Super quick list of alternatives to Jira and/or Confluence, Stash, Crucible, etc.

Alternatives to the "Atlassian Stack"

Fuller stack alternatives (replaces at least two of the Atlassian stack)

Jira/Ticketing alternatives

Crucible alternatives

Hipchat alternatives

Confluence alternatives

Besides a gazillion open source wiki projects…​

For a bigger far more all encompassing documentation toolchain:

  • Jive Disclosure: former employer (but thoroughly recommend for the right culture/environment)

  • Lithium

  • Salesforce.com’s Chatter Disclosure: former employer (don’t recommend based on user experience 3+ years ago)

is there any free confluence alternatives and open source? I know that there are some listed here. But, they are limited to use like 5 users.

As a confluence alternative you can use dropbox paper.
I might even be better then confluence.

As a wiki alternative TiddlyWiki seems like a good option too

You can also check out Slite as a Confluence alternative for notes/docs/wiki: it's user-friendly, has a real-time editor and is overall super collaborative.

Another good chat alternative is [Discord](https://discordapp.com/. While it's not specialized for business it has many features that are very nice to have like voice channels and webhooks (with slack webhooks support)

https://www.notion.so is a good documentation tool (web application with an iOS application) (has todos and other features as well)

@scottwarren I'm using notion right now, the best Wiki App so far. But the pricing is terrible: 8$ per user and month from the beginning on. Other SaaS products like Confluence (10 users for 10$), Git, Bitbucket, etc. offer a staggered pricing.

If you are evaluating an idea in a team you are screwed after a few weeks because you reach the limit of 1000 blocks and have to pay (in our case) 48$ a month for something that is slightly better than confluence without any option of self hosting.

https://slab.com/ is another option with emphasis on simplicity, maintaining easy to navigate organization as the team is growing, and integrating with other solutions (Github, Slack, Asana, Airtable are some examples).

I would suggest a Confluence alternative: https://archbee.io
Archbee is the documentation app for engineers.
Realtime knowledge base for your team, product docs for your customers.

How is Archbee different? Well, we focus on providing developer teams the best possible experience.
We are not a generic solution, meaning: you'll get a powerful realtime editor with diagramming capabilities,
Swagger, GraphQL, real code editor (Visual Studio Code embedder).

Ticketing? Of course you are missing Azure Boards!

As for the email from today, that Atlassian ends the support for self hosted server.. most important site right now.
But as far as I can see, no real alternative (with plugins) for Confluence.

https://backlog.com/ - a replacement of Jira + Confluence + Bitbucket.

We recently switched from Confluence to AllAnswered and really loved it. AllAnswered combines Wiki documents like Confluence and Questions & Answers similar to Stack Overflow. Great product and very easy to use. Here is their website https://www.allanswered.com

ZenTao for sure. The on premise and self-hosted Jira alternative. It offers open source community version and you can find it on Github(HERE) too.

Check out Drupal Wiki as Confluence alternative. Can be self-hosted (on premise) and has almost the same structure and functionality as Confluence - even content migration from Confluence is possible see Migrate from Confluence to Drupal Wiki.

Check out Doctave if you're looking for a developer-friendly Confluence alternative that uses a docs-as-code approach. You can also use the open source documentation site generator for free. (Disclaimer: founder here)
