The only issue I have with many Confluence alternatives is that they don't support multiple people editing the same document, at the same time, à la google docs. Does this? I can't tell from the landing page.

And Confluence supports collaborative editing.

Does not support this at the moment. Currently rebuilding the editor with a vision to potentially support that in the future although there'd be some hurdles to jump over to get to that point.

All real Confluence alternative (Confluence is a b2b software not a wiki tool) Notion, Guru, Slab, Slite ... are supporting that since their creation.

  As someone else pointed out, creating a good real time editing experience is tricky, especially if the editor is block based. I would add Saga (https://saga.so https://saga.so) to the list of alternatives.

    It is extremely offputting that Saga doesn't show a single actual product view, the site design makes me think the product is equally ugly, and they require signing up to see a demo? When a company hides the product that much and forces you to only experience it with a tour guide, it's tacit admission the product sucks.

      The hero section of the website is a demo recording of the product.

      I agree that it's frustrating when a company hides their product, but I think the saga website design is really nice and they do have an actual video of the platform front and center (Instead of one of those fake simplified "representations" that may companies use).

  "b2b software" and "wiki tool" are not mutually exclusive.

I just ran into this problem with Notion earlier this week. It was really disappointing how bad the experience was with even just two people trying to work on the same document. I quickly gave up.
