| 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 an individual working across two computers or a small team sharing files with trusted devices. It moves folder changes instead of repeating manual copies, while keeping device and storage choices under your control. It does not replace independent backups or collaborative editing, and devices holding the files must be reachable. | 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. |
