NotionApps

NotionApps is a no-code app builder that turns Notion databases into apps, portals and a process layer. The tagline on its pages is "Build apps from Notion databases and automate the work around them". It is aimed at teams that already run their work in Notion and want to give clients, vendors, members or field staff a real login and screens, without inviting them into the workspace. The footer credits Kintevo LLC, Georgia, USA, and states plainly that the product is not affiliated with Notion.

What you build and how

The data layer is Notion itself. The homepage's three steps are Connect Notion, Configure the app and Publish and share. In step one, you "Link the pages and databases you already run. No migration", and the page adds that Notion stays where the data lives. Nothing is copied into a second database. Two-way sync keeps it that way: updates in the app write back to Notion, and updates in Notion show up in the app, which the homepage frames as "no duplicate systems of record".

Editor. The features page describes an "Intuitive App Builder": "Drag and drop to build production-quality apps with a live preview and instant publishing." You add screens, login, forms and branding, then set who can open the app and what each person can see. Apps are "Responsive by Default" and look right on desktop, tablet and mobile.

Portals. This is the membership that matters most for readers coming from the portals page. The homepage says "Clients, vendors, field teams, and members get a real app, login, screens, and mobile install, without guest seats or a shared workspace." Login works through email one-time codes or Google Sign-In, and user data is stored in Notion. Row-level permissions let every signed-in user open the same app while seeing only their own records. Two portal templates are named: a Client Portal, where clients manage projects, request projects, add feedback and access resources, and a Student Portal for browsing courses, tracking progress and submitting assignments.

Forms. You can build forms with different input components that add new items or update existing ones in your Notion databases, with validation and conditional logic.

Automation. The pricing FAQ calls Automation "the business-process layer for NotionApps" and says it combines Workflow, Messaging and Approval Management. The features page describes it as triggering workflows, notifications, approvals and operational follow-up when users submit, update or move work forward. The pricing table lists the measured units: Active Workflow Routes and Monthly Automation Runs.

Branding and delivery. You can change the app icon, color theme, name and URL, publish to a web link or a custom domain, and let users install the app as a PWA on Android and iOS home screens, "no app store needed". Custom Domain, Custom Font and Custom CSS appear as plan features, and the FAQ says supported plans can use custom CSS and custom fonts.

Integrations. The homepage says Google Login, Crisp and Intercom are among the first integrations. It does not give a count or a full list, so there is nothing more to promise here. The features page also mentions custom code among the things you can add, without saying how.

Templates. The templates page lists 22 in total, split into 2 automation-ready and 20 data app templates. Named examples include Bug Tracker, Catalogue (product showcase with search and barcode scanning), Client Portal, Clinic (consultations and lab tests), Student Portal and Task Tracker. The footer also names Member Portal, Employee Directory, Sales CRM and Field Operations. Separate live demos on the Live Demos page are sandbox apps, for example a Procurement Approval Desk and a Customer Refund Approval flow marked "Coming sandbox", plus a timecard flow marked as a cloneable template.

Notion tooling. For readers sorting by Notion tooling, the pricing page says the product "works even if you are on a free plan on Notion", and the homepage says the app is "a branded app you can share". The pricing page adds that it uses Notion's public API.

Evidence from the pages

The pricing page opens with "Build and share apps with your users for free" and "Pay only if you have more usage". Yearly billing is labeled "2 months free". The table lists these usage rows: Apps, Notion Databases, Database Pages, Properties, Page Content Blocks, Visitors, App Users, Workspaces, File Uploads and Two-way Sync, then Automation rows, then Features. The pages carry no prices, plan names or numeric limits for those rows, so a buyer has to open the pricing page to see them.

The FAQ states a 30% discount on all plans for students, non-profits and educational institutions, arranged by writing to the company. Custom plans for an agency or enterprise with higher usage are also arranged by contact, and the page mentions a website chat. "No credit card required" appears on the trial button.

The pages state no SOC 2, GDPR or HIPAA claims, no hosting region and no customer counts. Support resources named in the footer are Documentation, Community, Blog, a Product Roadmap and a "Hire an Expert" link, and there is an affiliate program.

Who it suits and who it does not

NotionApps suits a team whose records already live in Notion and who needs outsiders to see a slice of them. A freelancer sharing project status with clients, an operations team giving vendors a request screen, or a school-style program with a student portal all match the templates the company shows. The one-time-code or Google login and row-level permissions mean each outsider sees only their own rows. The two-way sync means the internal team keeps working in Notion as before.

It also suits small teams that want approvals and notifications around that data without building a backend. Two of the live demos, Procurement Approval Desk and Customer Refund Approval, are still labeled Coming sandbox, so the approval features deserve a trial before a team commits to them.

The limits follow from the design. The data must be in Notion, so a team on another database is outside the product. The pricing figures sit behind the pricing page, and there is no code export or self-hosting described on these pages. Integrations are a short named list rather than a catalog. Finally, because the product reads Notion through its public API, its behavior with very large databases is something to test during the trial; the pages give no size limits.
