Hilla vs Notion
Notion is the best blank canvas to write whatever you want. Hilla is a canvas that already knows what a project looks like.
Notion is for…
Notion is for documentation, wikis, and lightweight tracking. Pages, databases, templates, infinite flexibility. Build whatever you want from scratch.
Hilla is for…
Hilla is for projects, with opinions. Cards, sprints, dependencies, live data, and AI planning are first-class — not a database you have to build yourself.

When to use Notion
Pick Notion when you need docs, a wiki, or a team handbook more than you need a project tool. Its flexibility is the feature — you can model anything. For knowledge and prose, it's hard to beat.
When to use Hilla
Pick Hilla when you want the project structure to be there already. You shouldn't have to build a “projects database” before writing the first task. And no Notion view will pull in live deploys, errors, or revenue. The canvas does that out of the box.
