A Notion alternative for real documentation sites

Notion is a flexible workspace. Zuwiki turns your docs into a proper site with protected access, API reference, changelog and your own domain included.

Which tool fits your team?

Zuwiki and Notion both publish documentation, but they are built for different teams. Here is our honest take.

Choose Zuwiki if

  • Your docs need a password, an email domain or a Discord server to unlock.
  • You want a real docs site with search, navigation, API reference and changelog.
  • Your own domain should be included instead of being a paid add on.

Choose Notion if

  • Your team already plans projects, notes and databases in Notion.
  • Your docs are mainly internal and flexible databases matter more than a public site.
  • You want one tool for docs, tasks and AI across the whole company.
