Pros & Cons

Notion

Pros

  • + Highly flexible structure (pages + databases) for many documentation styles
  • + Strong collaboration and sharing controls for internal/external docs
  • + Large template ecosystem and easy-to-build internal wikis
  • + Integrates well with common tools (Slack, Google Drive, GitHub, etc.) and supports embeds

Cons

  • Can become messy without governance (naming conventions, database design, permissions)
  • Performance can degrade with very large workspaces/databases
  • Advanced knowledge-base needs (granular publishing workflows, strict IA, analytics) may require specialized tools

Slab

Pros

  • + Clean, intuitive writing and reading experience that drives adoption
  • + Strong search and organization for finding answers quickly
  • + Useful integrations that connect docs to day-to-day tools
  • + Good permissioning and sharing controls for growing teams

Cons

  • Advanced admin/security features may require higher-tier plans
  • Less flexible than fully custom documentation sites for complex public docs
  • Pricing can add up as headcount grows compared with flat-fee wiki options
