What Confluence actually costs over a year
A monthly price is not the same thing as a monthly contract. These are the plans above resolved both ways, per seat or unit where the plan is charged that way. Where a vendor quotes only a yearly figure it is divided by twelve rather than left out, and the Quoted column says which figure the vendor actually publishes.
| Plan | Quoted | Monthly | Over 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standardper user | per month | $5.42 | $65.04 |
| Premiumper user | per month | $10.44 | $125.28 |
Cancelling Confluence, and getting money back
Read from the published Confluence terms on 18 September 2026. These are the terms, not legal advice: consumer law where you live may give you rights the terms do not mention.
| Refund window | 30 days |
|---|---|
| When you cancel | The subscription ends at the end of the current billing cycle and the card is not charged again. Atlassian offers no credit for cancelling before that point. |
| Changing mid-term | The 30 days run from the purchase and cover an initial purchase only; past that Atlassian states it cannot offer a refund, and none of it applies to Enterprise subscriptions. Deactivating a Service Collection cancels every app included in it, and none of them can be kept. |
| Your data afterwards | Atlassian does not control retention for Marketplace app subscriptions: how long that data is kept, and how long reactivation stays possible, is set by each app vendor. |

Confluence pricing against its competitors
Compared on the smallest invoice each vendor will accept, not on the advertised per-seat rate. Where a product has a seat minimum, the figure below is the minimum times the rate, because that is the cheque you would actually write.
| Product | Cheapest paid entry | Free plan | Against Confluence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Confluence | $5.42 a month | Yes | This product |
| Jira | $7.91 a month | Yes | +$2.49 a month (+46%) |
| Notion | $10 a month | Yes | +$4.58 a month (+85%) |
Which Confluence plan should you buy?
| Your situation | Recommended | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A team of ten or fewer needs a wiki | Free | Up to 10 users on one site. Watch the 10 automation runs a month, which a single rule exhausts immediately. |
| You run Jira and need documentation beside it | Standard | The automatic two-way linking with Jira issues is the entire reason to choose Confluence. |
| You need unlimited storage and 24/7 support for critical issues | Premium | Roughly double Standard, bought for operational guarantees rather than editing features. |
| You need multiple sites or Atlassian Analytics | Enterprise | Annual billing only, and its price is not shown until you switch the billing toggle. |
| You are pricing it for a small team | Enter your own headcount first | The advertised per-user rates assume a default team size of 300. A ten-person team pays more per user. |
| You do not use Jira | Consider Notion instead | Without the Jira relationship, Notion is more pleasant and people keep it up to date. |
Atlassian licensing costs
Every other Atlassian product priced on this site, with the smallest invoice each will accept and the specific questions answered for it.

The quoted price assumes 300 users
This is the detail that misleads small teams. Atlassian’s pricing page has a “Team size” box, and it is pre-filled with 300 users. The prices displayed, $5.42 and $10.44 per user per month with Monthly billing selected, are the rates at that volume.
Atlassian’s per-user rate declines as headcount rises, so a ten-person team will see a higher figure than the one on the page, and a three-thousand-person organisation a lower one. Enter your own headcount before quoting Confluence to anyone, and note that annual billing is advertised as saving up to 17%.
Enterprise is annual-only; its price is not shown at all until you switch the billing toggle.
What each tier actually gates
The interesting limits are not features but quotas:
| Free | Standard | Premium | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Users | 10 | 250,000 | 250,000 |
| Storage | 2 GB | 250 GB | Unlimited |
| Automation runs/month | 10 | 100 | 10x Standard |
| Whiteboards per user | 3 | 10 | Unlimited |
| Support | Community | 9/5 regional | 24/7 for critical issues |
Ten automation rule runs a month on Free is the one that surprises people, since a single rule firing on page updates exhausts it almost immediately.
The Jira link is the argument
A Jira issue can reference the Confluence page holding its requirements, and the page shows which issues implement it. Release notes can be generated from Jira data. For an organisation already committed to Jira, this removes the copy-paste-and-drift problem that afflicts every other combination of tracker and wiki.
Nothing else Confluence does is better than the alternatives, and this one thing is hard to reproduce elsewhere. That is essentially the same argument as Bitbucket’s, and it is a real one.
Where Notion wins, honestly
Writing. The Notion editor is faster, cleaner and more enjoyable, and people voluntarily keep documents up to date in tools they like using. Confluence pages tend to be written once, under obligation, and then rot.
Where Notion loses is enterprise permissioning, audit trails, scale and the Jira relationship. If those matter to your organisation, you will end up on Confluence and should invest in templates and periodic archiving rather than hoping the sprawl resolves itself.
