The Best Confluence Alternatives in 2026 (Wikis & Knowledge Bases)

Confluence is Atlassian's team wiki, but many find it clunky, slow, or expensive, especially outside the Atlassian ecosystem. Depending on whether you want a modern all-in-one, a fast focused wiki, or a customer-facing knowledge base, there's a better fit.

These all store team documentation and knowledge; they differ on modern UX, price, and whether they focus on internal wikis or public docs.

We rated every pick on four things — pricing and value, functionality, ease of use, and support. Here's the rundown.
