The short version

  • Only Confluence has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Confluence listed on UK G-Cloud at £5 to £11 per licence per month for Atlassian Confluence, via reseller Rapid X; Lattice a $4,000 minimum annual agreement applies, so the per seat prices only describe the cost above that floor
  • They diverge on capability: Confluence covers Page creation, Lattice covers Performance reviews.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Confluence

  • Listed on UK G-Cloud at £5 to £11 per licence per month for Atlassian Confluence, via reseller Rapid X

Lattice

  • A $4,000 minimum annual agreement applies, so the per seat prices only describe the cost above that floor
  • Billing is annual only
  • The platform is sold as three separate base products at $10, $8 and $4 per seat per month, so a full deployment stacks rather than being one price
  • Compensation and Grow are further add ons at $6 and $4 per seat per month on top
