Notion vs Microsoft Loop: Which is Better?

Notion is a well established productivity tool as an all-in-one way to collaboration with millions of users worldwide, Microsoft Loop has a lot of catching up to do. But with the power of Microsoft behind it and special features like "Loop Components" it could well do.

Microsoft Loop is still early days. Each time they release a new Microsoft ecosystem feature it continues to get stronger as Microsoft Loop thrives on connections to existing services and products in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
