Learn more about how Nuclino compares to Notion and choose the best tool for your team.
Nuclino or Notion — which tool is right for you?
Notion is endlessly customizable — but the more options you have, the longer it takes to set everything up. Instead of focusing on meaningful work, you end up fiddling with settings.
We built Nuclino for those who don't want to overcomplicate their workflows.
A simple and fast solution that has everything you need and nothing you don't.

Needless complexity slows you down
Getting to know the intricacies of Notion is a full-time job. I wanted to share notes with my team, not pick header images, emojis, and layouts from seemingly infinite options!
Impressed by the functionality and possibilities of Notion, overwhelmed by the steep learning curve. So. Very. Complex. I'm a developer and I constantly felt overwhelmed.
At times, when more than one team member is on the same page in Notion, it tends to slow the performance of the browser quite a bit.
A simpler way to collaborate
For teams who don't want to spend their time tinkering with settings or staring at loading screens.
