Q: Notion Sites

Notion Sites, the official offering from Notion to host websites using Notion data costs $10 / per month. How do you plan to compete with that? Your current (non AppSumo) pricing, starting at $39 / month, does not seem competitive at all.

A: Thanks for bringing this up! While Notion Sites is a great solution, Buildfast offers a fundamentally different value proposition. We're offering a lifetime deal, not a monthly subscription. One payment and you're set for life.
We specifically focus on blogging with features that Notion Sites doesn't offer:
- Customizable UI designed specifically for blogs
- Advanced SEO optimization
-Newsletter integration
- Cookie-less analytics
- Custom domain mapping
- Daily auto-sync
- AI content assistance
Our pricing model includes unlimited pageviews and hosting, which can be significant cost savings as your blog grows.

Think of it this way: Notion Sites costs $120/year ongoing, while our lifetime deal starts at $49 one-time. Even with basic features, you break even in just 5 months. Plus, you get specialized blogging features that would require additional tools or subscriptions with Notion Sites.

Thanks for your answer! Offering features for bloggers, which Notion does not offer is convincing.

Re: Pricing:
As someone that buys an LTD, I want to know that a company is able to survive beyond the AppSumo campaign. I therefore don't compare the price of Notion Site to your LTD price (which is obviously cheaper), but to your regular price on your homepage.

Our regular pricing is structured to support ongoing development while remaining competitive when you consider the full blogging toolkit we provide (newsletter, SEO, analytics) - features that usually require multiple paid subscriptions.
We're focused on doing one thing really well (blogging) rather than being everything for everyone, which helps us maintain sustainable growth and deliver value!
