Which one is for you
Pick Sanity if
- Fits if you have developers and want content kept apart from the site
- Works for a free project with up to 20 seats
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a site you can build without code, as the front end is separate
- Watch out: past the included usage, API requests, bandwidth and assets are billed on top
- Pricey if you want support or datasets: dedicated support is $799 a month and extra datasets $999 each
- Tight if you need SSO, custom roles or the Media Library, which are Enterprise only
Pick Super if
- Fits if you already write and organize everything in Notion
- Works for docs, a blog or a personal site that should update as you edit in Notion
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you don't use Notion, as Super has no page editor of its own
- Pricey if you want visitor stats, as analytics is an add-on from $10 a month, rising to $400 at 20 million views
- Too light for an online shop, since there's no store in the listing
- Watch out: each paid site is billed separately, only one free site can be active, and team seats are $5 a member a month
- Tight if you need redirects, hidden pages or multiple languages, which wait for Pro at $22 a month

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
