If you want to control who can access your Notion content, two tools come up most often: Notions11 and Super.so. They both put some form of gate in front of Notion pages — but they're built for different things.
Here's an honest side-by-side, so you can pick the one that matches what you actually need.
What each tool does
Notions11 is a link-gating service. You paste a Notion share link, and Notions11 generates a password-protected URL at notions11.com/your-slug. Your Notion page stays exactly as it is. The gate sits in front of it. That's it.
Super.so is a Notion site builder. It takes your Notion workspace and publishes it as a full website on your own domain — with custom fonts, custom CSS, SEO settings, and optional password protection per page. The password feature is one small part of a larger platform.
The key difference: Notions11 adds a gate to a Notion link. Super.so rebuilds your Notion page as a standalone website that can have a gate.

When Notions11 is the right choice
Notions11 makes sense when:
- You want a password gate quickly. Paste a link, set a password, share. Under a minute from start to finish.
- You're selling or distributing Notion templates. The password goes in the buyer's delivery email. Anyone who forwards just the link hits a gate.
- You want to know when someone accessed your content. Notions11 Pro emails you each time someone opens your link, and logs the IP and location.
- You need access to expire. By date (“expires November 30”) or by view count (“first 100 opens only”). Super.so doesn't have either.
- You don't need a custom domain. Your link will be at
notions11.com/slug, not your own domain.
When Super.so is the right choice
Super.so makes sense when:
- You want a proper website with your domain.
yourbrand.cominstead ofnotions11.com/slug. - You care about design control. Super.so lets you override Notion's default styling with custom CSS, fonts, and layouts.
- You're building a public site that also has some private sections. A public blog with a password-protected members area, for example.
- You're publishing a course platform or portfolio. Super.so is closer to a full website builder; Notions11 is a link tool.
What about Potion?
Potion is another Notion site builder in the same category as Super.so — custom domain, site design, optional password. Similar price range, similar use cases. If you're comparing site builders for Notion, evaluate both Potion and Super.so. If you just want a gate on a link, neither is the right tool.
The honest take
These tools don't really compete — they solve different problems. Super.so is for people who want a website built on top of Notion. Notions11 is for people who want to add a password or access control to an existing Notion link without rebuilding anything.
If you're a Notion template seller who wants buyers to get gated access to your template after a Gumroad purchase: Notions11. If you want your entire Notion-built portfolio or course site to live at your own domain with a polished design: Super.so.
Both are legitimate choices. Most people who end up at the Notions11/Super.so decision actually want Notions11 — they want a gate, not a full site rebuild. If that's you, start here.
