A Confluence alternative for docs your customers read

Confluence is built for internal collaboration around Jira. Zuwiki publishes polished public docs and internal wikis, priced per organization instead of per user.

Which tool fits your team?

Zuwiki and Confluence both publish documentation, but they are built for different teams. Here is our honest take.

Choose Zuwiki if

  • You publish docs for customers, not only for colleagues, with your own domain and design.
  • You want to pay per organization instead of per user.
  • Readers and AI tools should find your docs, with sitemap, llms.txt and Markdown output included.

Choose Confluence if

  • Your company already runs on Jira and needs pages linked tightly to issues.
  • You manage knowledge for hundreds or thousands of employees with central admin tooling.
  • You want whiteboards, databases and macros in the same workspace.
