Is there an equivalent 'confluence-source-editor' for the Confluence Cloud?
Asked by AndrewBull:

Can anyone tell me if there is an equivalent 'confluence-source-editor' ([https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1210722/confluence-source-editor?hosting=server\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1210722/confluence-source-editor?hosting=server&tab=overview)) available for the latest version of 'Confluence Cloud'?

Thank you for contacting us about this. I love that add-on myself and I find it very useful. :) There is one very similar for Cloud called [Source Editor for Confluence Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215664/source-editor-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview). Have you seen this one yet?

Regards,

Shannon

No I had not found this plugin for Cloud. I too have found the Source Editor for the Server based version of Confluence very useful in the past, and had almost gave up on an equivalent for Cloud.  
Is this cloud based version subject to an additional service subscription as this product is supported by Mohami?  
Thank you.

Yes, this is a paid add-on. You can view the pricing from the Marketplace listing itself:

* [Source Editor for Confluence - Pricing](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215664/source-editor-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=pricing)

I hope that helps!

body: Dear Shannon.

I'm working for a media company Clear Channel here in the uk using the Cloud based version of Confluence (we have approximately 400 users within the organisation as a whole). I'm trying to justify the value of 'Confluence Source-Editor' (for myself and/or a small nucleus of possibly 10 users) for the production of useful documentation within Confluence.

Is this something I can justify (and licence) for my own use or a small group of colleagues who will use the 'Confluence Source-Editor', or must I pay for a license for **all** 400? registered Confluence Cloud users in my organisation, 97.5% of whom will not use your Confluence Source-Editor tool?

As a longstanding advocate of Confluence and having used the server product extensively I'd like to promote the versatility and value of your provision.

Regards  
Andy

Unfortunately that is the case that you will need to pay for the license for all of your users. I understand that with 400+ users, this can be quite costly. At this time, however, the licensing is based on the number of users in Confluence and cannot be assigned to only specific users.

We have a feature request lodged for this, although it says Jira Cloud, it would be the same UPM (plugin manager):

* [JRACLOUD-59932](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-59932?jql=text%20~%20%22separate%20license%20base%20for%20addons%22) *Separate license base for Addons*

Please vote on this to show your support. If you choose to watch the case, you will receive updates in the future about this.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Regards,

Shannon

Can you guide if I can use [Storage Editor \| Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220480/storage-editor?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) in cloud as a replacement of confluence-source-editor present in server becuase it is quite low at pricing as this one if there are any differences you can share [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215664/source-editor-for-confluence?hosting=cloud\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215664/source-editor-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)
