Notion

Free plan; paid plans per member

Notion is a workspace for capturing knowledge, documents, projects and tasks in one place. It combines pages and databases with collaboration, publishing and AI features. Teams use it as a company wiki, a project tracker and a place for meeting notes all at once. It has desktop apps for Mac and Windows as well as mobile and web.

Pick it if you want one broad home for your team's knowledge and work, with desktop apps for everyone.

2Docs that work like custom workflow apps

Coda

Free plan; Pro about $12 per Doc Maker/month

Coda is a collaborative doc that combines writing with tables, buttons, automations, integrations and AI. Teams use it for project tracking, team hubs and lightweight custom workflow apps. Its pricing is based on Doc Makers, the people who create docs, rather than every member, which can change the maths for teams where only a few people build things. Coda runs on the web and mobile; there is no desktop app listed in its records.

Pick it if you want docs that behave like small apps, with buttons and automations, and only a few people on your team build them.

Verdict

Notion is the safer pick for most teams that want a general wiki-plus-projects workspace with desktop apps. Coda suits teams that want to build interactive docs and workflows, and its Doc Maker pricing can work out well when most people only read and edit. Compare both pricing pages against your team's size before you commit.
