Confluence vs Wekan: 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 Wekan? The open-source Trello-like kanban (built with Meteor). Whether you’re maintaining a personal todo list, planning your holidays with some friends, or working in a team on your next revolutionary idea, Kanban boards are an unbeatable tool to keep your things organized. They give you a visual overview of the current state of your project, and make you productive by allowing you to focus on the few items that matter the most.

Confluence and Wekan can be categorized as "Project Management" tools.

"Wiki search power" is the primary reason why developers consider Confluence over the competitors, whereas "Open Source" was stated as the key factor in picking Wekan.

Wekan is an open source tool with 14.6K GitHub stars and 2.13K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Wekan's open source repository on GitHub.

Decisions about Confluence and Wekan
Kirill Mikhailov

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.
