Notion** - My default recommendation. Notes, wikis, project boards and databases in one place, so meeting notes can link directly to the project they're about. Best-in-class templates and the widest integration ecosystem. Downside: you pay per seat for *everyone*, including people who only read, and it gets messy without someone owning the structure.\n\n**2. Confluence** - Pick this if your team already lives in Jira. It's more rigid than Notion, which is the point: predictable page trees, permissions and spaces that hold up at 100+ people. Notes stay findable two years later, which is where most Notion workspaces fall apart.\n\n**3. Coda** - The one to look at if cost matters. It only charges \"Doc Makers,\" so editors and viewers are free - one comparison put a 25-person team (10 creators, 15 readers) at ~$100/mo on Coda vs ~$212/mo on Notion. Also stronger formula logic and automation than Notion.\n\n**4. Google Docs + Drive** - Genuinely underrated and probably already paid for.
