Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 17 of the 86 other docs and wiki tools we grade
Notaku publishes websites from Notion pages: docs, help centers, blogs, changelogs and roadmaps. Content stays in Notion, and Notaku adds hosting, search and a custom domain. Plans are priced by the number of Notion pages and seats.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Notaku, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You build the content in Notion and then connect it, so there is setup.

The report card
Best for turning Notion pages into a docs site
Notaku publishes Notion pages as a docs site or help center with search and a custom domain. But plans cap how many pages you can publish, from 20 to 2,000, and password protection, feedback and subdirectory hosting sit on higher plans.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $17 a month for Basic, with the category's middle at $19. Features like password protection sit on Business at $37 for 150 pages. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free plan with 20 Notion pages on a notaku.site subdomain, a cap you will reach quickly. No free trial of the paid features. |
| Features | C | Hosts Notion pages with search, versions and feedback. The listing shows gaps: page caps on every plan and custom domain only from Basic. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You build the content in Notion and then connect it, so there is setup. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web product that connects to Notion, with Cloudflare and Next.js named, and a public API. No desktop or phone app. |
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 Notaku is for
- Fits if your team already writes its docs in Notion and wants them on a public site
- Works for small help centers under 50 pages
Who it is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 20 pages on a notaku.site address
- Pricey if you want password protection or user feedback, which start on Business at $37
- Skip it if you need hosting under a subdirectory like /docs, which is Business Plus at $97
- Watch out: there is no free trial of paid features, only a 30-day refund window per the FAQ

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 Notaku you would be making a search engine with an AI model behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 53 of the 86 other docs and wiki tools grade higher. It costs $204 a year.
What you could make
- Documents and wiki: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A search engine with an AI model behind it.
- It plugs into other products, Notion, Cloudflare and Next.js among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Notaku’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.
