Which should you choose, Confluence or Notion?

Choose Confluence if

  • You want a free wiki for a team of up to 10 people.
  • Your team already uses Jira, Loom or other Atlassian products.
  • You want AI search, chat and agents included in the first paid plan, with no credits to watch.
  • You want stale pages flagged automatically so the wiki stays trustworthy.

Choose Notion if

  • You want one place for notes, docs, wikis and project databases, built your own way.
  • You publish pages and forms to the web with Notion Sites.
  • You want AI meeting notes that transcribe without a bot joining the call.
  • Your team is happy to pay a little more per person for a more flexible tool.

How do Confluence and Notion differ in approach?

Confluence is a wiki first, and Notion is a flexible workspace that can be a wiki. Confluence, from Atlassian, organises knowledge as pages in spaces, with live docs, whiteboards, databases, videos and slides as content types, and templates for marketing, product, HR, finance and software teams. It connects closely with Jira and Loom.

Notion builds everything from blocks on pages, and its databases turn pages into trackers, content calendars or client lists with custom properties, filters and charts. A team that wants a clean, governed wiki tends to prefer Confluence. A team that wants its wiki, notes and projects in one place it designs itself tends to prefer Notion.

How much do Confluence and Notion cost?

Confluence costs less per person and is free for more people. Confluence Free covers up to 10 users with 2 GB of storage and three active whiteboards each. Standard is $7.15 a user a month on monthly billing at 10 or 25 users, and Premium $14.10; Atlassian prices both by team size, and yearly billing is sold per user band with savings of up to 17%.

Notion Free is meant for individuals, with limited blocks once two or more members share it. Plus is $10 a member a month billed yearly or $12 monthly, and Business is $20 billed yearly or $24 monthly. Publishing Notion Sites on your own domain costs $8 a domain a month paid yearly, or $10 monthly.

How does the AI compare?

Confluence includes its AI in the Standard price, and Notion includes its main AI from Business. Rovo, Atlassian's AI, adds search, chat and agents from Standard, connects knowledge across Confluence, Jira, Slack and other apps, turns prompts into drafts, a paragraph into a chart and a page into slides, and offers ready-made agents such as Meeting Insights Reporter. Rovo includes monthly credits; extra-usage billing starts December 3, 2026 at $0.01 per credit.

Notion gives Free and Plus a limited trial of Notion AI. Business includes Notion Agent, which writes, edits, fills in databases and finds answers across the workspace, plus AI Meeting Notes and Enterprise Search (beta). Custom Agents, which run repetitive work on their own, cost $10 per 1,000 Notion credits after a free try, and Notion says its AI providers keep data for 30 days except on Enterprise.

Which keeps a wiki trustworthy as it grows?

Confluence has more built in for upkeep. Status markers and automation flag stale pages, Teamwork Graph links content across Atlassian and connected tools, and automation steps rise from 50 a month on Free to 100 per user on Standard. Notion keeps page history for 7 days on Free, 30 on Plus and 90 on Business, and adds verified pages on Business, so readers can see which pages someone has checked.

Where does Mojobase fit?

Mojobase is a third option for a small company that wants its handbook to be read and kept up by AI, and it's built for 1 to 25 people, and it works well for teams up to 100. The Handbook is the company wiki every AI run reads first, its AI answers questions with quotes and links and keeps pages up to date, with every change in the history log, and a collection can be published as public docs or a help center. It has no databases or whiteboards, so teams that build trackers in their wiki are better served by Notion, and Jira teams by Confluence. It costs $39 a month for the first person and $25 for each after, with email, tasks and the AI included.
