Comparison
Notion vs ComingUp Today
Notion is a productivity workspace for docs, shared notes, shared lists, tasks, and databases. Calendar views in Notion are one way to visualize database items, but Notion is not a traditional calendar app. This comparison explains how Notion’s workspace-first organization differs from ComingUp Today’s calendar-first coordination: a shared, privacy-first “Coming Up” view across real calendars without editing events.
When to Use Notion
- You want an all-in-one workspace for docs, notes, and knowledge sharing.
- You want shared lists, task tracking, and project planning in the same place as your documentation.
- You want custom databases and dashboards with views (including calendar-style views) for planning.
- You want reminders and due dates tied to workspace tasks and items.
When ComingUp Today Helps
- You want a unified “Coming Up” view across real calendars (Google, Apple, Outlook).
- You want privacy-first shared visibility for households or teams without turning your schedule into a workspace database.
- You prefer a read-only schedule aggregation layer that doesn’t edit source calendars.
- You use Notion for notes/lists, but want a separate shared timeline view for upcoming events and availability.
