| Audit log | Enterprise (audit events) | Standard and up | Enterprise |
| Bulk export | Own docs as .txt and .csv | Space as PDF, CSV, HTML or XML | Workspace as Markdown or HTML (owner) |
| Bottom line | From its public pages, Coda (now Superhuman Docs) costs the least here when few people create docs, because Editors and Viewers are free. Admin, analytics and compliance controls sit on Enterprise, which is what lowers its score. | From its public pages, Confluence puts the most security-review controls on its first paid plan and keeps every page version. Budget for Atlassian Guard if you need SAML SSO, and compare monthly and annual billing at your team size. | From its public pages, Slite puts full history, viewer analytics and doc verification on its $10 Basic plan. No free plan, readers billed until Enterprise and admin controls on Enterprise are what lower its score. |
