Here's what I'd actually pick, in order.\n\n## Shared team notes / wiki\n\n1. **Notion** - the default recommendation for most remote teams. Real-time co-editing, comments, @mentions, team spaces, and a permission model that holds up as you grow, plus databases so notes can turn into trackers without another tool. Best free tier of the bunch (unlimited pages, up to 10 users). Downside: it sprawls if nobody owns the structure.\n2. **Slite** - my pick if you want *just* a clean, searchable knowledge base and not a second project manager. Purpose-built for async, remote-first teams, ~$8/user/mo, and its AI flags stale pages and assigns someone to re-verify them - which is the actual failure mode of team wikis.\n3. **Microsoft OneNote** (or **Google Docs + Keep**) - if you're already all-in on Microsoft 365 or Workspace, use what you're paying for. Free, zero procurement, good enough for meeting notes and running docs. Weaker search and structure than Notion at scale.\n4. **Confluence** - only if you're a Jira shop or need enterprise governance: structured spaces, gra", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
