Built for authors · Notion-powered

Your comp research, worth showing off.

Every comp title, one filterable board.

Curate your comp titles in a Notion database you already own, cover, genre, shared tropes, and the positioning note explaining why each one comps. Comps turns that research into a board anyone can actually browse, embedded wherever you need it.

Why it works

Research that reads like a board, not a spreadsheet.

Powered by Notion you already use

No new database to learn; curate your comp titles directly in a Notion database, the same tool you use for everything else.

Trope-filterable grid

Filter the board live by shared trope, OR-matching across every tag you select, down to exactly the comps that matter.

Genre, trope, or none

Regroup the whole board with one toggle. See your research bucketed however you're thinking about it that day.

Full positioning notes, one click away

Every card opens the complete why-it-comps research payload, including cover, genre, tropes, strength, and the retailer or Goodreads link you researched from.

Covers, resolved automatically

Title and author is all it takes; covers resolve via Open Library and Google Books, then cache forever so the board loads instantly after that.

Embed anywhere

Drop the board into a Notion page, a pitch deck, or your own site. One link, transparent or charcoal background, no iframe wrangling on your end.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is this, exactly?
A live comp-title research board that reads directly from a Notion database you own. Add your comp titles in Notion. Genre, shared tropes, and the positioning note explaining why each one comps all live right there, and they show up on your board instantly: a filterable grid with a click-to-expand research panel for every title.
How do I get access after I buy?
Right after checkout, you're taken straight to your board's private setup page to connect your Notion database; no waiting on email required. A copy of your setup link is also sent to the email you paid with, so you always have a way back in.
What does "lifetime access" mean?
One payment, yours for good. No subscription, no renewal, no monthly fee.
Do I need a paid Notion plan?
No. The board works with Notion's free plan; if you can create a database, you're set.
Can I use a Notion database I already have?
You'll want to duplicate the provided template so the property names match exactly what the board expects. A quick rename of your existing properties works too, if you'd rather keep your own database.
I lost my setup link. What do I do?
Use the recover-link page with the email you purchased under, and a fresh link is sent right away.
Do I need to be technical to set this up?
Not at all. If you can use Notion, you can use this; setup is copy your integration token and database ID into one form.
What's your refund policy?
Because it's a digital product delivered instantly, all sales are final. If something isn't working as described, reach out and I'll make it right.
Is this affiliated with Notion?
No, it's an independent tool and isn't affiliated with, created by, or endorsed by Notion Labs.

Always improving, free for you.
