Limits, notes & source
Community
- Limits
- Free and open-source core with real-time collaboration, spaces and full-text search; excludes SSO, AI, granular permissions and email support.
- Notes
- Only the core is AGPL-3.0. Files under the enterprise directories are covered by a separate commercial licence, so the paid tiers are recorded as proprietary here.

- ConfluenceShips a documented Confluence importer: upload the ZIP file exported from Confluence.Source
- ExportIn Confluence: Space settings → Export space → HTML (or XML), then download the archive.Source
- ImportIn the target space: Import pages → Confluence, upload the ZIP; formatting, page tree and attachments are preserved.Source
- CaveatThe feature list marks Confluence import as Enterprise; the free edition imports Markdown, HTML and ZIP archives.Source
- ExportIn Notion, export the workspace or the pages you need — Notion hands you a ZIP file of Markdown or HTML files to upload to Docmost.Source
- ImportIn Docmost, open the import dialog in the target space (⋯ next to Pages → Import pages), click Notion and upload the ZIP; the page structure is preserved.Source
- ExportOutline exports a whole collection or the entire workspace as Markdown, HTML or JSON (Settings → Export); the docs call JSON the best format for moving data into another system.Source
- ImportDocmost's import dialog takes Markdown, HTML, a ZIP of those, DOCX, or a Notion/Confluence export, and its bulk ZIP upload is the documented way to move many pages at once.Source
- CaveatNo Outline importer is documented: Docmost's Outline comparison page invites teams to switch but names no migration path or tool.Source
