| Best use | Ideal for a small team that wants runbooks, product decisions, and system documentation on its own server with live editing, search, and page history. It is not a fit for teams that want zero server operations or expect SSO and granular page permissions in the free edition. | Best for a developer or small team maintaining a product or library guide and comfortable with files and Git. It organizes scattered instructions into pages with clear locale and version choices. It does not write or translate your content, and may be excessive for a single page or a team needing direct collaborative editing. | Best for an individual developer or small team that needs encrypted, testable backups of project files and exported database dumps. It works with local or remote storage and can be scheduled by the operating system. It does not replace application-consistent database exports or recovery testing. |
