Which note-taking app for team do you use?

Question

We are exploring different options for note-taking within our team.

We were earlier using OneNote and switched away from the MSFT ecosystem to Google Workspace.

We need something that does not require using a shared credential but everyone should be able to use their own. We do not need all the bells and whistles that apps like Notion provide. We would be happy with simple Rich Text Editor-like features.

Most importantly, it would be nice if it was a free app. Being a bootstrapped start-up, $4/user/month is a little too high for us currently.

Notion is honestly the best, for just notes or if you want spreadsheet (databases) that can also talk to each other, or even if you want your slack or something to connect to it you can make stuff with their API... Very intuitive design too!

And if it's to expensive you can use someone like secret to get $1000 off,, https://www.joinsecret.com/offers/notion-coupon-1000

@max15 @sav_cooper We do use Notion but we use a shared account. It's difficult to keep track of who added what so realised everyone should have a separate account but turns out Team account is too costly. What @max15 pointed out is a good. I will explore JoinSecret.

Answer

I have been a regular user of Google Keep from last 7 years but honestly Google has ignored this app for so long and never had a roadmap to improve upon. Even the simplest features like Bold, Italics, Quotes etc. are not there.

So I personally use Notion more often now. An all in tool for productivity.

@max15 @ashitvora Notion is awesome because you can have public team pages and private personal pages - all my notes live in the same place which is super efficient!

Answer

Notion is my go to! However I use clickup for project management and their docs function is pretty dope!

We work with a combination of Notion and Google Suite. It's been highly effective for our team but if you're avoiding using paid tools, I'd recommend implementing strict accountability procedures: 
- Established file naming procedures
- A well kept Wiki for employees to look up how processes are done step by step
- AORs with clearly defined DRIs (https://wavelength.asana.com/workstyle-aors/)
- GTD Method (https://www.amazon.com/Getting-Things-Done-Stress-Free-Productivity/dp/0142000280)

We use Google Keep for taking notes. It's a great app because it's easy to use and everyone has access to it.
