Which one should you pick?
Pick Air if
You’re building around visual small teams. Air is the creative-team DAM most often described as 'Pinterest, but for your team's brand assets'. The product is genuinely well-designed, unlimited seats on every plan, AI-tagging, and easy visual search.
Pick Notion if
You’re building around content workflows. Notion is where most podcast teams park guest packets, run-of-show docs, and editorial calendars. The free tier is fine for solos; the moment you collaborate seriously, Notion-tax kicks in, and AI features are now gated behind the $20 Business plan whether you want them or not.

Frequently asked
What does Air do better than Notion?
Air's standout is "Unlimited seats on every plan". Notion doesn't make that promise — it leans into "Wildly flexible: wiki, tracker, and database in one" instead. If the first sentence describes your workflow, pick Air; if the second does, pick Notion.
What are the trade-offs?
Air: recent price increases stung smaller teams. Notion: search is famously slow at scale. Whether either matters depends entirely on what you actually need — neither is a deal-breaker by itself.
Do they support the same platforms?
Notion works on Windows, iOS, Android where Air doesn't. If you're on a specific OS or device, that may decide for you.
Can I use Air and Notion together?
Both are asset sharing tools so most teams pick one. Some workflows do combine them — for example, using Air for one show or episode type and Notion for another. Worth trying both free tiers before committing.
