Verdict

The call

Quip and Confluence Cloud both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 71% of Quip's written reviews are positive against 21% of Confluence Cloud's. Quip also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (26K vs 3.7K). Confluence Cloud's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
