Confluence
Docsie
Confluence is a solid internal wiki for teams that live in Jira. Teams usually look elsewhere when they need to keep running their own servers after Data Center ends, or publish documentation to customers instead of only to staff. Here is what Confluence costs today, where it stops, and which alternative fits. If you switch to Docsie, we move your Confluence content over for you.
The best Confluence alternative depends on why you are leaving. If you need to keep your knowledge base on your own servers after Data Center, or publish docs to customers on your own domain, pick Docsie. For a flexible all-in-one team workspace, pick Notion. For a dedicated customer help center with deep analytics, pick Document360.
Pricing
Confluence and Notion charge per user. Docsie plans include a set number of seats, a knowledge base on your own domain and unlimited viewers on public portals. Prices checked 2026-11-15 on each vendor's own pricing page (Confluence: www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/pricing; Notion: www.notion.com/pricing) and docsie.io/pricing.
What a 15-person team pays
As of November 2026, Confluence Standard for 15 people is about $107 a month on monthly billing (15 × $7.15), and SAML SSO adds an Atlassian Guard subscription. Notion Business is $300 a month billed yearly (15 × $20). Docsie Premium is $170 a month billed yearly for 15 seats and includes unlimited portals on your own domains, AI chatbots on your docs, version control and 100+ languages. Docsie Business ($249 a month billed yearly, 40 seats) adds the Confluence connector.
Recommendation: If you want an internal wiki next to Jira and nothing more, Confluence Standard is the cheaper tool. If your docs have to reach customers, partners or field teams, or have to run on your own infrastructure after Data Center, compare against Docsie Business or Enterprise.

Try It on Your Own Video
Upload a screen recording or a video of a real task. Docsie writes the steps, pulls the screenshots out of the video, and gives you an article you can edit, publish to your knowledge base, or export to Word or PDF.
