The Comparison
Feather vs. Notaku
Both turn a Notion workspace into a public site. Feather does one thing: a blog built to rank. Notaku splits that same idea across five products, docs, blog, changelog, roadmap, and help desk. Here's the actual difference once you get past the pitch.

$99/mo
Notaku's Business Pro plan, the only tier that supports a /blog subfolder on your own domain. You still have to do the technical setup yourself.

$15/mo
Feather's /blog subfolder add on, available starting on your first plan. No code, no tier upgrade required.

Who it's for
The honest answer
Time to first published post.
The moment you decided to start a blog vs. the moment Google actually sees a post. Real numbers.
Sign up. Point domain. Connect Notion database.
Write your post in Notion. That's the workflow.
Live at yourdomain.com/blog with schema, sitemap, Core Web Vitals green.
“Free” isn’t free.
Notaku is free like a puppy is free. Here's the real annual bill once you actually run it as a business.
Feather
One line item. That's it.
Notaku “self-hosted”
Typical mid-size marketing blog.
What actually happens on a Tuesday.
On Feather
You open Notion. You write.
You toggle the "Published" property.
The post is live at yourdomain.com/blog/your-post. Schema attached. Sitemap updated. Canonical set. Served from the edge. No page count to watch.
You start the next post.
On Notaku
You go to write a new post. First you decide: is this a docs page, a blog post, or a changelog entry? They start from the same Notion workspace, but Notaku treats them as separate products.
You publish it. You're at 19 of 20 pages on the free plan. One more post and you're upgrading.
You check the SEO settings for the post. There are meta tags and a sitemap. No schema markup, no programmatic SEO.
You look at the URL. It's yourname.notaku.site, not your own domain, because that's a paid plan too.
You write the next post anyway. That part's still easy, it's still Notion.
Be honest with yourself.
Notaku isn't wrong for everyone. But if any of these sound like you, Feather is the move.
Founder
You're starting a blog to bring in organic traffic, not a docs site that happens to have a blog template.
SEO manager
You want schema markup and programmatic SEO, not meta tags and a sitemap.
Growing team
You're publishing enough that a page count cap is a real ceiling, not a hypothetical.
Marketing lead
You want /blog on your root domain without setting it up yourself.
“As a non-technical person, I can write and publish without worrying about breaking anything.”

Already on Notaku?
Bring the blog. Drop the page cap.
Migration is a domain change, not a rebuild. Your content already lives in Notion, so it comes with you as is.
Point your domain
A single DNS change. Your blog moves to yourdomain.com/blog instead of a subdomain.
Preserve every URL
301 redirects mapped one to one. Any rankings and backlinks your subdomain built carry over.
Consolidate your authority
Once your blog sits in a subfolder, it starts passing link equity to your root domain instead of splitting it.
Publish next post in Notion
Same workflow you're already used to. Toggle a property, it's live, no page count to track.
The honest FAQ.
Is Feather really better than Notaku for a blog?
Yes. Feather is built for one thing, a blog that ranks. Notaku splits its focus across five products, docs, blog, changelog, roadmap, and help desk, so blogging is one template among many, not the specialty.
Will I lose my Google rankings if I migrate from Notaku?
No, if you preserve URLs, which we do with one to one 301 redirects. If you're moving from a notaku.site subdomain to a Feather subfolder, most teams see rankings improve, since the blog now consolidates authority with the root domain instead of splitting it.
Can Feather do everything Notaku can for a blog?
Yes. Schema markup, canonical tags, an auto updating sitemap, and programmatic SEO all ship on every Feather plan. Notaku covers the basics, meta tags, a sitemap, image alt text, but doesn't offer schema markup or programmatic SEO in its published feature list.
How much does Feather cost compared to Notaku?
Feather is $390 a year for the base plan, or $540 with the /blog subfolder add on, nothing else to buy. Getting a /blog subfolder on Notaku means the $99/mo Business Pro plan, about $1,188 a year, plus doing the technical setup yourself.
Does Notaku's free plan work for a real blog?
Not for long. Twenty pages sounds like enough until you're a few months into regular posting. No custom domain either, just a notaku.site subdomain, until you upgrade.
Write once. Never watch a page count.
