Notion** - My default recommendation for most remote teams under ~200 people. Docs, wiki, databases, and project tracking in one place, so you don't end up with a wiki nobody opens because the real work lives elsewhere. Async-friendly (comments, mentions, page history), and adoption is fast because so many people already know it. Its AI search across your workspace is genuinely good now. Weakness: permissions and structure get messy at scale, and it's easy to build a sprawl of orphaned pages. ~$10-12/user/mo.\n\n**2. Confluence (Atlassian)** - The right answer if you're already on Jira. Proper page hierarchies, space-level permissions, templates, and approval/governance features that Notion lacks. Cheapest of the serious options per seat. The editor and search are less pleasant, and it feels heavier - but for engineering orgs and anything with compliance requirements, it wins.\n\n**3. Guru** - Best if your problem is that people don't *read* the wiki. It pushes knowledge into Slack and the browser where work happens, and its verification system assigns each card an owner and an expiry date, so content doesn't silently rot.", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
