The big fork is company size - remote teams under ~200 people are usually better served by a cheap wiki-style tool than a true enterprise intranet.\n\n## If you're a small-to-midsize remote team (under ~200)\n\n1. **Notion** - My default recommendation. For a fully remote team, the thing you need most is a searchable home for docs, onboarding, team pages, and handbooks, and Notion does that better than most dedicated intranets. Free for small teams, ~$12/user/mo for paid. Weakness: it's not a comms tool - no real news feed, push notifications, or publishing workflow.\n2. **Happeo** - The pick if you run on Google Workspace. It sits natively on top of Drive/Docs and gives you actual intranet features (pages, channels, org directory) instead of just a wiki, so you get social/comms layers without leaving the Google stack.\n3. **Nuclino or Slab** - Lighter and faster than Notion if you only want a knowledge base. Both have free tiers; Nuclino's Starter is ~$6/user, Slab's Startup ~$6.67/user. Good for async, writing-heavy remote teams.\n4. **Slite** - Explicitly built for remote/async-first teams.
