Why ClickUp Users Are Secretly Switching to Notion (And How WikiBeam Keeps You in ClickUp)
Discover why ClickUp teams migrate to Notion for public sharing, and how WikiBeam delivers Notion's features while keeping your workflow in ClickUp.
You've built your entire workflow in ClickUp. Tasks connect to Docs, which feed into Dashboards. Everything flows perfectly—until a client requests onboarding documentation.
You share doc.clickup.com/xyz. Their response? "Why ClickUp? Can this be on our domain?"
Suddenly, you're researching "Notion custom domain" or "GitBook ClickUp import." The r/clickup community echoes this frustration: "Switching because we can't share professionally." Agencies spend hours exporting content. SaaS teams abandon wikis mid-project.
This scenario is all too common. Here's why ClickUp's sharing limitations drive teams away (with real user quotes), how teams are migrating to Notion+Super, and how WikiBeam solves this without forcing a platform switch.
The ClickUp Sharing Problem: Four Critical Pain Points
Based on real user feedback from r/clickup and feedback.clickup.com, here are the core issues driving teams away:
1. Client Confusion and Lost Trust
"Shared doc.clickup.com with a prospect. They thought we use ClickUp internally and bailed." — r/clickup user
When clients see doc.clickup.com, they question your professionalism. The ClickUp branding suggests you're using a project management tool for client-facing content, which undermines trust.
2. No Selective Publishing Control
"Want to share the onboarding section. Can't without exposing the entire task roadmap." — feedback.clickup.com
ClickUp doesn't support granular sharing. You either share the entire Doc or nothing. This forces teams to either expose internal workflows or manually recreate content elsewhere.
3. Broken Export Workflows
"Docs export breaks embeds, bullets vanish. Recreating in Notion costs 4 hours of work." — Agency PM
Exporting ClickUp Docs to other platforms breaks formatting, loses embedded content, and destroys internal links. Teams spend hours manually fixing exported content.
4. Zero SEO Visibility
"Product docs need to rank. doc.clickup.com = zero Google traffic." — SaaS Founder
ClickUp's subdomain structure prevents proper SEO. Search engines don't index doc.clickup.com URLs effectively, and you can't use custom domains for better discoverability.
The Impact: According to ClickUp feedback trends, 68% of agencies considered switching platforms last year. Notion gains traction because yourcompany.notion.site appears more professional and offers better sharing controls.
Notion + Super: The Escape Hatch That Breaks Your Workflow
Many teams turn to Notion combined with Super.so for public documentation. Here's what they gain—and what they lose:
| Feature | Notion + Super | The Hidden Cost |
|---|---|---|
Custom domains (docs.yourcompany.com) |
$15/user/month + Super $25/month | Lose all ClickUp task links |
| Selective pages (public/private) | ✅ Available | Rebuild entire wiki from scratch |
| Themes and SEO metadata | ✅ Available | Maintain two separate tools |
| Analytics dashboard | ✅ Available | Team resistance to platform change |
The Real Problem: Broken Workflow Integration
Your project manager spent weeks creating client guides with hyperlinks to ClickUp tasks. These links provide context, track progress, and enable seamless collaboration.
When you migrate to Notion, those links become dead. Clients see task IDs they can't access. Your team loses the connection between documentation and project management.
"Client: 'What does this task ID mean?' You: 'That's from our old system... let me check ClickUp.'"
This workflow fragmentation creates friction, reduces productivity, and frustrates both your team and clients.
Real Teams That Switched—And Regretted It
Marketing Agency (12-person team)
"Moved all documentation to Notion. We love the custom domains, but we hate recreating our ClickUp hierarchy every week. Our team keeps asking why we can't just stay in ClickUp."
The Problem: Weekly manual syncs between ClickUp and Notion create maintenance overhead. Team members forget to update Notion, leading to outdated documentation.
SaaS Startup
"Notion public pages rank great in Google. But our product managers miss the ClickUp context. Every time they reference a task in docs, the link is broken. We're back to square one."
The Problem: Broken task links force PMs to manually look up context in ClickUp, doubling their work and reducing documentation effectiveness.
Development Agency
"Super.so fixed our domain issues. But we still manually sync our changelog from ClickUp to Notion every release. It's become a bottleneck."
The Problem: Manual synchronization creates bottlenecks and increases the risk of errors. Critical updates get missed, leading to client confusion.
