Google, Facebook, and Dropbox were all quite different from their competitors from very early on.

I agree their business model could a the key to success, but from a user’s point of view, what is the reason that would make me want to pay for this new service? At a glance, it is quite similar to other note apps

Primarily, it's because it's designed to work for teams. Existing note apps are mostly built for individual usage and have sharing features bolted on.

Slite's value proposition is strongest in a mid-sized company, where you can model the organizational structure within the product.
