yourapps.studio vs Jira + Confluence
Jira for tickets, Confluence for docs — two tools, two licenses, two logins. yourapps.studio does both in one system. When is the switch worth it?
When Jira + Confluence?
- You are a software engineering team and need the full Atlassian-specific features
- You have the Atlassian stack as a corporate standard
- Your processes are Jira-centric (sprints, backlogs, epics)
- You have in-house admins for Atlassian configuration
- You use Confluence intensively for technical docs
When yourapps.studio?
- You are not a pure engineering team — workflows + docs in one tool suffices
- You want one tool instead of two — one license, one login, one search
- Your data should render both as list/kanban and as wiki
- Permissions per field instead of space/project level
- OnlyOffice directly in the system instead of external file attachments
- Communication hub — chat per entry instead of comment thread
- GDPR hosting in Germany instead of Atlassian Cloud
