Head-to-head · July 2026 snapshot

Notion vs Confluence

Notion dominates; Confluence still owns the enterprise question. Notion leads by a wide margin, appearing first 67% of the time against Confluence's 4%, and all three models prefer Notion by default. The gap is sharpest on Gemini, where Confluence scores 45 against Notion's 86, and Notion sweeps the startup, feature, and budget question themes. Confluence's one foothold is the enterprise buyer question, which keeps it relevant to exactly the segment where its brand equity still holds.
