Notion alternative
Notion is great for documentation and databases. It isn't mail, calendar, chat or meetings — and that's what the team uses all day.

Where Notion is better
- Database and view flexibility almost no other tool reaches.
- A huge community, with templates for everything.
- An excellent document editor for people who write a lot.
Where Beskos wins
- Wiki by spaces with per-group or per-person permissions, wired to the assistant via RAG.
- Knowledge sits next to the mail and the tasks that produced it.
- AI included, with no extra per-seat charge.
- It's also your mail, your calendar and your meetings.
In short
Teams using Notion as the company database will miss its flexibility. Teams using it as a wiki and boards get the same inside Beskos, without another subscription.
