Confluence Pricing in 2026: Every Tier, Plus the Rovo Credits Nobody Mentions
Confluence has four plans: Free at $0 for up to 10 users, Standard at $5.42 per user/month, Premium at $10.44 per user/month, and Enterprise at custom pricing. Confluence is Atlassian’s team wiki and knowledge base, and pricing is per user, so a 20-person team on Standard is roughly $108/month, not $5.42.
Yes, Confluence is free — the Free plan caps out at 10 users and 2 GB of storage, with no time limit. The paid tiers now bundle Atlassian’s Rovo AI (search, chat, and agents), but that “included” AI is metered by a monthly credit allowance most buyers never read. The numbers below are current as of July 2026; prices change, so confirm against Confluence’s official pricing page before you buy.
Confluence plans at a glance
| Plan | Per user/month | Storage | Guests | Rovo AI credits | Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 (max 10 users) | 2 GB | Not included | None | Community only |
| Standard | $5.42 | 250 GB | 5 free per paid user | ~25/user/mo | 9/5 regional |
| Premium | $10.44 | Unlimited | 5 free per paid user | ~70/user/mo | 24/7, 1-hr response |
| Enterprise | Custom (contact sales) | Unlimited | Negotiable | ~150/user/mo | 24/7, 30-min response |
Prices and inclusions are from Atlassian’s pricing page. The advertised per-user figures are Atlassian’s headline rates; annual billing carries the same effective per-user price on the calculator, while monthly billing runs higher on smaller teams. Because Atlassian shifts the exact split and runs periodic increases, treat these as the sticker and confirm your real number in the checkout calculator.
Free plan
The Free plan is a real product, not a trial. It covers up to 10 users with 2 GB of total storage, unlimited pages and spaces, templates, databases, up to three whiteboards per user, and 10 automation runs per month. Support is community forums only, and there is no Rovo AI and no guest access.
For a solo user or a small side project, Free is genuinely usable. The wall you hit first is almost always the 10-user cap or the 2 GB storage limit — a wiki with a few years of attachments and images fills 2 GB faster than teams expect.
Standard plan
Standard is $5.42 per user/month and is where most small-to-mid teams land. It lifts storage to 250 GB, bumps automation to 100 runs per month, and adds 9/5 regional support. It also unlocks guest access: you can invite external partners as guests, free of charge, up to 5 guests per paid user.
Standard is the first tier to include Rovo — Atlassian’s AI search, chat, and agents — but with roughly 25 Rovo credits per user per month (more on why that matters below). Billing is per user with a maximum of 250,000 users per site.
Premium plan
Premium is $10.44 per user/month — nearly double Standard — and the jump is mostly about scale and support. Storage becomes unlimited, automation rises to up to 1,000 runs per user/month, and support goes 24/7 with a one-hour response target on critical issues and a 99.9% uptime SLA. Premium roughly triples the Rovo allowance to about 70 credits per user per month.
If your team lives in Confluence all day, runs heavy automation, or needs the SLA, Premium is the tier. If you mostly need a wiki, the storage and support upgrades are the only real reasons to pay double.
Enterprise plan
Enterprise is quote-only, billed annually, and aimed at large organizations. It adds unlimited automation, up to 150 sites under one agreement, advanced analytics, enterprise identity management, a 30-minute critical response target, and a 99.95% uptime SLA. Rovo credits climb to roughly 150 per user per month. You will not see a public price — you talk to sales.
The gotchas
A few things about Confluence pricing that don’t show up in the headline numbers:
- It’s per user, not per team. The $5.42 and $10.44 figures are per person. A 25-person Standard team is around $135/month, and it scales linearly. Confluence does not have Jira’s older tiered volume discounts baked into the small-team sticker — plan for the full per-seat cost.
- “Included AI” is metered. Rovo is bundled into paid plans, but it runs on credits. Rovo Chat and Rovo Agents cost about 10 credits per request and Deep Research about 100, against a monthly allowance of roughly 25 (Standard), 70 (Premium), or 150 (Enterprise) credits per user. Rovo Search does not currently draw credits. Heavy AI users can burn a monthly allowance in days, and additional Rovo capacity is a separate paid add-on.
- Prices go up on a schedule. Atlassian raises cloud prices regularly — the October 2025 round added roughly 5% to Confluence Standard, and Data Center list prices have climbed 15–25% in recent cycles. Budget for annual increases rather than a fixed rate.
- Storage caps bite on the low tiers. Free is 2 GB and Standard is 250 GB. An image- and attachment-heavy wiki can outgrow those faster than a text-only one, and overages effectively push you up a tier.
- Marketplace add-ons are a second budget. Much of what teams assume is “in Confluence” — advanced diagramming, better page trees, compliance and export tools — lives in the Atlassian Marketplace as paid apps, each with its own per-user monthly fee stacked on top of your plan.
- Data Center is a separate world. If you self-host, Confluence Data Center is licensed annually by user tier, sold separately from Cloud, with its own minimums and its own steeper increases. It is not a cheaper version of Cloud.
Is Confluence free?
Yes, for up to 10 users. The Free plan has no time limit and no credit card requirement, and it includes unlimited pages and spaces, which is more than many wikis need. The two hard limits are the 10-user cap and the 2 GB of storage — plus no Rovo AI, no guest access, and community-only support. The moment you add an 11th teammate or fill your storage, you’re on Standard at $5.42 per user/month for everyone, not just the new person.
When Confluence isn’t worth it
Confluence earns its price for teams already deep in the Atlassian stack — Jira alongside it, admins who know the platform, and a real need for the SLA and permissions model. It’s less compelling when you’re a small team paying per seat for a wiki you use lightly, when the Rovo credit ceilings make the “included AI” feel rationed, or when Marketplace add-ons quietly double your bill.
If any of those describe you, it’s worth comparing against lighter options before committing. Start with Confluence alternatives for the broader field, Confluence vs Notion if you’re weighing the two most common picks, and Notion pricing to line up the per-seat costs directly. If Jira is the reason you’re on Confluence at all, Jira alternatives is worth a look too.
FAQ
How much does Confluence cost per user? Standard is $5.42 per user/month and Premium is $10.44 per user/month. Free covers up to 10 users at $0, and Enterprise is custom-quoted. All paid pricing is per seat.
Is Confluence’s AI (Rovo) free on paid plans? It’s bundled, not unlimited. Standard, Premium, and Enterprise include Rovo, but on a monthly credit allowance (roughly 25, 70, and 150 credits per user). Chat and agent requests draw those credits, and extra capacity is a paid add-on.
Is annual billing cheaper than monthly? On smaller teams, monthly billing runs higher per user; the advertised $5.42 and $10.44 rates are the headline figures, and the annual commitment locks in the lower effective per-user cost. Confirm the exact split in Atlassian’s checkout calculator, since it varies by team size.
What happens when I outgrow the Free plan? Adding an 11th user or hitting the 2 GB storage cap moves you to Standard, and the per-user price applies to your whole team, not just the users over the limit.

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
