Notion** - My default answer for most remote teams under a couple hundred people. It's your wiki, docs, and lightweight project tracker in one subscription, so you're not paying for a separate tool to track the work the docs describe. The tradeoff is real though: it's flexible enough that without someone owning structure, it degrades into a sprawl nobody searches. Around $10/user/month.\n\n**2. Confluence** - The right pick if you're engineering-heavy and already live in Jira. Structure is imposed rather than invented, which is exactly what you want for technical docs, runbooks, and specs. It's also the cheapest of the serious options at roughly $5.50/user/month. Feels dated next to Notion, and non-engineers tend to avoid it.\n\n**3. Guru** - Best choice if your actual problem is that people never *open* the wiki. Guru pushes answers to you inside Slack, Gmail, and the browser, and its verification workflow assigns owners and expiry dates to each card so stale content gets flagged instead of quietly misleading people. That's the single biggest knowledge-base failure mode on distributed teams. Pricie", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
