Every Confluence page looks the same — same font, same size, same limited formatting. When you want a landing page that stands out, a team announcement that gets read, or documentation that looks professional, Confluence's built-in typography holds you back.

Several apps on the Atlassian Marketplace try to solve this. We built **Google Fonts for Confluence** to give teams access to the full Google Fonts library (1,942+ families) with a live preview editor. In this post we compare it against every alternative so you can choose the right one.

## The Problem with Confluence's Default Typography[​](#the-problem-with-confluences-default-typography "Direct link to The Problem with Confluence's Default Typography")

Confluence gives you one font family, a handful of sizes, and basic bold/italic. That's it. If you want to:

* Create a space homepage that looks professional
* Make team announcements that actually get noticed
* Use your brand font in documentation
* Display text at large sizes for presentations

...you're out of luck with the default editor. That's where font apps come in.

## What's Available on the Marketplace[​](#whats-available-on-the-marketplace "Direct link to What's Available on the Marketplace")

There are 5 font apps for Confluence. Here's the current landscape:

| App                             | Vendor                    | Installs | Rating            | Last Updated | Pricing               |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------- | -------- | ----------------- | ------------ | --------------------- |
| Fonts for Confluence            | Skanda Atlassian Apps     | 222      | 1.5/5 (4 reviews) | Apr 2025     | Free                  |
| Webfonts for Confluence         | TNG Technology Consulting | 200      | 4.0/5 (1 review)  | Feb 2026     | From $10/yr (DC only) |
| **Google Fonts for Confluence** | **NGPILOT**               | **15**   | —                 | **Apr 2025** | **Free to 10 users**  |
| Custom Fonts for Confluence     | Canary Apps               | 6        | No reviews        | Jul 2024     | From $50/yr           |
| Custom Fonts Pro for Confluence | Aptify Tech               | 2        | No reviews        | Jan 2026     | Free to 10 users      |

*Data from Atlassian Marketplace, April 2026.*

**Fonts for Confluence** (Skanda) leads in installs at 222, but users report serious issues — the 1.5-star rating reflects broken access controls and usability problems. It's also free, which explains the install count despite poor reviews.

**Webfonts for Confluence** (TNG) is the oldest competitor with 10,000+ historical downloads, but it's **Data Center only** — no Cloud version available. If you're on Confluence Cloud, this isn't an option.

### Where Google Fonts for Confluence Stands Out[​](#where-google-fonts-for-confluence-stands-out "Direct link to Where Google Fonts for Confluence Stands Out")

**Largest font library** — 1,942+ Google Font families, more than any competitor. Every font in the Google Fonts catalog is available.

**Fuzzy search** — Type part of a font name and find it instantly. No scrolling through a dropdown of 1,942 options.

**Live preview with RGB color editor** — See your text styled in real-time with the selected font, size, and color. The color picker includes quick-select swatches and direct RGB editing for precise brand color matching.

**Auto dark mode** — Styled text automatically adapts to Confluence's dark/light theme. Your text looks great in both modes without any extra work.

**Free for small teams** — Full features available free for up to 10 users.

### Where We Could Improve[​](#where-we-could-improve "Direct link to Where We Could Improve")

* **No visual effects** — Custom Fonts Pro offers shadows and gradients. We focus on clean typography rather than effects, but this is something we may add based on user feedback.
* **Smaller install base** — At 15 active installs, we're the newest entrant. We're building trust through regular updates and responsive support.
* **No Data Center version** — We're Cloud-only for now. If you're on Confluence Data Center, Webfonts by TNG is your best option.

## Honest Comparison: NGPILOT vs Skanda (Market Leader)[​](#honest-comparison-ngpilot-vs-skanda-market-leader "Direct link to Honest Comparison: NGPILOT vs Skanda (Market Leader)")

Since Skanda's **Fonts for Confluence** has the most installs, here's a direct comparison:

|                     | Google Fonts (NGPILOT)      | Fonts for Confluence (Skanda)      |
| ------------------- | --------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| **Fonts available** | 1,942+                      | Google Fonts (count unknown)       |
| **User rating**     | No reviews yet              | 1.5/5 — users report broken access |
| **Color picker**    | Quick swatches + RGB editor | Basic                              |
| **Font search**     | Fuzzy search                | No                                 |
| **Live preview**    | Yes                         | No                                 |
| **Dark mode**       | Auto-adapts                 | No                                 |
| **Pricing**         | Free to 10 users            | Free                               |
| **Last updated**    | 2025                        | 2025                               |
| **Support**         | Partner Supported           | Community                          |

The main tradeoff: Skanda is completely free with no user limits, but the poor reviews suggest reliability issues. Our app offers more features and a better experience, with a free tier for teams up to 10 users.
