Notion** - The default I'd suggest for most remote teams under ~200 people. Docs, databases, and lightweight project tracking in one place, so your wiki sits next to the work instead of in a separate silo. Cheap (~$10/user/mo), enormous template ecosystem, and AI search across the workspace. Real weakness: without an owner enforcing structure, it turns into a swamp within a year.\n\n**2. Confluence** - Pick this if you already pay Atlassian. Spaces, page trees, granular permissions, and enterprise governance are genuinely better than Notion's, and the Jira integration means engineering docs link to the tickets they describe. Around $6/user/mo, so it's also the cheapest serious option at scale. Feels heavier and older than the rest.\n\n**3. Guru** - The right answer when your actual problem is \"nobody reads the wiki, they just ask in Slack.\" Guru pushes answers into Slack/Teams and a browser extension at the moment of the question, and its verification workflow assigns each card an owner and an expiry date. Best fit for support, sales, and ops teams.\n\n**4. Slite**", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
