Notion
Notes, docs, and lightweight databases in one workspace.
Notion is a connected workspace: pages for writing, databases for tracking, and wikis for the stuff a team keeps repeating. It is a reasonable home for a solo operator’s notes and a small company’s operating system, as long as someone is willing to decide how pages are organized.
The Free plan covers individual use. Plus, the first paid tier, is listed at $10 per member per month when billed annually. Business is listed at $20. Those figures are the annual USD prices on Notion’s pricing page as checked on October 15, 2026.
Pick Notion when the work is shared documents plus light structure. If you want files that stay on your machine as Markdown, look at Obsidian instead.
Pros
- Flexible pages that mix documents, databases, and tasks
- The Free plan is enough for many personal workspaces
- Familiar to clients, so a shared page often needs no tutorial
Cons
- Large workspaces get slow and messy without a clear structure
- Offline use is limited compared with a local-first notes app
- Per-member pricing adds up once a team is on Plus or Business
