But to start, I evaluated all the apps I tested using the same criteria:ĭocument and note-taking features. Ideally, a great Notion alternative gives you the freedom to create your own productivity system-your network of documents, databases, and references-without forcing an inflexible user experience on you.Ī bit like a sandbox video game, this app category (which doesn't really have a name yet, but I've seen Work OS and Digital Workspace rising as possible ones) gives you the possibility to mix and combine different elements to create your or your team's all-in-one workspace.Įach of the picks on this list has something unique to offer, along with some twists on the original experience you're used to. For more details on our process, read the full rundown of how we select apps to feature on the Zapier blog.
We're never paid for placement in our articles from any app or for links to any site-we value the trust readers put in us to offer authentic evaluations of the categories and apps we review. We spend dozens of hours researching and testing apps, using each app as it's intended to be used and evaluating it against the criteria we set for the category. All of our best apps roundups are written by humans who've spent much of their careers using, testing, and writing about software.
