Notion
Docsie
This page is for teams that publish documentation or a help center. If you want a personal note app, Notion is fine and you can stop here. Teams usually look elsewhere when their docs have to reach customers on their own domain, need long version history, translations or full AI without upgrading every seat, or have to run outside a vendor's cloud. Here is what Notion costs today, where it stops, and which alternative fits. If you switch to Docsie, we move your Notion pages over for you.
For personal notes, keep Notion. For team documentation, the best Notion alternative depends on the job. To publish a help center or product docs on your own domain with versions, translations and training, pick Docsie. For a structured internal wiki next to Jira, pick Confluence. For developer docs synced with a Git repository, pick GitBook.
Pricing
Notion and Confluence charge per member. Docsie plans include a set number of seats, a knowledge base on your own domain and unlimited viewers on public portals. Prices checked 2026-11-15 on each vendor's own pricing page (Notion: www.notion.com/pricing; Confluence: www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/pricing) and docsie.io/pricing.
What a 15-person team pays
As of November 2026, Notion Plus for 15 people is $150 a month billed yearly (15 × $10), plus $8 a month for a custom domain, with Notion AI only as a trial and 30 days of page history. Notion Business, which adds full AI and SAML SSO, is $300 a month billed yearly (15 × $20). Docsie Premium is $170 a month billed yearly for 15 seats and includes unlimited portals on your own domains, AI chatbots on your docs, version control and 100+ languages.
Recommendation: If your team mainly writes internal notes and tracks projects, Notion Plus is the cheaper and more flexible tool. If the output is documentation other people read, such as customers, partners or field teams, compare against Docsie Premium.

Notion Questions
Q: How much does Notion cost?
A: As of November 2026, Notion Free is $0. Plus is $10 a member a month billed yearly or $12 billed monthly. Business is $20 a member a month billed yearly. Enterprise is a custom quote. Custom Agents are billed separately through Notion credits, and a custom domain for a Notion site is $8 a month per domain billed yearly or $10 monthly.
Q: Is Notion free?
A: Yes. As of November 2026, Notion Free limits file uploads to 5 MB each and keeps 7 days of page history, with one notion.site domain and Notion AI only as a trial. For personal notes it is usually enough.
Q: Does Notion include AI on every plan?
A: No. Full Notion AI is included only on Business and Enterprise (a change reported in May 2025). Free and Plus get a limited trial, so a Plus team that wants AI has to move every seat to Business.
Q: What is the best Notion alternative for documentation?
A: For personal notes, Notion is fine. For team documentation, Docsie fits teams that publish a help center or product docs on their own domain with versions and translations. Confluence fits teams that want an internal wiki next to Jira. GitBook fits developer docs kept in a Git repository.
Q: Can I host Notion docs on my own domain?
A: Yes, but a custom domain costs extra on every Notion plan, $8 a month per domain billed yearly as of November 2026. Docsie includes a knowledge base on your own domain on every plan, and Premium includes unlimited portals and domains.
Q: Can I move my Notion pages to Docsie?
A: Yes. If you switch, we migrate your existing Notion content into Docsie for you, so your pages arrive as editable, versioned articles in your knowledge base. If your Notion pages are already published as a public site, Website to Help Center can also move them in. Book a demo and bring a few pages; we will show them in Docsie on the call.
