NotionLock vs Sotion

Sotion is a website builder with access control baked in. NotionLock is access control without the website builder.

Most "password protect Notion" tools — Sotion, Super, Potion, Simple.ink — are website builders first. Password protection is one feature inside a bigger product you're expected to adopt (and pay monthly for). That's great if you want the whole platform. It's overkill if you just want a password on a link.

On Sotion, password protection is not in the entry plan. The Basic plan ($7/month) has no access control. To get password-protected pages you need the Starter plan at $27/month. That's the real cost of "password protect Notion" with Sotion.

The takeaway isn't "Sotion is expensive." It's that you're paying for a full portal platform. If you use the portal, branding, analytics and memberships, $27+/month is fair. If all you wanted was a password, you're paying for a lot you won't touch.

We'd rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one and churn. Choose Sotion if you need:

• A branded client portal with your own domain, logo, colors and SSL.
• Per-client / per-page access — each client logs in and sees only their own content, filtered automatically from your workspace.
• Paid memberships gating content behind Stripe payments.
• Analytics on who viewed what.
• An ongoing, living site that updates as you edit in Notion.

Sotion is a mature platform built for teams running real membership or client-portal operations. If that's you, it's a strong choice and we won't pretend otherwise.

Choose NotionLock if:

• You just need a password on a Notion link — fast, no website to build.
• You share occasionally, not continuously — a proposal, a document, a portfolio sent to one client at a time.
• You don't want a subscription — the lifetime option means you pay once and never think about it again.
• You want to try before paying — the free tier lets you actually use it, not just demo it for 7 days.
• Simplicity is the point — no domain setup, no branding config, no learning curve.

The whole idea: you shouldn't need to adopt a $27/month website platform just to stop a Notion link from being public.

Ask yourself one question: do you want a portal, or do you want a password?

If the answer involves your own domain, multiple clients with separate logins, branding, or recurring content — you want a portal. Look hard at Sotion.

If the answer is "I have a Notion page and I want to share it without it being open to the world" — you want a password. That's NotionLock, and it'll take you about half a minute.
