EasyBoard vs Notion
Notion is a great wiki. It is a tolerable kanban. EasyBoard is a great kanban.
If your team lives in Notion docs, the temptation to also run your kanban there is real. The downside is everything that a project board needs (fast keyboard moves, real-time multiplayer, AI agents that drive the board, GitHub linking) Notion treats as second-class because they are not databases-and-docs. EasyBoard is the kanban-shaped tool. Keep Notion for the wiki.
What Notion is good at
A docs + databases hybrid that can be configured into a project board. Lots of people use Notion as their kanban because they already pay for Notion.
Pricing
Notion Plus: $10/user/month. Notion AI is $10/user/month extra. Ten people with AI: $2,400/year.
EasyBoard Team: $12/board/year, AI agent included.
Same team: ~$2,388 / year cheaper. And the AI is on the board, not a chatbot in the sidebar.

Why teams switch
Cards are first-class
In Notion, a card is a row in a database with a view applied. In EasyBoard, a card is a card. Priority, labels, assignee, comments, branches: first-class, indexed, filterable, draggable.
Your AI agent can actually move work
Notion AI summarizes. The EasyBoard agent reads the backlog, picks the next ticket, claims it, opens a GitHub branch, and closes it when the PR merges. Three different products in Notion's world.
Use Notion for docs, EasyBoard for shipping
Notion's superpower is the doc page. Keep it there. Link to it from EasyBoard cards. The two tools play nicely together because they stop trying to be each other.
Common questions
▸ Can I link Notion docs to EasyBoard cards?
Yes. Paste the Notion URL into the card description; it renders as a clickable link. We do not embed the doc preview yet.
▸ Is there a Notion-style "all my views" sidebar?
Each board has saved filters; the filter chips persist across sessions. Cross-board roll-up is a Pro feature.
▸ What about the database side of Notion?
Different shape of problem. EasyBoard is opinionated about being a kanban. If you need a generic database, Notion or Airtable are better fits.
