The block editor is the best of the bunch, databases let meeting notes, projects, and docs live in one linked system, and permissions scale well enough for a whole-company OS. Caveat: AI is only bundled at the Business tier (~$15/user/mo annual); Plus at ~$8 doesn't include it.\n2. **Confluence** - pick this instead if your team is engineering-heavy and already on Jira, or if you're 100+ people with compliance requirements. Spaces and page hierarchy impose structure Notion won't, search has real operators, and it's cheaper at entry (~$5.42/user/mo annual). Less pleasant to write in.\n3. **Coda** - the right call when your docs need to *do* something: genuinely relational tables, cross-table lookups, and conditional logic make it a lightweight no-code app platform. Best for ops teams building trackers and internal tools inside a doc.\n4. **Google Keep** - not a serious wiki, but worth naming if all you actually want is quick shared capture of ideas a", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
