Potion.so alternatives
Potion styles Notion pages. Portalwith gates them.
Potion is built for making Notion look good in public. Portalwith is built for the opposite problem: showing each client a private, filtered slice of your Notion data.
TL;DR
- Potion is a Notion website builder; Portalwith is a Notion client portal builder.
- Portalwith works from your databases, so one portal can serve many clients.
- Clients log in with a magic link and never touch your Notion workspace.
Good to know
- If you want pixel-level CSS control on a public page, Potion is stronger.
- If anything on the page should be private per client, Potion cannot filter it.
- Both approaches leave Notion as the system of record.
