Komga vs Notion
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Komga and Notion — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Komga vs Notion: at a glance
What is Komga?
Komga is rewriting its web UI in the open, shipping the beta alongside the old one.
Komga's release cadence is dominated by NextUI, a ground-up rewrite of the web interface that landed in beta with 1.26.0 and is served next to the existing UI at /next rather than replacing it. The three patch releases that followed within 48 hours were almost entirely NextUI shakedown work — scroll restoration, selection behavior, stylesheets failing to load under Tomcat. Underneath the interface work the server keeps widening format support, with rar5 handling in plain Java and solid rar4 archives earlier in the summer.
What is Notion?
Every release now lands on the agent: what triggers it, what it can reach, what it costs.
Since Notion 3.6 shipped External Agents, essentially the whole changelog has been agent infrastructure. Custom Agents gained a meeting-note trigger, calendar tools, and a one-click path to share docs into their context; Workers got usage tracking in the credits dashboard ahead of the beta ending; and the model picker now exposes scorecards for speed, intelligence and cost with a per-request effort dial. The one non-agent item in the window is high contrast mode.

Komga is rewriting its web UI in the open, shipping the beta alongside the old one.
◆ Current state
Komga's release cadence is dominated by NextUI, a ground-up rewrite of the web interface that landed in beta with 1.26.0 and is served next to the existing UI at /next rather than replacing it. The three patch releases that followed within 48 hours were almost entirely NextUI shakedown work — scroll restoration, selection behavior, stylesheets failing to load under Tomcat. Underneath the interface work the server keeps widening format support, with rar5 handling in plain Java and solid rar4 archives earlier in the summer.
◆ Where it's heading
The project is running a long, deliberately cautious frontend migration: both UIs ship in the same binary, the feature gap is tracked publicly in an issue, and users opt in by URL. That arrangement should persist across several minor versions before the old WebUI is retired. The parallel v2 referential API suggests the rewrite is also being used to revise the server contract rather than only restyle the client.
◆ Prediction
Near-term releases should keep closing the NextUI feature gap issue by issue, with patch releases landing within days of each other. The old WebUI is unlikely to be removed before NextUI reaches parity and browser refresh stops falling back to it.
Notion
6.3PMCOMMS
Every release now lands on the agent: what triggers it, what it can reach, what it costs.
◆ Current state
Since Notion 3.6 shipped External Agents, essentially the whole changelog has been agent infrastructure. Custom Agents gained a meeting-note trigger, calendar tools, and a one-click path to share docs into their context; Workers got usage tracking in the credits dashboard ahead of the beta ending; and the model picker now exposes scorecards for speed, intelligence and cost with a per-request effort dial. The one non-agent item in the window is high contrast mode.
◆ Where it's heading
Notion is assembling the unglamorous half of an agent platform - triggers, permissions, connections, metering - rather than adding capabilities. The sequencing is deliberate: agents that can act on your calendar and fire off meeting notes need a permission model and a visible bill before anyone runs them on a team. Surfacing model cost and effort to the end user points the same way, pushing the spend decision down to whoever writes the prompt.
◆ Prediction
The Workers beta ending is the next dated event to watch, and pricing for it is the likeliest announcement; expect further agent triggers beyond meeting notes and more connected tool surfaces on the calendar pattern.
