Common Questions
Q: What is the biggest difference between Confluence and Tettra?
A: Confluence is a full-scale enterprise wiki designed for large engineering teams inside the Atlassian ecosystem, with deep Jira integration, advanced AI via Rovo, and enterprise-grade compliance. Tettra is a simpler, Slack-first internal knowledge base aimed at small-to-medium teams that want lightweight documentation with AI-powered Q&A in Slack. Confluence scales to 150,000 users and offers SOC 2; Tettra is faster to set up and cheaper, but lacks audit logs, SOC 2, and enterprise security controls.
Q: Does Confluence or Tettra support external customer-facing documentation?
A: Neither tool supports external customer-facing documentation delivery in any meaningful way. Both are designed exclusively for internal team use. Neither offers custom domains, multi-tenant portals, white-label branding for client delivery, or embeddable help widgets for customer-facing products. If you need to publish documentation to customers or deliver knowledge bases to multiple external clients, you will need a different platform entirely.
Q: Which tool has better AI — Confluence's Rovo or Tettra's Kai?
A: Confluence's Rovo AI is significantly more capable — it includes 20+ pre-built agents, connects to 80+ external apps, supports cross-tool search across the Atlassian suite, and can generate release notes, OKRs, translations, and more. Tettra's Kai AI is focused specifically on answering team questions via Slack using your knowledge base as context. Rovo is a broader AI platform; Kai is a narrower but well-executed Slack Q&A tool. For pure internal Q&A in Slack, Kai is excellent; for comprehensive AI-assisted documentation workflows, Rovo wins.
Q: Is Tettra SOC 2 certified?
A: No. Tettra currently only publishes GDPR compliance and does not hold a SOC 2 certification. This is a meaningful limitation for enterprise buyers in regulated industries such as healthcare, finance, or legal services. Confluence holds SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and ISO 27001 certifications, making it the stronger choice for compliance-sensitive organizations comparing the two tools.
Q: Is there a better alternative to both Confluence and Tettra?
A: Yes — Docsie addresses the core limitations both tools share. Unlike Confluence and Tettra, Docsie converts any video (training recordings, screen captures, real-world footage) into structured documentation using multimodal AI, delivers documentation through multi-tenant branded portals to multiple external clients from one platform, includes a built-in LMS with course builder, quizzes, and certifications, supports 100+ language auto-translation, and provides real-time compliance monitoring for HIPAA, SOX, ITAR, and GDPR. It's built for teams that have outgrown internal-only wikis and need to operate documentation at enterprise scale across clients, languages, and compliance frameworks.
Q: How does pricing compare between Confluence and Tettra at scale?
A: Both tools use per-user pricing, but Tettra is cheaper — Basic starts at $4/user/month versus Confluence Standard at $5.42/user/month. However, costs diverge at the enterprise level — Confluence's Premium tier ($10.44/user/month) and Enterprise (custom, 801+ users) are substantially more expensive. Tettra's Professional plan at $12/user/month is needed for SSO and custom branding. Neither tool offers workspace-based flat pricing, so both become costly as headcount grows. Docsie's workspace-based pricing model ($199–$750/month for entire teams) can be significantly more cost-effective for organizations with 20+ documentation users.
Deep Dive
Confluence offers a mature content management system with unlimited page history, content reuse (macros and templates), hierarchical spaces, and a rich editor supporting tables, diagrams, and embeds. Tettra keeps things simpler — it provides clean wiki-style pages with basic history but no content reuse or snippet system. For teams that need structured, cross-linked documentation at scale, Confluence wins on depth. For teams that want a quick, low-friction internal wiki without the Atlassian overhead, Tettra's simplicity is a genuine advantage. Neither tool supports importing video content or building external knowledge portals.
Confluence's Rovo AI is significantly more powerful — included on all paid plans, it connects to 80+ external apps, offers 20+ pre-built agents for tasks like release notes and OKR generation, and enables cross-tool search across the entire Atlassian ecosystem. Tettra's Kai AI is narrower in scope, focused primarily on answering team questions via Slack using the knowledge base as its source. Kai is effective for Q&A workflows but doesn't generate, translate, or restructure content the way Rovo can. Teams already on Atlassian tools will find Rovo substantially more capable; Slack-heavy teams will appreciate Kai's simplicity and direct integration.
Confluence holds a clear advantage for regulated organizations — SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, ISO 27001, role-based access controls, audit logs, SAML SSO (Standard plan+), and uptime SLAs starting at Premium. The Enterprise tier supports multiple identity providers and advanced encryption. Tettra provides GDPR compliance and role-based access but lacks SOC 2 certification, audit logs, and published uptime SLAs. SSO (SAML) is only available on the most expensive Professional plan. For industries where compliance certifications are required — healthcare, finance, legal — Confluence's security posture is substantially stronger than Tettra's.
Confluence's integration story is built around the Atlassian ecosystem — native Jira, Trello, and Bitbucket connectivity, plus 80+ additional connectors via Rovo AI. Teams not on Atlassian miss out on this core value proposition. Tettra's integration story centers on Slack — its Kai AI brings knowledge base answers directly into team conversations, which is genuinely useful for distributed teams. Tettra also connects with Google Docs, Notion, Zapier, and GitHub. If your team runs on Jira, Confluence is the obvious integration winner. If your team lives in Slack and uses Google Workspace, Tettra's simpler ecosystem may be a better fit at lower cost and complexity.
