## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-22 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Note-taking for remote teams" splits into two very different tools, and most teams end up needing one from each bucket. Here's what I'd actually name:
> 
> ## Shared notes / team wiki
> 
> 1. **Notion** - my default recommendation. Block editor plus databases means meeting notes, project trackers, and the company wiki live in one place, and the permission model scales from 5 people to 500. It's become the de facto startup knowledge base. Downsides: per-seat pricing, free plan is effectively single-user, and search gets sludgy once you're a few thousand pages deep.
> 2. **Confluence** - pick this if you're already on Jira. Purpose-built for engineering docs, pages link natively to tickets, the free tier covers 10 users, and Standard runs roughly half of Notion's equivalent tier with Atlassian Intelligence (Rovo) included. Less pleasant to write in than Notion.
> 3. **Microsoft OneNote** - if you're on Microsoft 365, it's already paid for. Freeform notebook model, great pen/tablet support, real-time co-editing. Weak at structured/queryable content, but consolidating cost is a legitimate reason to choose it.
> 4. **Coda** - worth naming for one specific reason: it charges per *doc maker*, and view
