Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 40 of the 104 other website and landing page builders we grade
HelpKit turns articles written in Notion into a hosted knowledge base on a custom domain. Plans are priced per site and differ by article count, languages and team seats. An optional AI chatbot add-on answers customer questions from the published articles.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about HelpKit, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You need Notion pages written and a domain connected.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $15 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $15 per site / month (billing basis of displayed price not confirmed).
- 3
You can try it first
7-day free trial, no credit card required
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Notion as the editor
Articles are written in Notion and published by HelpKit; most Notion blocks render, but calendars and databases are still limited.
- 6
Custom domain and branding
Every plan includes a custom domain with SSL, SEO settings and custom branding.
- 7
Search and access control
Basic search on Starter, full-text search and access protection from Business.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 40 of 104
That is against the other website and landing page builders we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $15 a site a month for Starter, above the category's $12 middle and inside its dearer quarter at $22. Business is $31 and Professional $79. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 7-day trial with no card, and no free plan. |
| Features | C | Custom domain, branding, search and access control. The gaps are the article caps, the paid AI add-on and Notion blocks that don't render yet. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You need Notion pages written and a domain connected. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, but it connects with Notion, Slack, Claude and ChatGPT. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Small teams that already keep documentation in Notion
- Startups wanting a branded help center in hours
- Support teams adding an AI answer bot to their articles
Worth knowing
- Prices are per site, and each plan caps articles at 25, 100 or 1,000.
- The AI chatbot is a separate $49 monthly add-on.
- Content stays in Notion, and some complex Notion block types are not yet rendered.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
