Confluence
Team wiki and docs workspace from Atlassian, tied to Jira
Our verdict
Second of our top three docs and wiki tools
For: Teams that want a wiki
Confluence is a team wiki: pages for plans, meeting notes and policies are grouped into spaces with a page tree, several people can edit at once, and whiteboards and databases sit alongside. The Free plan covers up to 10 users, and Standard is $6.70 per user a month, billed monthly, for the first 100 users. It runs on the web, iPhone and Android, and its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.6 from about 3,700 ratings. It is second because it is built for teams and its Free plan stops at 10 users and 2 GB of storage, with no space or page permission settings, where Google Docs is free for anyone with a Google Account. Enforced SSO needs a separate Atlassian Guard subscription below Enterprise.
