Portalize vs Super.so (and Notion-to-site builders)
Tools like Super.so, Potion, and Simple.ink make Notion pages into beautiful public websites. They are not built for private, per-client access.
Super.so and similar builders are excellent at what they do: turn a Notion page into a fast, well-designed public website with your domain and styling. That is perfect for marketing sites, docs, and blogs.
But a website is public by design. These tools generally do not offer client logins or row-level scoping, so they cannot show each client a private, filtered slice of a shared database. Add-on password protection gates a whole page, not individual clients’ rows.
Portalize is built for the private case. Clients authenticate, and each one sees only the records scoped to them, with the fields you allow, served securely. If you need a public site, use Super. If you need private, multi-client portals, use Portalize. Many agencies use both.
| Feature | Portalize | Super.so & Notion site builders |
|---|---|---|

| Client login | Yes | No |
| Per-client row scoping | Yes | No |
| Field-level visibility control | Yes | Limited |

| Great for marketing sites | No | Yes |
| Data served securely (not public) | Yes | No |
Choose Portalize when
- Each client must see a different, private subset of your Notion data.
- You need authenticated access, not a public URL.
- You want field- and row-level control over what is exposed.
Super.so & Notion site builders may fit better when
- You are building a public website, blog, or docs from Notion.
- Everything on the page is meant for anyone to see.
- Design and page performance matter more than access control.
Frequently asked questions
Can Super.so create a client portal?
Super.so turns Notion pages into public websites. It does not provide client logins or per-client data scoping, so it is not suited to private, multi-client portals. Portalize is built for that.
Can I use Portalize and Super together?
Yes. Many agencies use Super for their public marketing site and Portalize for private, authenticated client portals built on the same Notion workspace.
