Notion vs Supernotes

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

Supernotes

• People who prefer short, atomic notes to long documents
• Students building linked revision notes, with a student discount
• Small groups sharing and editing notes together

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.

Supernotes

• The free Starter plan begins with 100 cards; once the limit is reached, no new cards can be created without earning more or upgrading.
• Website prices are charged in British pounds. The US App Store lists Unlimited at $11.00 a month or $99.00 a year.
• Notes are encrypted in transit and at rest but are not end-to-end encrypted.
• Each card has a soft limit of 1,200 characters, so long documents are split across cards.

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.

Supernotes

Notecards

Notes are short cards with a soft limit of 1,200 characters that can hold text, math equations, tables, images, code and checklists.

Hierarchy, links and graph

Cards can be arranged in a hierarchy and linked to one another, then explored in a 2D or 3D graph view or found with filters, search and sorting.

Real-time sharing

Share a card with other people, who can read it without a Supernotes account, or edit and comment in real time if they have one.

Apps on every platform

Web, Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android apps with sync included on the free plan, and notes can be created and edited offline.

AI tools

On the Unlimited plan, AI proofreads cards for typos and helps organize them.
