Notion is the right pick when a team's project plans are as much about documents as about tasks. Projects and tasks live in databases that support subtasks, dependencies and custom properties, and the same workspace holds specs, wikis and meeting notes, with Notion Calendar for scheduling. The Free plan suits individuals, but pages and blocks are limited once 2 or more members join. Plus is for small teams and adds charts built from database data, custom forms and sites, and basic connections to tools like Slack and Google Drive. Business adds Notion Agent for multi-step tasks, AI Meeting Notes, Enterprise Search across connected apps, SAML SSO and private teamspaces. The tradeoff is structure: timelines and workload views require building database views yourself, so teams that mainly need a ready-made Gantt chart will set up faster in Asana or Wrike. Our location showed only EUR prices, so the USD price check is pending.
