Confluence vs Saga

Confluence

• Teams that run Jira and want documentation linked to their issues
• Company wikis and intranets organized into spaces per team or project
• Small teams: the Free plan covers up to 10 users

Saga

• Small teams keeping notes, docs and tasks in one workspace
• Groups of up to 3 people who can stay on the free plan
• People who want an AI writing assistant inside their notes

Confluence

• The Free plan stops at 10 users and 2 GB of storage and has no space or page permission settings.
• The pricing page's default prices ($5.42 Standard, $10.44 Premium) are per-user averages for a 300-user team; the first 100 users cost $6.70 or $13.20 each.
• Enforced SSO and SCIM need a separate Atlassian Guard Standard subscription on every plan except Enterprise, which is sold on annual contracts only.
• The self-managed Data Center edition reaches end of life on March 28, 2029, when its subscriptions expire and it becomes read-only.

Saga

• There is no dedicated mobile app: Saga says it works in mobile browsers and that an app is on its roadmap.
• The Free plan stops at 3 members per workspace, 5,000 AI words a month, 7 days of version history and 250 MB of file storage.
• The Business plan, with AI search across tools and the web, is marked as coming soon and takes waitlist sign-ups only.
• Paid plans are charged per member for each workspace, and Saga AI on them is subject to a fair-usage policy.

Confluence

Pages and spaces

Pages hold project plans, meeting notes and policies, and are grouped into spaces with a page tree. Several people can edit at once, with inline and page comments and version history.

Whiteboards

Freeform canvases for brainstorming and diagrams, with built-in links to Jira. Free allows 3 active whiteboards per user, Standard 10, and Premium and Enterprise have no limit.

Databases

Structured collections that gather information from Jira and other apps and can be laid out as tables, cards or boards.

Rovo AI

Rovo Search, Chat and Agents come with paid plans and are metered in monthly credits: 25 per user on Standard, 70 on Premium and 150 on Enterprise.

Automation

Rule-based automation with templates and a low-code builder. Monthly allowances run from 50 steps per subscription on Free to 500 steps per user on Enterprise.

Permissions and external sharing

Paid plans add space and page permissions, view-only public links, anonymous access and up to 5 free guests per paid user, each limited to a single space.

Saga

Pages for notes and docs

A block editor for notes and documents with tables, media embeds, equations and an autocomplete menu for blocks, links and mentions.

Automatic linking and references

Saga recognizes what you type and cross-references it with existing pages, and a references view shows the connections across the workspace.

Saga AI

An assistant inside pages and tasks that drafts, rewrites, summarizes, checks grammar, translates into more than 20 languages and answers questions about mentioned pages.

Tasks and kanban view

Tasks created inside notes take assignees, priorities and deadlines, and are collected into one table or a drag-and-drop kanban board.

Real-time collaboration

Members edit pages and tasks together as Admins, Editors or Viewers, and pages or whole workspaces can be made public by link.

Google Drive and Linear integrations

Search and edit information from Google Drive and Linear inside Saga, and open Drive files side by side with pages. Free allows one of the two integrations; Standard includes both.
