In their own words
Confluence
Confluence is Atlassian's workspace for knowledge management and project collaboration, with pages, whiteboards, databases and Loom video messaging. Teams can edit content together in real time, comment, and receive notifications when tagged or assigned tasks. Its Jira connection links project tracking with documentation planning, and whiteboards can turn ideas into Jira work. View-only pages can be shared publicly; version history, content analytics and app integrations are also available. Rovo can turn content into timelines, charts, maps, slides and prototypes, while its connectors bring knowledge from services including Google Drive, Slack, Salesforce, GitHub, Microsoft Teams and SharePoint into AI search and workflows. Cloud products are hosted, while Data Center products can run on infrastructure of your choice. The Free plan supports up to 10 users, includes 2 GB of storage and allows three active whiteboards per user. Confluence is available on web, Android, iOS and as self-hosted software. Pricing starts at $5.42/user/mo, and a 7-day trial is listed.
