Here's who I'd actually name, in order:\n\n**If you have under ~200 people**\n\n1. **Notion** - For most small remote teams this *is* the intranet, and it's the one I'd try first. Wiki, handbook, team homepages, onboarding checklists, and project docs in one place, with search and AI Q&A over everything. $10/user/mo on Plus, $20 on Business (which is where workspace Q&A and custom agents live), no seat minimum. The tradeoff: no real internal-comms layer (no broadcast, no news feed, no read receipts) and it degrades into sprawl without someone owning structure. ([pricing comparison](https://costbench.com/compare/guru-vs-notion-teams/))\n2. **Guru** - Better than Notion at the one thing Notion is weakest at: keeping knowledge *correct*. Every card has a verified owner and an expiry date, and it pushes answers into Slack and the browser instead of waiting for you to go look. Worth it if stale docs are your actual pain. But there's a 10-seat minimum at $25/seat/mo, so a $250/mo floor - bad math for a team of five.
