Reviewers are free. There is no per-viewer tax, no storage upsell and no free tier that quietly becomes the product.
For one team that needs controlled documents and approval evidence.
For quality and compliance programs that need control at scale.
For regulated organizations with dedicated or self-hosted requirements.
Prices are annual list prices in USD. Monthly billing is available at a higher rate. Non-profit, education and regional pricing may be available — ask us.
In a controlled-document process, most people only read, comment and approve. Charging them a full editor seat is why document control software feels expensive.
If a workspace exceeds the reviewer cap, an administrator converts reviewers to paid seats or removes access. There is no silent overage and no surprise invoice.
The honest comparison is not Confluence alone. It is Confluence plus an approval app, plus the manual work of assembling audit evidence.

Confluence list prices checked November 2026: Standard ~$7.15/user/month monthly. Comala pricing is an estimate; confirm with the vendor. This is a directional comparison, not a quote.
Each customer runs on isolated infrastructure with backups, monitoring and support. A five-person plan at this price would not cover the cost of doing that safely. The minimum keeps the service reliable instead of hiding the cost in a free tier.
The prices shown are annual list prices. Monthly billing is available at a higher rate. Annual plans can be paid upfront or invoiced for Business and Enterprise.
Reviewers can read, comment and approve, but cannot create, edit, move or submit documents. They are free up to two per paid editor. If you need more, an administrator can add paid seats or remove access — there is no silent overage.
The app shows a clear upgrade path instead of failing silently. You can add editor seats or storage from the billing settings. Existing documents remain readable; limits never lock your data.
Design partners and annual prepay can qualify for introductory pricing. We do not discount below the seat floor, because support and infrastructure are real costs. We would rather scope a smaller pilot than sell a plan we cannot run well.
Enterprise is an annual contract based on editors, deployment model, support and security requirements. It includes a DPA, SLA, onboarding and a dedicated or self-hosted stack.
Bring a policy or SOP. We will help you run the first cycle, lock the revision and show you the audit trail.
