Simpplr** - my default pick for a knowledge-worker remote team. It's a purpose-built modern intranet, and since its 2023 pivot it's genuinely AI-first: generative search and summarization, which matters a lot when nobody can just lean over and ask a colleague where the doc is. ~1,000+ customers including Snowflake and DocuSign. Enterprise quote-based pricing, and they really target 500+ employees.\n\n**2. Staffbase** - the one I'd name if your \"remote\" team includes frontline or deskless people. Mobile-first employee app + intranet + internal email in one, strong in European enterprise and manufacturing (Adidas, Audi, Mars, DHL). It's also the only one here with a public pricing signal: reported median annual contract ~$28.5k, ranging roughly $20k-$153k by size.\n\n**3. Workvivo (Zoom)** - best if your problem is engagement and culture rather than document findability. It feels like a social feed - activity stream, Spaces, recognition - which works well for teams that have lost hallway contact. Acquired by Zoom in 2023, so it's a natural ", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
