Notaku

What it is

Notaku uses Notion as a CMS to publish professional docs websites, blogs, changelogs, roadmaps, help desks, and single-page sites. The product is aimed at teams who already write in Notion and want to publish that content as a polished website without duplicating work or learning a separate CMS. Notaku's home page says it can "save 500+ hours of dev work." Its FAQ answers the question of who is behind it with "I am Tommy, a software engineer living in Italy."

What you build and how

Notaku creates a publishing pipeline from Notion to your own domain. You write and edit content in Notion, and Notaku syncs and renders it as a professional website. The platform publishes 5 types of sites, all from the same subscription. Documentation sites keep your product docs centralized and accessible. Blog sites publish articles, with full support for author bylines and tags. Changelog sites track releases and updates. Roadmap sites show your product direction and let users vote on features. Help desk sites hold support articles and guides. You can also build single-page sites from Notion content.

All content stays in Notion. Team members can edit and publish with the same Notion permissions and collaboration features they already use. Changes in Notion automatically sync to your published site hourly, and you can update any time.

On the design and UX side, Notaku says it renders Notion blocks with its own codebase rather than an open-source library, and that its sites are designed for mobile and desktop alike. Notaku websites are hosted on a CDN and built with speed in mind. Search is built in and described as very fast. Notaku automatically generates social media images for your links. Dark mode and custom backgrounds are supported.

You can customize sites beyond Notion's visual design. The higher-tier plans include advanced customization, custom JavaScript and CSS injection, full-text search, password protection, and an embeddable widget so you can embed your docs or knowledge base in your own app. Versions are supported, letting you publish multiple versions of a site connected to different Notion pages (for example, v1 and v2 documentation). You can host on a subdomain, or on a subdirectory such as /docs or /help, which the pricing table places on Business Plus.

The platform supports collecting feedback on pages, both rating and text. It can also collect visitors' email addresses and send weekly summary emails. Advanced features include semantic search so users can ask questions and get answers from your Notion content.

Pricing is plan-based and the pricing table notes that VAT is not included. The free plan offers 20 Notion pages on a notaku.site subdomain. The Basic plan is $17 per month for 50 pages, 1 seat, custom domain, basic customization, and basic search. Business is $37 per month for 150 pages, 5 seats, custom domain, advanced customization, custom JavaScript and CSS, user feedback, password protection, full-text search, and an embeddable widget. Business Plus is $97 per month for 2,000 pages, unlimited seats, all Business features, plus versions and auto sync. For multi-language sites, the feature list says you can write content in multiple languages in different Notion pages.

Notaku counts Notion pages and database items with content as part of your plan limit. Empty pages don't count, and pages connected as versions are not counted but must be below the plan limit. The FAQ says that after you exceed the limit, "Only part of your Notion pages will be synced."

The platform supports most Notion blocks, and the site links a demo of the supported ones.

You can inject custom code to add your own analytics or tracking services, giving you flexibility beyond Notaku's built-in features.

The FAQ says you can try Notaku without a subscription but need to buy one to get Pro features, and that you can be refunded within 30 days of purchase.

Features and plans in the company's words

Notaku uses Notion as CMS. The site states "Notaku uses Notion as CMS for your docs, blog, changelog and roadmap" and "Turn Notion into a professional docs website."

The platform can create docs websites, blogs, changelogs, roadmaps, help desks, and single-page sites: "Notaku can create all the necessary websites for your product" covering "Documentation," "Help Desk," "Blog," "Changelog," "Roadmap," and "single page websites."

It saves development time: the site claims it can "Save 500+ hours of dev work" and invites visitors to "join 1000+ happy companies."

Team editing happens in Notion: "All your team members can edit and publish new content super fast" with Notion as the CMS.

Sync: "Notaku has a serverless infrastructure that syncs Notion pages on demand, spawning up to 1000 machines just to sync your Notion pages. Notaku will sync your Notion data every hour." The same page headlines the speed as 300 pages in 1 minute and lists a sync time of 20 seconds for 100 pages.

Design features include "Dark mode," "Custom backgrounds," and "Auto generated social media images." Search is "Super fast search Notaku websites have very fast search built in. Your users will be able to find what they are looking for in seconds."

Hosting: "Notaku websites are built with speed in mind. We host your websites in a CDN, fast and reliable."

Advanced features on higher tiers: "Advanced Customization," "Custom JavaScript & CSS," "User Feedback," "Password Protection," "Full text search," "Embeddable Widget."

Multi-language support: "Multi language You can write your content in multiple languages in different Notion pages."

Additional features: "Collect feedback," "Send emails," "Ask AI and Semantic Search," and "Multiple Versions." On SEO, the home page says many users "found their organic traffic doubled after integrating Notaku."

For Notion blocks, "Notaku supports most blocks from Notion, you can take a look at a demo showing supported blocks here." Users can "inject custom code, for example to add your own analytics service."

Pricing:

• Free: 20 Notion pages, notaku.site subdomain, $0/month
• Basic: 50 Notion pages, 1 seat, custom domain, basic customization, basic search, $17/month
• Business: 150 Notion pages, 5 seats, custom domain, advanced customization, custom JavaScript & CSS, user feedback, password protection, full-text search, embeddable widget, $37/month
• Business Plus: 2,000 Notion pages, unlimited seats, plus versions and auto sync, $97/month

The FAQ states "Notaku only needs 1 Notion database to store your blog data instead of different databases for tags, authors, etc. Notaku simply uses a select property for tags and the built in User type property for authors."

Page counting: "All Notion pages and database items with content inside (not empty pages) are counted. Notion pages connected as versions are not counted but must be below the plan limit."

Refund policy: "If you are not satisfied you can be refunded within 30 days of purchase."

The company is "Tommy, a software engineer living in Italy."

The home page carries testimonials from people at polkamarkets.com (COO Alexandre Solleiro), replay.io (CEO Jason Laster), formcarry.com (its founder) and usenimbus.com (co-founder Nish Ithayakumar).

Who it suits and who it doesn't

Notaku suits teams already using Notion for documentation and content management, since Notion stays the place where content is written. Product teams launching a public roadmap with voting and page feedback have both on the same plan. Content teams running blogs can write in Notion and publish to their own domain. Support teams can keep a help desk site fed from Notion pages.

Notaku is built for content sites: docs, blog, changelog, roadmap, help desk and single-page sites, not stores, checkout or application logic. If your team is not already in Notion, the model has little to offer, because Notion is the only CMS. The page-count limits matter as documentation grows: Business at $37 per month covers 150 pages, and the next step is Business Plus at $97 per month for 2,000 pages.
