When to stay with Notion
Documented strengths from our Notion review — switching isn't always the right call:
- One platform replaces docs, wikis, project tracking, and an AI layer — reduces tool sprawl
- Free tier is genuinely unlimited for individual users, not a capped trial
- Relational databases are flexible enough to model CRMs, roadmaps, or content pipelines
