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.\n\n**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.\n\n**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.
