Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hiring at 3.3 against Confluence Data Center's 2.5. Hiring also leads on review sentiment (35% vs 21%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). Confluence Data Center's advantage is ratings volume (73 vs 11). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
