# A Notion Alternative for Project Management

Last updated November 14, 2026

Glidely is a Notion alternative for teams that mostly need to run their work: a kanban board, a calendar and team chat that are ready on day one, with docs beside them and one flat price for the account instead of a price per member.

## In short

- Price: Free plan; Pro $8 a month for up to 15 people, not per member
- Ready on day one: A board, a chat channel and a calendar in every new workspace
- Views on Free: Board, table, calendar and timeline

## Why teams look for a Notion alternative for projects

Notion is a flexible workspace for docs, wikis and databases you design yourself. Many teams love it for writing. For running projects, some find they spend more time building and maintaining their own task system than using it, and that the bill grows with every member who joins.

## A task board that works on day one

Every Glidely workspace starts with a [kanban board](https://glidely.site/kanban-board) and a #general channel. Cards carry an owner, a due date, a checklist, labels and files, and every board switches between Board, Table, Calendar and Timeline. There is nothing to design first: invite the team and start adding cards. Start from a [template](https://glidely.site/board-templates) if you want a head start.

## Team chat beside the work

Glidely has [team chat](https://glidely.site/team-chat) in every workspace: channels, private channels and direct messages that open beside the board, plus comments on each card. Notion is built around pages, with comments and discussions on them; its pricing page lists no channels or direct messages.

## Docs where you need them

Glidely has Docs too: plans, briefs and meeting notes next to the boards, with headings, to-dos and linked cards that show whether they are done. They are made for the documents a project needs, not for a company-wide wiki.

## One price for the account, not per member

Notion’s paid plans are priced per member: Plus is $10 and Business $20 per member per month on its pricing page, with up to 20% off for paying yearly. Glidely is priced per account: Pro is $8 a month for up to 15 people per workspace, and Max is $20 a month with no member limit. For a team of 10, Notion Plus comes to about $100 a month; Glidely Pro stays $8.

## Where Notion is the better fit

Notion is the stronger tool for wikis, long documents and databases shaped exactly the way you want, and its free plan lets one person add as many pages and blocks as they like. It has a large library of templates, Notion AI, and apps on every platform. On the free plan, teams of two or more get a limited number of blocks, file uploads up to 5 MB and 7 days of page history. If your team lives in documents, Notion may suit you better. If you mainly need to see who is doing what and by when, with chat beside it at a flat price, try Glidely.
