Confluence vs Quip: What are the differences?

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.

"Wiki search power" is the top reason why over 88 developers like Confluence, while over 5 developers mention "Simple, reliable and fast" as the leading cause for choosing Quip.

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.
