What you give up vs Notion
- Younger project with a smaller feature set than Confluence.
- No database/table views or relational content like Notion.
- Some enterprise features (SSO/SAML) are gated to a paid edition.
- Smaller integration and extension ecosystem.
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Docmost on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Notion: per-seat pricing that climbs fast for teams).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (AGPL-3.0).
