The short version
Confluence (Atlassian) is a knowledge base and documentation platform for capturing and organizing team information.
Prime RP runs operations: weighted projects, approvals, finance, procurement, and field work, with native chat and video on the records.
Documenting work vs running it
Confluence is where knowledge lives; Prime RP is where operational work happens and gets recorded. Many teams keep Confluence for docs while running operations and communication in Prime RP.

Bottom line
