Notion bills per member: $10 or $20 per person per month, and the features an operation needs (row-level permissions, full automations, Notion AI) sit on the $20 Business plan. Jestor is a flat monthly fee with unlimited users on every plan. Add the whole warehouse, every supplier and every field team. The invoice doesn’t move.
In Notion, someone on your team becomes the builder, and the system decays when they get busy. “Steep learning curve” is the most common complaint tag in Notion’s G2 reviews. With Jestor, our team maps the process, builds the apps, imports your data and keeps building on a fixed review cadence. You request, we ship.
Notion is superb at customizing pages. Jestor customizes the system underneath: tables, fields, permissions, automations and apps. Need a new field, a new approval stage, a new automation? Say it in Claude, Cursor or the prompt box, or ask our team. The AI inherits your permissions and every change is logged, human or AI.
