Scribe — when it makes sense.
Worth it if you spend more than 2h/month on process documentation — Scribe brings that to 15 minutes.

You only create one guide every 2 months — insufficient ROI. You need code documentation — Notion or Confluence are better
€20/month for a documentation tool can seem expensive
