Fabric vs Notion

Fabric

• People who want notes, files and bookmarks searchable in one place
• Designers finding saved visual references by color or image
• Freelancers and small teams sharing work with clients as published spaces

Notion

• Teams that want docs, a wiki and project tracking in one workspace
• Individuals who want a free personal workspace with unlimited pages
• Building custom trackers and dashboards from databases

Fabric

• The pricing page lists only paid plans; a free plan is mentioned elsewhere on the site, but its limits are not published.
• AI usage is metered and resets monthly, and going past a plan's allowance means buying top-ups.
• The vendor does not offer refunds, although a plan can be cancelled at any time.
• Desktop file sync works on macOS and Windows only, and the mobile app has no kanban or list view.

Notion

• Notion Agent, AI Meeting Notes and Enterprise Search are only a limited trial on Free and Plus; full access starts at Business.
• The Free plan limits blocks once a second member joins, caps file uploads at 5 MB and keeps 7 days of page history.
• There is no Linux desktop app; Notion points Linux users to the browser version.
• Custom Agents run on Notion credits, an add-on for Business and Enterprise priced at $10 per 1,000 monthly credits.

Fabric

Notes, files and links in one library

Stores notes, documents, PDFs, images, video, audio and saved links together, organized into spaces and folders or simply left for search to find.

Search by meaning, color or image

Finds items by description instead of file name, searches inside documents and audio or video transcripts, and matches images by color or by a reference image.

AI assistant and agents

The assistant answers from your own content with citations, and named agents run scheduled jobs: up to 10 on Pro and up to 50 on Max.

Meeting and voice notes

Records meetings and voice notes, transcribes them and keeps the key points. The desktop app detects when a meeting starts and offers to transcribe it.

Canvas, tasks and kanban

An infinite canvas lays out any saved content side by side, and tasks carry priorities, due dates and reminders, with a kanban view for tracking progress.

Cloud drive and publishing

The desktop app mounts Fabric as a drive and streams files on demand, and any space can be published as a link that needs no login to view.

Notion

Docs and pages

Pages hold text, media and embeds. Several people can edit the same page, leave comments and @-mention each other.

Databases

Databases organize hundreds or thousands of items such as projects or tasks. Charts are limited to 1 on Free, and database automations start on Plus.

Wikis

A knowledge base keeps team documentation in one place. Private teamspaces for restricting access need the Business plan.

Notion Agent, Meeting Notes and Search

The AI agent, meeting transcription with summaries and search across connected apps are included from Business. Free and Plus get a limited trial.

Forms and Sites

Collect responses into a database and publish pages to the web. Custom forms start on Plus, conditional logic on Business, and custom domains are billed per domain.

Offline pages

The desktop and mobile apps can view, edit and create pages offline. Free users pick pages to download; paid plans also download recent and favorite pages automatically.
