Elfsight Alternative for Notion: 65 Free Widgets
Elfsight is a website widget platform. It’s good at social feeds, reviews, forms, and chat, but its free plan gives you one widget capped at 200 views a month, with an Elfsight badge until you pay. Widgets For Notion is built for Notion instead: 65 widgets you can embed without an account, 100 free views a month on each one, and no limit on how many you use. Six widgets on a dashboard get 600 free views between them, where Elfsight gives 200 to one.
Short answer
Pick Widgets For Notion if your use case is a Notion dashboard and you want clocks, timers, calendars, countdowns, or trackers, as many of them as you like. Stay with Elfsight if you need website widgets it does well and we don’t touch: Instagram feeds, Google reviews, contact forms, live chat, and maps.

Different catalogs for different jobs
These two products barely overlap, which is the honest headline. Elfsight ships around 90 apps aimed at websites. Widgets For Notion ships 65 widgets aimed at a Notion page. The overlap is basically clocks, countdowns, and weather. Everything else points in opposite directions.

Pricing: per widget vs per dashboard
Both platforms meter monthly views. The difference is what the meter counts. Elfsight’s free plan gives 200 views to one widget. Ours gives 100 views to each widget, with no limit on how many you use, so the allowance grows with the dashboard instead of being split across it. Paid plans start at $2.99 a month here against about $5 there, and ours also removes the attribution pill.
| Plan | Elfsight | Widgets For Notion |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | 1 widget, 200 views/month, Elfsight badge shown | All 65 widgets, 100 views/month each, no account (small attribution pill) |
| Paid plans | From about $5/month up to $64/month for more views and widgets; badge removed on any paid plan | From $2.99 per month (raises the 100-view limit on every widget you copied, removes the pill) |
| Custom AI-generated widgets | Not offered | Paid credit packs from $1.99 (10 generations). Local prices apply outside the US. |
When Elfsight is the better tool
We’d point you back to Elfsight in these cases, because we simply don’t build for them:
- You need social proof on a website.Elfsight’s Instagram, TikTok, and review widgets pull live data and are made for landing pages. Our widgets don’t do social feeds.
- You need to collect input.Contact forms, subscription forms, live chat, and popups are Elfsight’s home turf. We have nothing that captures form submissions.
- You’re embedding on Wix, WordPress, or Shopify. Elfsight has native integrations there. Our widgets work anywhere an iframe does, but they’re tuned for Notion.
Using Widgets For Notion instead
If your Elfsight widget was really just a clock, countdown, or weather box on a Notion page, the swap takes about a minute:
Pick the matching widget
Elfsight clock → Sleek Blue Digital Clock. Elfsight countdown → Time Until / Countdown. Elfsight weather → Sleek Blue Weather.
Copy the embed URL
Open the widget page and copy its embed URL. There’s no sign-up step, and the widget’s color and settings live in the URL itself.
Paste it into Notion
In Notion, type /embed, paste the URL, and press enter. If you’re replacing an Elfsight embed, click it, choose the original URL, and swap in the new one.
Good to know
- Every Widgets For Notion widget is a hosted iframe. Paste the URL into Notion’s /embed block, with no code or extension.
- Views are counted per widget per calendar month and reset on the first. A widget nobody visits never runs out, and a personal dashboard rarely gets near 100.
- Every free embed carries a small “Widgets for Notion” pill in the corner that links back to the catalog. It’s semi-transparent, and plans from $2.99 a month remove it.
- Elfsight limits and pricing verified from elfsight.com/pricing on 2026-07-04. We’ll re-check if Elfsight changes its free tier.
Frequently asked questions
Is Elfsight free?
Elfsight has a free plan, but it's limited. The free tier gives you one widget capped at 200 views per month, and it shows an Elfsight badge on the widget. Once a widget passes 200 views or you want the badge gone, you move to a paid plan. Paid plans start around $5/month and scale up past $60/month based on how many monthly views and widgets you need. Source: elfsight.com/pricing, verified July 2026.
Does Elfsight work with Notion?
Yes, technically. An Elfsight widget is a hosted embed, so you can paste its URL into a Notion /embed block and it will render. The catch is that Elfsight is built for websites, not Notion. Its free plan covers one widget, and a Notion dashboard is rarely one widget. The Elfsight badge also stays until you pay. A Notion-native widget is built for the block it sits in, and you don't have to pick which single widget gets to be free.
What's the best Elfsight alternative for Notion widgets?
If you specifically want widgets for a Notion page (clocks, timers, calendars, trackers, countdowns), Widgets For Notion is the closer fit. You can embed all 65 widgets without an account, each with 100 free views a month, and nothing limits how many widgets you use. Elfsight gives its free plan 200 views on a single widget. Both show branding on free embeds: Elfsight's badge until you pay, and a small 'Widgets for Notion' pill on ours. Paid plans start at $2.99 a month here against about $5 there. If instead you need website features like Instagram feeds, review widgets, contact forms, or live chat, Elfsight is the right tool and we don't compete on those.
How do I remove the Elfsight branding?
Elfsight removes its badge on any paid plan, starting around $5/month, and there's no way to hide it on the free 200-view plan. Our free embeds carry a small 'Widgets for Notion' pill in the corner, and any paid plan removes it, starting at $2.99/month. The pill is semi-transparent and stays out of the widget's way, so plenty of people never bother.
Is there a free alternative to Elfsight?
For Notion widgets, largely yes. You can embed the whole 65-widget catalog without an account, with 100 free views a month on each widget and no limit on how many you use. Each free embed keeps a small attribution pill in the corner. For general website widgets like social feeds and forms, the closest free options are Common Ninja and Elfsight's own free tier, both of which meter views on a single widget and show branding until you upgrade.
What does Widgets For Notion not do that Elfsight does?
Plenty, and it's worth being clear about it. Elfsight covers Instagram and social feeds, Google and Facebook reviews, contact and subscription forms, live chat, popups, maps, and more, all with live data. Our widgets are static and styling-focused: clocks, timers, calendars, countdowns, trackers, and calculators across four visual collections. If your job is website conversion widgets, Elfsight wins. If it's a clean, free Notion dashboard, we do.
