1. Notion: the favorite of LATAM startups and scale-ups
Strengths
- Exceptional user experience: clean, intuitive interface with drag-and-drop. Onboarding takes minutes, not days.
- Flexibility without limits: relational databases, Kanban boards, calendars, and wikis in one place.
- Real-time collaboration: simultaneous editing Google Docs-style, inline comments, mentions.
- Template ecosystem: thousands of free templates covering virtually every use case.
- Built-in AI: Notion AI included for generating content, summarizing pages, and translating.
Limitations
- Structure can turn chaotic: too much flexibility without governance produces disorganized information.
- Performance on large workspaces: lag can appear beyond 10,000 pages.
- Less granular permissions: compared to SharePoint, per-page and per-database permissions are more basic.

- Plus: $10 USD/user/month (unlimited uploads, 30-day history, 100 guests)

2. Confluence: the standard for development teams
Strengths
- Native Jira integration: link epics, stories, and bugs directly from pages, bidirectionally.
- Templates for dev teams: product requirements, technical specs, retrospectives, runbooks.
- Robust version control: full history, rollback, side-by-side comparison.
- Atlassian ecosystem: if you already run Jira, Bitbucket, and Opsgenie, Confluence closes the loop.
Limitations
- Dated UX: the interface feels “enterprise legacy” next to Notion.
- Learning curve: non-technical users tend to find the tool intimidating.
- Hidden costs: essential plugins like draw.io or Gliffy cost extra.
Pricing (verified December 2025)
- Free: $0 USD (up to 10 users, 2GB storage, basic templates)
- Standard: $6 USD/user/month (annual billing, scales up to 100 users)
- Premium: $11.75 USD/user/month (1000 automations per user, unlimited whiteboards)
- Enterprise: from ~$23.50 USD/user/month (99.95% SLA, 24/7 support, unlimited storage)
One extra cost to factor in: Marketplace apps can add 30-50% to the base price. Guests are free (up to 5 per user). Sources: Atlassian, TrustRadius.
3. SharePoint: the enterprise giant
Strengths
- Microsoft 365 integration: Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, and Power Platform connected natively.
- Compliance and security: ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and LATAM financial regulations (CNV, BCB, etc.).
- Enterprise governance: ultra-granular permissions, DLP, retention policies, eDiscovery.
- Copilot: Microsoft’s AI built in for search, summaries, and content generation.
Limitations
- Extreme complexity: requires a dedicated IT admin; setup takes weeks.
- Fragmented UX: classic versus modern SharePoint, confusing for end users.
- Low adoption: teams often drift into shadow IT (Notion, Confluence) out of frustration.
Pricing (verified December 2025)
- SharePoint (Plan 1): $5 USD/user/month (standalone: OneDrive + SharePoint + Lists)
- Microsoft 365 Business Standard: $12.50 USD/user/month (Office apps, Teams, SharePoint, 1TB storage)
- Microsoft 365 Business Standard (without Teams): $9.29 USD/user/month
- Microsoft 365 Copilot: +$30 USD/user/month (AI across the whole suite)
- Enterprise E3/E5: quoted by Microsoft (advanced compliance, DLP, eDiscovery)
Requires an annual commitment; prices in USD with auto-renewal. Source: Microsoft 365 Plans.
Use cases: which one should you pick?
Pick Notion if…
- You are a startup or scale-up (10-500 employees)
- You prioritize adoption speed and user experience
- Your teams are cross-functional (Product, Marketing, Ops)
- You want to consolidate wikis, docs, projects, and CRM into one tool
- Your budget is tight but you need enterprise features
Pick Confluence if…
- You already use Jira or the Atlassian ecosystem
- Your teams are primarily engineering
- You need robust version control
- Technical documentation is your main use case
Pick SharePoint if…
- You are a large (1000+ employees) Microsoft-first company
- You operate under strict regulations (finance, healthcare, government)
- You already have M365 infrastructure and IT admins
- You need ultra-granular governance
- You have an enterprise budget
Migration: how do you switch tools?
If you are weighing a move from Confluence or SharePoint to Notion — the most common scenario we see in LATAM — this is the process:
- Audit: inventory existing content and separate critical pages from obsolete ones (70% is typically out of date).
- Cleanup: archive or delete stale documentation before migrating.
- Technical migration: use Notion’s importers, custom scripts, or specialized services.
- Redesign: use Notion’s flexibility to build an optimized structure instead of replicating the legacy architecture.
- Training: per-team sessions, pre-configured templates, internal champions.
Estimated time: 4-8 weeks for 100-500 pages. 3 to 6 months for large enterprise workspaces (10,000+ pages).
Conclusion: the winner in LATAM for 2025
For most companies in LATAM, Notion is the best choice in 2025. It combines:
- The shortest learning curve of the three platforms
- Flexibility for any use case, not just technical docs
- Accessible pricing for startups and scale-ups
- Native AI included
Confluence remains the standard for Atlassian-first engineering teams. SharePoint is a necessity for large corporations under strict regulatory requirements.
But if your goal is consolidating tools, improving cross-functional collaboration, and accelerating time-to-market, Notion + AI is the right bet.
