Notion vs Slab

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

Slab

• Teams of up to 10 that want a free internal wiki
• Companies that want one place to search docs and connected tools
• Non-profits and schools, which can get the Startup plan free

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.

Slab

• The Free plan stops at 10 users and has no private topics, no custom domain and no AI features.
• SAML-based SSO, SCIM, the API and webhooks need Business at $12.50 per user / month billed annually; audit logs are Enterprise only.
• Slab has no read-only accounts: billing counts every user who can log in, and guests are capped at 3 or 5 per user below Enterprise.
• The downloads page offers desktop apps for Mac and Windows and a Chrome extension, but lists no mobile apps.

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.

Slab

Posts and Topics

Content is written as posts and grouped into Topics, which organize related posts and give readers context. Posts and topics are unlimited on every plan.

Real-time editor and templates

The editor applies consistent formatting by default and lets several people work on a post at once. Templates are included on every plan.

Unified Search

One search box returns results from Slab content and from the tools connected to it, so answers stored elsewhere surface in the same list.

Post verification

A published post can be given a verifier and a review interval. A banner shows who verified it and when that expires, and verifiers are reminded to recheck it.

AI Autofix, Predict and Ask

Slab lists three AI capabilities: AI Autofix from the Startup plan, and AI Predict and AI Ask from Business. The Free plan includes none of them.

Integrations, API and webhooks

Standard integrations such as Slack, GitHub and Google Workspace are capped at 10 on Free. The GraphQL API, webhooks and premium integrations start on Business.
