Confluence vs Flow: What are the differences?
What is Confluence? One place to share, find, and collaborate on information. Capture the knowledge that's too often lost in email inboxes and shared network drives in Confluence instead – where it's easy to find, use, and update.
What is Flow? Simple project and task management for busy teams. Flow is an online collaboration platform that makes it easy for people to create, organize, discuss, and accomplish tasks with anyone, anytime, anywhere. By merging a sleek, intuitive interface with powerful functionality, we're out to revolutionize the way the world's productive teams get things done.
Confluence and Flow can be categorized as "Project Management" tools.
Some of the features offered by Confluence are:
- Spaces
- Pages
- Editor
On the other hand, Flow provides the following key features:
- Simple Project Management- Visually plan and organize all of your projects as lists or cards on kanban boards
- Team Collaboration- Invite anyone to collaborate on a task whether they have an account or not.
- Live Updates- With Flow, updates happen in real-time so everyone’s always up-to-speed.
"Wiki search power" is the top reason why over 88 developers like Confluence, while over 5 developers mention "Easy to use" as the leading cause for choosing Flow.
Facebook, Netflix, and Lyft are some of the popular companies that use Confluence, whereas Flow is used by Startae, Grooveshark, and WILD. Confluence has a broader approval, being mentioned in 1172 company stacks & 654 developers stacks; compared to Flow, which is listed in 7 company stacks and 3 developer stacks.
Since now Jira is offering pretty wide free plans, it can compete with asana at small teams. And they have a significant advantage especially if you're working in agile methodology. Confluence is also a big advantage, and also comes with a free plan, so it's a pretty big thing. But we had also talked about asana and used to work with it before a lot, but we chose to go with Jira, and it's pretty good for now.
