Notion** - My default recommendation for most remote teams. Docs, wikis, and lightweight databases in one workspace, so your knowledge base lives next to your project tracking instead of rotting in a separate tool nobody opens. Very good search and AI now. Weakness: the flexibility is a double-edged sword - without someone owning structure, it sprawls. ~$10/user/mo for Plus.\n\n**2. Slite** - The one I'd name if \"remote team\" is the operative phrase. It's deliberately narrow: a clean, searchable, async-first knowledge base and nothing else. Its agent flags stale docs and nudges owners, which solves the actual failure mode of remote documentation (it goes out of date and people stop trusting it). ~$10/user/mo.\n\n**3. Confluence** - Pick this if you're already on Jira. Structured spaces, granular permissions, real governance at scale. It's the least pleasant to write in of the bunch, but it's the right answer for larger orgs that need audit trails and hierarchy. Cheapest of the group at ~$5.50/user/mo Standard.\n\n**4. Guru** - Different philosophy: instead of you going to the wiki, answers surface ins", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
