    WorkToDo vs Notion

    Notion is infinitely flexible. That's its weakness for a CRM. WorkToDo gives you 80% of what a Notion CRM offers without the maintenance tax.

    Who Notion is for

    Notion is a doc-and-database tool that many founders DIY into a CRM. The first 50 contacts feel great. The 200th feels like data entry.

    • ·You already live in Notion and want everything in one place.

    • ·You enjoy building / maintaining custom databases.

    Pick WorkToDo if…

    • You've already DIY'd a Notion CRM and stopped maintaining it after 2 weeks.
    • You want calendar auto-logging without writing custom integrations.
    • You want the Today panel (overdue / due / stale) without hand-rolling formulas.
