The answer, as recorded

# Best intranet software for remote teams The honest first filter is size and existing stack, because "intranet" means two very different products: a comms/engagement platform for a few hundred-plus people, or a knowledge hub for a team of 20. Here's who I'd actually name, in order. ## If you have ~200+ employees and a real internal comms function **1. Staffbase** - My default pick for distributed workforces. Its strength is multichannel publishing: the same announcement goes out as a branded mobile app push, an intranet post, and an email newsletter, which is exactly the problem remote and deskless teams have (nobody sees the post). Quote-only; reported median around $28.5k/yr, with a wide range depending on headcount. **2. Simpplr** - The one I'd name if your pain is "we have the information but nobody can find it." Clean, modern, strong AI-assisted search and content discoverability, with targeted comms so people aren't drowning in irrelevant posts. No published pricing, and it's explicitly aimed at 500+ employee orgs. **3. Workvivo** - Best when the goal is culture and engagement rather than document management. It's the most "social network" of the group, and the Zoom acquisition means it slots in cleanly if you're a Zoom shop. Quote-only, no free trial. **4. Unily** or **Interact** - Both are enterprise-grade. Unily for global, multi-region orgs that want deep analytics and scale; Interact if a comms team wants heavy curation, broadcasts, and personalization. Pick these when you have the budget and the headcount to justify them. ## If you're already committed to a stack **5. SharePoint** (with Viva Connections) - If you're Microsoft 365-centric, this is the rational answer. It's essentially already paid for, and document management and governance are genuinely strong. The tradeoff is real: it needs configuration work and it will not feel modern out of the box. **6. Happeo** - The Google Workspace equivalent of that logic. If Drive and Gmail are your primary stack, it's a substantially better fit than the Microsoft-oriented tools. ## If you're a small remote team (under ~100) Don't buy an enterprise intranet. You want a knowledge base. **7. Notion** - All-in-one workspace where docs live beside projects. Generous free tier; Business around $20/user/mo. Best if you want one tool instead of three. **8. Guru** - The best answer if your team lives in Slack. It surfaces verified answers inside Slack and Chrome without anyone opening a separate app, and it flags stale content for re-verification. Builder tier around $10/user/mo. **9. Tettra** or **Slite** - The budget picks. Tettra is free up to 10 users, then roughly $4-8/user/mo; Slite is free, then roughly $8-12.50/user/mo. Focused documentation, none of the overhead. **10. Confluence** - Only really compelling if you already run Jira. Free up to 10 users, then roughly $6-11/user/mo. ## What I'd tell you to watch for Every enterprise option here is quote-only, so budget for a sales cycle and negotiate - published list behavior suggests meaningful discounting above 500 seats. And the usual failure mode isn't picking the wrong product, it's buying a comms platform when the actual problem is that nobody owns content upkeep. Whichever you pick, someone needs the job of keeping it current, or it becomes a graveyard within a year.
