The Verdict
Make is built for power users and agencies, with a focus on scenarios and modules. Notion Sites targets knowledge bases and documentation sites and leads with page-publishing and custom-domains.
Both tools come in at similar price points ($10.59/mo for Make, $10/mo for Notion Sites), so pricing won't make the decision for you.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Make edges out on user ratings (4.5 vs 4). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Bottom line: Make has a slight overall edge — but if publish websites directly from notion pages matters most to you, Notion Sites may still be the right call.
