documentation management system, Confluence wins.

Q: Which tool supports multi-language documentation?

A: Confluence offers limited multilingual support through Rovo AI agents that can handle translation tasks, but it does not have native auto-translation built into the platform. Dubble has no multilingual support whatsoever. Neither tool is suitable for teams needing systematic documentation across 10+ languages with consistent terminology preservation. For true multilingual documentation at scale, both fall short compared to purpose-built solutions.

Q: Is Dubble secure enough for enterprise use?

A: Dubble is GDPR compliant but lacks the enterprise security features most regulated organizations require — no SOC 2, no SSO, no audit logs, no role-based access control, and no data residency options. For small teams documenting internal browser workflows, this may be acceptable. However, any organization in healthcare, finance, legal, or government sectors should treat Dubble as unsuitable for enterprise security requirements and consider more compliant alternatives.

Making the Right Choice

Q: Is there a better alternative to both Confluence and Dubble?

A: Yes — Docsie addresses the core gaps both tools share. Unlike Confluence, Docsie supports multi-tenant client portals with custom branding and custom domains, making it suitable for external documentation delivery. Unlike Dubble, Docsie converts any video (training recordings, screen captures, real-world footage) into structured documentation and includes enterprise features like SSO, SOC 2 Type II, and audit logs. Docsie also adds a built-in LMS with certifications, 100+ language auto-translation, and autonomous agents — capabilities neither Confluence nor Dubble offer. It's a genuine end-to-end knowledge orchestration platform rather than a single-function tool.

Q: How does pricing compare between Confluence and Dubble?

A: Confluence charges $5.42/user/month (Standard) to $10.44/user/month (Premium) with a free tier for up to 10 users — costs scale linearly with headcount and have increased 5–8% annually. Dubble charges $12/user/month (Team, minimum 5 users) or $18/user/month (Pro). For a 50-person team, Confluence Standard would run approximately $271/month while Dubble Team would cost $600/month. Confluence is significantly cheaper at scale, but Dubble requires no Atlassian ecosystem commitment. Both use per-seat models that inflate costs as teams grow.

Deep Dive

How Confluence and Dubble Compare in Detail

Documentation Scope and Structure

Confluence provides a full wiki platform with hierarchical spaces, pages, and templates — ideal for building comprehensive internal knowledge bases across large organizations. It supports unlimited page history, content reuse, and approval workflows. Dubble operates at the opposite end of the spectrum, producing individual step-by-step guides from browser recordings without any overarching content structure or management system. Teams choosing Dubble get fast SOP creation; teams choosing Confluence get enterprise knowledge management. Neither offers the ability to convert pre-existing video content into structured documentation.

AI Capabilities and Automation

Confluence ships Rovo AI across all paid plans — 20+ pre-built agents for tasks like release note generation, OKR drafting, cross-tool search across 80+ app connectors, and an AI chat assistant. It's one of the most capable AI documentation assistants in the enterprise wiki category. Dubble uses AI primarily to auto-describe steps captured during screen recordings, which is useful but narrow. Neither tool can ingest an existing training video or recorded meeting and convert it into structured documentation — a significant gap for teams with large video libraries.

Collaboration and Team Workflows

Confluence excels at team collaboration with real-time co-editing, inline comments, mentions, task assignments, and structured review workflows. It's built for large cross-functional teams where multiple stakeholders contribute to and approve documentation. Dubble supports basic team workspaces and shared guide collections on Team plans, but lacks granular permissions, approval workflows, and change history tracking. For enterprise teams with compliance requirements around who approved what content and when, Confluence is the clear choice — but Dubble is simpler for small teams documenting browser workflows without governance overhead.

Enterprise Readiness and Security

Confluence is enterprise-hardened with SOC 2, GDPR, ISO 27001, SAML SSO with multiple IDPs, audit logs, role-based access control, and a 99.9% uptime SLA on Premium and above. It can scale to 150,000 users per site and supports advanced encryption and governance at the Enterprise tier. Dubble offers only GDPR compliance, with no SSO, no SOC 2, no audit logs, and no role-based access control — making it unsuitable for regulated industries or enterprises with security requirements. For any organization in healthcare, finance, or legal sectors, Dubble is not a viable enterprise documentation solution.
