Notion vs Saga

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

Saga

• Small teams keeping notes, docs and tasks in one workspace
• Groups of up to 3 people who can stay on the free plan
• People who want an AI writing assistant inside their notes

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.

Saga

• There is no dedicated mobile app: Saga says it works in mobile browsers and that an app is on its roadmap.
• The Free plan stops at 3 members per workspace, 5,000 AI words a month, 7 days of version history and 250 MB of file storage.
• The Business plan, with AI search across tools and the web, is marked as coming soon and takes waitlist sign-ups only.
• Paid plans are charged per member for each workspace, and Saga AI on them is subject to a fair-usage policy.

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.

Saga

Pages for notes and docs

A block editor for notes and documents with tables, media embeds, equations and an autocomplete menu for blocks, links and mentions.

Automatic linking and references

Saga recognizes what you type and cross-references it with existing pages, and a references view shows the connections across the workspace.

Saga AI

An assistant inside pages and tasks that drafts, rewrites, summarizes, checks grammar, translates into more than 20 languages and answers questions about mentioned pages.

Tasks and kanban view

Tasks created inside notes take assignees, priorities and deadlines, and are collected into one table or a drag-and-drop kanban board.

Real-time collaboration

Members edit pages and tasks together as Admins, Editors or Viewers, and pages or whole workspaces can be made public by link.

Google Drive and Linear integrations

Search and edit information from Google Drive and Linear inside Saga, and open Drive files side by side with pages. Free allows one of the two integrations; Standard includes both.
