Switch from Notion to Workel. Docs and tasks, with the team talking beside them.
Notion is a flexible place to build your own wiki and databases. Workel is for teams that want projects ready to use, with chat and calls next to the docs.
Which one fits your team. An honest answer, both ways.
Pick Workel if
- You want the team to talk where the work is: chat with channels and direct messages
- You want video calls built in: one-to-one on every paid plan, groups on Max
- You want projects ready to use: a board, a list and a calendar from the first click
- You keep files in folders, not inside pages
- You want a shared calendar for the team's events, next to the work
Stay with Notion if
- You build your own system: databases you can see as a table, board, timeline, calendar, gallery or chart
- You keep a company wiki, with verified pages on Business and Enterprise
- You start from templates: Notion has more than 30,000
- You publish pages as a website with Notion Sites (custom domains from Plus)
What Workel doesn't do yet: time tracking, rule-based automations, guest accounts for people outside your team, or phone apps (iOS and Android are coming soon).
Workel and Notion, side by side. What each covers, and what it costs.

Prices are a month, in US dollars. Workel's come from our pricing page.
Moving over from Notion. Bring your task databases with you.
Do it yourself
- 1
In Notion, open the database with your tasks, click the ••• menu, choose Export and pick Markdown & CSV.
- 2
In Workel, open Settings, then Import / export, choose Notion and drop the file in.
- 3
Upload the .zip, or the CSV inside it. The Status property becomes board columns, and rows marked Done import as finished.
We do it for you
Or let us move it.
Years of history or a messy setup? Send us your Notion export. We'll map it, run the move, and walk through the result with you before your team logs in, free.
Switching from Notion? Straight answers, before you start.
Yes. Export the database with your tasks from Notion as Markdown & CSV, then import it in Workel under Settings, Import / export. Each row becomes a task, the Status property becomes board columns, and rows marked Done import as finished.
Not yet. Workel's Notion import reads a task database, not pages or wikis. Copy over the pages you still use, or send us your export and we'll help you move them.
Workel is free for up to 2 people, with no card needed. Pro is $8 a person a month ($7 billed yearly). Notion's cheapest paid plan was Plus, $12 a person a month ($10 billed yearly) when we checked its pricing page on 19 October 2026.
When your team mostly writes and organizes: wikis, reference pages and custom databases you design yourself. Workel is the better fit when the team also needs to talk, meet and run projects in the same place.
