Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Notion AI

  • Full AI access including agents and meeting notes requires the Business plan at $20 per member per month, double the $10 Plus plan
  • The Free and Plus plans offer trial AI capabilities rather than the full feature set
  • AI is not sold separately from the workspace seat, so every member must be upgraded to reach it
  • Zero data retention with LLM providers is Enterprise only, which is custom priced

Pika

  • Maximum video length of 3-8 seconds per generation, requiring multiple renders for longer content
  • Inconsistent output quality with character morphing, distortion, and temporal inconsistencies like flickering textures
  • Poor handling of complex scenes with multiple characters showing body distortions and weak character consistency across frames
  • No native audio generation, requiring separate tools to add sound to silent videos
  • Customer service and billing issues with complaints of non-responsive support and confusing billing practices
