How we grade them
| 4.0GPAConfluenceExcellent | 3.0GPATettraVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AStandard is $6.70 a user a month for the first 100 users, about half what paid plans in this category usually start at, and it comes with 250 GB, page permissions and guests. Mind the pricing page: the $5.42 it shows first is an average for a 300-user team. | BScaling is $8 a user a month billed yearly, or $10 monthly, which is under what's typical here, and AI answers, the Slack bot and the API are all in. But the 10-user minimum sets the floor at ten seats, and SAML SSO and SCIM are paid add-ons unless you go Enterprise. |
| Free plan and trial | AFree for up to 10 users, with pages, spaces, databases, templates and 2 GB of file storage. A small team could stay here for good. You don't get space or page permission settings, though, so you can't lock a page down. | CNo free plan. The trial is a decent one, though: 30 days with all features included and no credit card required. When it ends, you need a card to carry on. |
| Features | APages in spaces with a page tree, live editing by several people, comments and version history. Then whiteboards linked to Jira, databases you can lay out as tables, cards or boards, rule-based automation, and Rovo AI search and chat on paid plans. That's the whole wiki job. | APages you write or build from Google Docs and Markdown files, a store of answered questions, and Kai answering from all of it in Tettra and Slack. Experts verify pages on a schedule, and reports list what's stale or unowned. Read-only users, guests and page locking round it out. |
| Ease of use | A4.6 from about 3,700 App Store ratings. It's cloud software you sign up for, and Standard and Premium have a 7-day trial that asks for no payment information. Templates mean you rarely start a page from nothing. | BNo rating on record to go by, so a B is as high as we go. It's used in a browser and through Slack, so there's nothing to install, and you can bring in the Google Docs you already have. The interface is English-only. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, iPhone and Android, with Jira, Jira Service Management, Trello, Loom, Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, GitHub and Figma connected. There's no desktop app on record, so at a computer it's the browser. | BWeb only: Tettra's site lists no desktop or mobile apps. It works through Slack and connects to Google Workspace, GitHub and Zapier, with API access on the Scaling plan. |
| Best for | team wikis that sit next to Jira | Slack teams tired of answering the same question |

- 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.

- 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.
Tettra
- Internal knowledge base
- Pages are written in Tettra's editor or built from existing Google Docs, Markdown files and other content, then grouped into categories with unlimited version history.
- AI answers from Kai
- When someone asks a question in Tettra or Slack, the Kai bot searches the knowledge base and replies. If it finds nothing, it helps assign the question to the right person.
- Questions and answers
- Questions and their answers are stored alongside pages, so a question that has been answered once can be found again instead of asked again.
- Verification and content reports
- Subject-matter experts verify pages on a set schedule, teammates can request new pages or updates, and reports list stale, unowned and public content.
- Slack integration
- From Slack, teammates can search Tettra, get AI answers in channels and direct messages, summarize threads and turn existing answers into knowledge base content.
- Sharing and permissions
- Single pages can be shared by link and whole categories published as external sites. Read-only users, guest users, invite-only categories and page locking control access.
