Best for a help centre from Notion pages
HelpKit publishes a Notion workspace as a help centre or docs site, from $15 a site a month. Each plan caps articles at 25, 100 or 1,000, the AI chatbot is a separate $49 add-on, and some Notion blocks don't render yet.
Who HelpKit is for
- Fits if your support articles are already in Notion
- Works for small SaaS teams that want a help centre under their own domain
Who HelpKit is not for
- Skip it if you don't want Notion, since it is the only editor
- Tight if you have many articles: 25 on Starter, 100 on Business, 1,000 on Professional
- Pricey if you want the AI chatbot, a separate $49 monthly add-on
- Watch out: prices are per site, and the billing basis isn't shown on the page

- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, but it connects with Notion, Slack, Claude and ChatGPT.

Keep HelpKit, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace HelpKit you would be making a builder that other people can use without writing code. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $180 a year.
What you could make
- Help center: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. HelpKit’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
