1. Notion recommended
   Notion - My default suggestion for most remote teams under ~200 people.
2. Slite recommended
   Slite - The best pick if your main pain is "nobody can find anything" rather than "we need a workspace."

The answer, as recorded

Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in order: **1. Notion** - My default suggestion for most remote teams under ~200 people. The editor is genuinely pleasant, nested pages and linked databases let the structure follow how your team thinks, and because projects/tasks/docs live in one place people actually stay in it. The catch: your wiki is only as good as your discipline - pages go stale fast without an owner. Free tier, Plus $10/user/mo, Business $20/user/mo with AI. **2. Slite** - The best pick if your main pain is "nobody can find anything" rather than "we need a workspace." It deliberately skips project management and focuses on keeping docs accurate: Slite Agent cross-references your docs against 20+ connected tools and flags stale content, and Slite Ask cites which documents back each answer. Strong Slack/Teams integration, which matters for async teams. Cheaper and simpler than Notion. **3. Confluence** - The obvious answer if you're already on Jira. Best-in-class for engineering and product documentation, permissions, and large-org scale. Clunkier to write in than the others, so it tends to be a tool engineers like and everyone else tolerates. **4. Guru** - Choose this for customer-facing teams (support, sales, CS). Its model is verified "cards" with expert owners and expiry dates, surfaced directly in Slack, Chrome, Zendesk, and Salesforce - so people get answers without opening another tool. Expensive: ~$25/seat/mo with a 10-seat minimum, so a $250/mo floor. **5. Document360** - Worth a look if you need to publish an external help center alongside internal docs, with real editorial workflows, versioning, and publishing controls. More of a documentation platform than a team wiki. **6. Nuclino** - The lightweight option. Fast, minimal, instant search, basically no setup. Good for a small team that wants a wiki and nothing else; it won't scale into a heavier knowledge program. If I had to pick blind: **Notion** if you want one place for everything, **Slite** if documentation hygiene is the actual problem, **Guru** if the audience is support/sales.
