Confluence pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives

Confluence (atlassian.com) is a docs and wiki tool. Per-user monthly subscription with graduated per-seat prices by user count, annual billing on volume tiers, Enterprise by quote, and Rovo AI credits allowed per user.. Free plan: Free forever for up to 10 users, with 2 GB file storage and no Rovo AI allowance..

What Confluence costs

  • 10 users: free (0: Free covers 10 users and 2 GB storage, which meets the scenario's 2 GB. No numeric page cap appears for any plan on the saved page. If Free were capped below 1,000 pages, the answer would be Standard 10 x $7.15 = $71.50.)
  • 10 users + AI: $89/mo (89: Standard 10 x $7.15 = $71.50, plus 1,750 extra credits. 200 questions x 10 credits (Quick answers) = 2,000 credits; Standard includes 250 (25 per user x 10), leaving 1,750 x $0.01 overage = $17.50. Premium (700 credits) and Enterprise (801+ users only) cost more. Prepaid credit packs may be cheaper; their prices were not found.)
  • 25 users: $178.75/mo (178.75: Standard monthly 25 x $7.15 (all 25 seats fall in the 1-100 user tier). Free is limited to 10 users. Annual billing would be $1,800/yr ($150/mo), but the monthly-billing rule applies.)

Plan compared: Free plan at 10 users for team10 (0); Standard monthly for team25 and the AI case. Prices are total USD per month on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12) for the cheapest plan that runs a team wiki: 10 or 25 members who can all create and edit pages, with 500 to 1,200 pages and 2 to 5 GB of attachments, and the same 10 people asking the built-in AI questions about their docs. A free plan counts as $0 only when it covers the team without member, page, block or storage caps.

Pricing page: atlassian.com/software/confluence/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. Standard prices come from the pricing page's structured data and commerce tier table; its $5.78 headline is the 300-user average, while its Premium tier table ($20.70/user) does not reconcile with its $11.16 headline, so Premium is unverified and no point depends on it. Rovo credit costs and the $0.01 overage rate come from Atlassian's Rovo usage-limits page, which says overage billing starts 2026-12-03; change history comes from PricingSaaS, which records no Confluence price increase, and CostBench gave no per-plan prices.
