Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AgencyPro vs Notion

Can Notion replace a dedicated agency management tool?

Notion is flexible and powerful, but requires significant manual setup to replicate agency workflows—you must build databases, automations, and templates from scratch. AgencyPro has pre-built agency workflows: client portals, project delivery, billing, and approvals out of the box.

Does Notion offer a client portal?

Notion allows sharing pages publicly or with guests, but there is no dedicated client portal with billing, file proofing, or approvals. AgencyPro provides a white-labeled client portal where clients view projects, pay invoices, and access documents in a professional branded experience.

How does pricing compare between AgencyPro and Notion?

Notion uses per-seat pricing: Free (limited), Plus $10/user/mo, Business $18/user/mo. AgencyPro offers flat monthly pricing with unlimited users on higher tiers. For agencies with larger teams, AgencyPro often provides better value and predictability.

Does Notion have built-in invoicing or time tracking?

No. Notion has no native invoicing or time tracking. You would need to integrate tools like QuickBooks, Toggl, or Harvest. AgencyPro includes both built-in time tracking and invoicing with payment processing—no extra tools required.

Should I use Notion and AgencyPro together?

Yes. Many agencies use Notion for internal wikis, docs, and knowledge base while using AgencyPro for client management, billing, and project delivery. AgencyPro integrates with Zapier and offers an API for connecting with other tools.

AgencyPro vs Notion: Which Is Right for Your Agency?

Notion is a flexible workspace for notes, wikis, databases, and docs that teams customize to fit their needs. AgencyPro is a structured agency management platform with purpose-built workflows. Notion gives you a blank canvas; AgencyPro gives you a ready-to-use system for running client services.

The key strategic difference: Notion requires you to build your agency management system from scratch using databases and templates, while AgencyPro provides structured workflows for client management, billing, and project delivery out of the box.

If your agency uses Notion as an internal knowledge base and wiki, keep it — Notion excels there. But if you're trying to run client projects, billing, and time tracking inside Notion databases, you're building a project management tool from scratch. AgencyPro provides all of this out of the box without the ongoing maintenance of custom database views.

Who Should Choose Notion?

  • Agencies that need a knowledge base, wiki, and documentation system for internal use
  • Teams that want to build custom databases and workflows from a blank canvas
  • Creative teams that value free-form documentation and notes alongside project work

Who Should Choose AgencyPro?

  • Agencies that tried building PM systems in Notion and outgrew their custom setup
  • Teams that need time tracking, invoicing, and client portals — not just project boards
  • Agency owners who want structured workflows instead of maintaining custom database views

Bottom line: if your agency bills clients, manages projects, and wants a branded client experience without juggling multiple subscriptions, AgencyPro is the more complete choice. If notion already covers your needs and you don't require integrated billing or client portals, it remains a capable tool for its intended purpose.
