MySamantha vs Notion
Notion is a flexible workspace. MySamantha is a personal one.
Notion gives you enormous freedom to build databases, documents and collaborative systems. MySamantha takes a different approach: Notes, Tasks, Journal, Email and Calendar are already part of the product, with an optional assistant that can work across them.
Kitchen quotes
Three quotes in. Okafor & Sons is the cheapest, but their first free week is in May.
- Ask Okafor & Sons if they can start in April
- Book the electrician for a site visit
- Nothing yet. Turn a line of the note into a to-do.
Which one fits how you work.
Choose Notion if…
You want a highly configurable collaborative workspace, complex databases or team wikis.
Our table covers the features MySamantha is built around. Notion's strengths are in its depth, which a row of marks doesn't capture.
Choose MySamantha if…
You want a personal productivity environment that works out of the box and connects your everyday context. Samantha is optional inside it, and AI can be turned off completely.

The architectural difference
Notion starts as a blank canvas you shape into your own system. MySamantha ships as a finished personal workspace where Notes, Tasks, Journal, Email and Calendar are already connected, with an optional assistant layered on top.
A notes app that happens to have an assistant.
Documents, tables, backlinks, version history, web capture and search all work on their own. Samantha is there when you want her, and gone when you switch AI off.

Speak naturally and MySamantha turns your words into structured, readable notes with headings, paragraphs and key points.
Your notes organise themselves.

Can't remember where you wrote something? Ask Samantha, and she can find, summarise or open the note you need.
Moving over from Notion.
Import from Notion
Bring your Notion notes across with your folders intact. You can export your notes again at any time.
Run both while you decide
Many people keep Notion going while they settle in. Bring existing work into MySamantha at your own pace.
Can I use MySamantha alongside Notion?
Yes. Many people run both while they decide. Import tools and integrations help you bring existing work into MySamantha at your own pace.
How does pricing work?
Your plan pays for the MySamantha software. AI usage is separate: use supported AI access you already have, bring your own key, pay as you go, or turn AI off.
Do I have to use the AI?
No. Turn AI off and MySamantha remains a workspace for Notes, Tasks and Journal without AI features.
