Notion's pricing hits hard when you're building a team. What starts as "just $8 per user" quickly becomes $120+ monthly once you need real features like unlimited file uploads, advanced permissions, and team collaboration. Add minimums and seat requirements, and suddenly you're paying for users who don't even use the tool.
TaskLoco takes a different approach — one simple price per person, no minimums, no tiers based on team size. You get unlimited notes, 10GB file storage, reminders, calendar, and team sharing without the complexity or the sticker shock.
TaskLoco Premium is regularly $9.99/month per person. Right now, charter members can lock in 50% off the regular price — forever. That means $4.99/month per person today. And if our price ever goes up, you still pay half. Always.
Code CHARTER50 auto-applies at checkout. First 500 spots only — once they're gone, this offer is gone permanently. Act fast while spots last.
Every Premium subscription includes unlimited notes, 10GB file storage, reminders, calendar, and team sharing. Each team member requires a separate subscription. 7-day free trial — no charge until day 8. Cancel anytime.

The Real Cost Breakdown
Notion's pricing structure is designed to extract maximum revenue as your team grows. The Plus plan at $8 per seat monthly seems reasonable until you realize it caps file uploads at 5MB per file. Need larger files? That's $15 per seat monthly for Team plan.
But here's where it gets expensive: Notion requires annual billing for the best rates and often has minimum seat requirements for enterprise features. A 10-person team pays $1,800 annually on Team plan just to get unlimited file uploads and advanced permissions.
With TaskLoco, that same 10-person team pays significantly less annually and gets reminders, calendar integration, and email notifications that Notion charges extra for or doesn't offer at all.
What You Actually Get for Your Money
Notion markets itself as an "all-in-one workspace" but charges separately for features most productivity apps include by default. Want to set reminders? That's a premium feature. Need email notifications? Extra cost. File size limits? Pay more to remove them.
TaskLoco Premium gives you unlimited notes, tasks, and calendar events plus 10GB file storage, email notifications, and reminder alerts — all included. No artificial restrictions to force you into higher pricing tiers.
The file storage alone makes TaskLoco competitive. Notion's 5MB file limit on the $8 plan forces most teams onto the $15 plan immediately. TaskLoco gives you 10GB from day one with options to add more storage as needed.
Team Collaboration Without the Team Tax
Notion's collaboration features come with hidden costs. Advanced permissions require the Team plan. Real-time collaboration works but gets slow with larger teams. API access? That's enterprise pricing only.
TaskLoco Premium includes team sharing, real-time updates, and email notifications for every subscriber. No permission tiers, no collaboration limits, no enterprise tax for basic team features.
The Chrome extension captures any webpage in one click and syncs across all devices instantly. Notion requires manual copying and pasting or expensive third-party integrations to achieve the same workflow efficiency.
Hidden Costs and Lock-In
Notion's true cost extends beyond monthly subscriptions. Template marketplace charges, integration costs, and the time investment to build complex databases add up quickly. Many teams spend weeks setting up Notion workflows that could work immediately in simpler tools.
TaskLoco works instantly — create notes, set reminders, share with team members. No database design, no template hunting, no workflow engineering required.
When you're ready to switch from Notion, TaskLoco's simple note structure makes migration straightforward. No complex database exports or workflow reconstruction needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is TaskLoco cheaper than Notion?
$9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
Can TaskLoco replace Notion for team collaboration?
TaskLoco Premium includes real-time team sharing, email notifications, and shared notes — covering most team collaboration needs. However, Notion offers more complex database functionality and advanced permissions if your team requires those specific features.
Does TaskLoco have Notion's database features?
No. TaskLoco focuses on notes, tasks, and reminders with file attachments. If you need custom databases, relations, formulas, or complex data structures, Notion is better suited for those requirements.
How does TaskLoco pricing work compared to Notion's seat-based model?
$9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
Can I import my Notion data to TaskLoco?
TaskLoco's simple note structure makes migration straightforward for basic content. However, complex Notion databases with custom fields and relations won't transfer directly — you'll need to simplify the data structure to fit TaskLoco's note-based approach.
Does TaskLoco work offline like Notion?
TaskLoco Lite works completely offline with no account required — storing up to 20 notes directly on your device. Notion requires internet connection for most functionality, though it offers limited offline access for previously loaded content.
What file storage limits does TaskLoco have vs Notion?
TaskLoco Premium includes 10GB file storage with no individual file size limits. Notion's Plus plan ($8/month) restricts files to 5MB each, while the Team plan ($15/month) removes size limits but costs significantly more per user.
