The question asked, verbatim: best knowledge base software for remote teams

Brands named, in the order the engine gave

1. Notion recommended
   Notion - My default pick for most remote teams under a couple hundred people.
2. Slite recommended
   Slite - The one I'd name specifically because you said remote.
3. Slack recommended
   It's built around async work and documentation hygiene - it actively nudges you about stale docs and surfaces answers in Slack/Teams rather than making people go hunting.
4. Guru recommended
   Guru - Best if your remote team is customer-facing (support, sales, CS).
5. Zendesk recommended
   Its whole premise is verified answers delivered inside Slack, Chrome, Zendesk, and Salesforce, so nobody context-switches.
6. Salesforce recommended
   Its whole premise is verified answers delivered inside Slack, Chrome, Zendesk, and Salesforce, so nobody context-switches.
7. Confluence recommended
   Confluence - The obvious answer if you're already on Jira and Atlassian.
8. Jira recommended
   Confluence - The obvious answer if you're already on Jira and Atlassian.
9. Document360 recommended
   Document360 - Worth a look if you need a customer-facing help center alongside the internal wiki.

The answer, as recorded

Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest trying them: **1. Notion** - My default pick for most remote teams under a couple hundred people. It handles docs, your wiki, project tracking, and meeting notes in one subscription, which matters when you're remote and don't want knowledge scattered across five tools. The teamspaces + granular permissions model works well for distributed orgs. The real caveat: it's only as good as your discipline. Notion pages go stale fast without an owner and a review cadence, so budget for someone to actually tend it. **2. Slite** - The one I'd name specifically *because* you said remote. It's built around async work and documentation hygiene - it actively nudges you about stale docs and surfaces answers in Slack/Teams rather than making people go hunting. Simpler and cheaper than Notion, which is a feature if you just want a wiki and not a workspace-slash-database-slash-everything. **3. Guru** - Best if your remote team is customer-facing (support, sales, CS). Its whole premise is verified answers delivered *inside* Slack, Chrome, Zendesk, and Salesforce, so nobody context-switches. Trade-offs: around $25/seat/month with a 10-seat minimum, and the human verification step can become a bottleneck - knowledge only exists if someone writes the card. **4. Confluence** - The obvious answer if you're already on Jira and Atlassian. Strongest for engineering and product documentation, and it scales to large orgs with the permissioning and governance that implies. Clunkier and heavier than the others; I wouldn't pick it fresh unless the Atlassian tie-in is real. **5. Document360** - Worth a look if you need a *customer-facing* help center alongside the internal wiki. Strong search, versioning, publishing workflows, and editorial controls. Overkill for a small internal-only team. One honest note on choosing: for remote teams the differentiator is almost never the feature list - it's search quality and whether answers reach people where they already are (Slack, mostly), plus a named owner per section. Pick the tool your team will actually open, then enforce a staleness review.
