Choose Display if

Product and engineering teams that already generate HTML docs and prototypes with coding agents and want one private place to share, review and version them.

  • Works with any agent, so Claude and Codex users can edit the same doc
  • Unlimited free viewers and commenters on every plan
  • Flat Team price covers up to 150 editors

Look elsewhere if: Teams that mainly need a classic wiki or office-file storage with mature compliance paperwork (Confluence, Google Drive).

Choose Evernote if

Individuals with large existing archives who clip, scan and search far more than they collaborate.

  • Excellent capture tools for web pages, scans and email
  • Search finds text inside images and PDFs
  • Mature apps on every major platform

Look elsewhere if: Teams building wikis and databases or users who want free local files (Notion, Obsidian).
