Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Confluence Cloud at Free against PlantUML App's $0.99. Confluence Cloud also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). PlantUML App's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 21%) and iOS requirement (16.7 vs 18.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Confluence Cloud holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Confluence Cloud has 3.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Confluence Cloud's written reviews are positive against 60% of PlantUML App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Confluence Cloud ships an update every 8 days, PlantUML App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 14, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
