Compare · Atlassian Rovo

Atlassian Rovo alternative for teams whose knowledge lives outside Atlassian too

Rovo is genuinely good, and if your company runs on Atlassian it is hard to beat on value: Rovo Search, Chat and Agents are included at no incremental cost in eligible paid Atlassian Cloud plans, and Rovo Search queries are free. Its center of gravity is Jira and Confluence, and it reaches beyond them with third-party connectors. If Atlassian is where your knowledge genuinely lives, use Rovo.

The reason teams look for a Rovo alternative is usually one of two things. Either their knowledge is not Atlassian-shaped, meaning the answer is as likely to be in a Google Doc, a Slack thread, a Notion page or a Salesforce record as in a Confluence page, and they want a search that is neutral across all of it. Or they hit the metering: Rovo Chat and Agent requests draw on a monthly credit allowance tied to your Atlassian plan tier and seat count, with Think deeper, advanced agents and other premium features costing more, and usage above the pool billed at $0.01 per credit from December 3, 2026, which makes heavy assistant use something you have to budget and ration.

InSearch is neutral by design. It searches Drive, Slack, Notion, Confluence, Gmail, Jira and Salesforce as equals in one query, and returns a written answer with inline citations, scoped to what each person can already open. Your Atlassian content is included, it just is not the center of the universe, and questions come from a fixed monthly allowance per seat, with no credit pool to top up.

Rovo is excellent if Atlassian is your system of record and you are on an eligible paid Cloud plan, where it is included at no incremental cost. InSearch is the alternative for companies whose knowledge is spread across Google, Slack, Notion, Salesforce and Atlassian, and who want a fixed monthly question allowance per seat instead of a credit pool.

Why teams pick InSearch

A fixed question allowance

Asking questions is what the product is for. Every seat comes with a fixed monthly allowance of cited answers, shown in the console, with no credits to buy and no overage bill.

Not tied to another vendor

Your search does not depend on staying on a particular Atlassian plan, or on Atlassian at all.
