Pros & Cons
What We Like

Individual users get unlimited pages and blocks for free, making it perfect for personal use and solo freelancers.

What Could Be Better
Steep learning curve
The flexibility that makes Notion powerful also means new users often feel overwhelmed by the blank canvas and endless possibilities.
Performance issues with large databases
Databases with thousands of entries can become sluggish, especially when using complex filters and rollups.
Limited offline functionality
While basic offline editing exists, syncing can be unreliable and some features require an internet connection.
