Looking for a Dokin alternative?
Dokin does one job: pull a Notion database into Google Sheets on a schedule. It works, but the schedule is the whole catch. Sheets that need to reflect Notion right now sit at a 15-minute delay at best, daily at worst. Sync2Sheets solves that by running on Notion's official webhooks instead of polling, and layers in opt-in write-back, Notion dashboards, and live charts.

Why switch to Sync2Sheets
Real-time sync instead of polling
Every Notion edit fires a webhook that Sync2Sheets picks up in seconds. Dokin refreshes on an interval, so your sheet lags behind Notion between refreshes. For dashboards, reports, and anything time-sensitive, that lag compounds.
Write back to Notion, not just read
Sync2Sheets pushes Google Sheets formula results into Notion properties through editable columns, creates new Notion pages from new Sheets rows through page creation, and drives Notion headings or callouts from Sheets cells through block updates. Dokin is read-only.
Lower price point
Sync2Sheets starts at $12/month billed annually and tops out at $40/month for unlimited databases. Dokin's comparable tiers are priced similarly at the low end but you pay for less: no write-back, no real-time, no live embedded Notion dashboards.
Full property-type fidelity
Sync2Sheets maps every Notion property type including rollups with multi-hop relations, colored selects, date ranges split into start and end columns, and rich text with formatting preserved. Edge cases that other tools drop, we keep.
When Dokin is the better choice
Dokin is slightly cheaper on the entry tier, and if you literally do not need real-time and you do not need write-back, that edge might matter. For anyone building dashboards, running reports off fresh data, or needing Sheets formulas to populate Notion properties, Sync2Sheets is the better value even at a slightly higher price.
How to migrate from Dokin
- 1
Uninstall Dokin or disconnect the sync
Open the Dokin sidebar in your existing sheet and disconnect the synced database. You can keep the sheet; we will re-sync it fresh.
- 2
Install Sync2Sheets from the Google Workspace Marketplace
One click. The add-on appears in every Google Sheet you open from that point forward.
- 3
Share your Notion database with the Sync2Sheets integration
In Notion, add the Sync2Sheets integration to each database you want to sync. Takes a minute per database.
- 4
Connect the database in the Sync2Sheets sidebar
Pick a sheet tab, pick a Notion database, click connect. The first sync runs immediately and populates every property.
- 5
Turn on write-back features if you need them
In the sidebar's column settings, enable editable columns on any column you want Sheets formulas to drive. Turn on page creation if you want new Sheets rows to become Notion pages.
Frequently asked questions
Will my Dokin-connected sheet still work after I switch?
The sheet is a standard Google Sheet. Once Dokin is disconnected, it's just cells. Connecting Sync2Sheets to the same tab repopulates it with live Notion data. No data is lost.
How long does setup take?
Under 2 minutes per database. Install, connect Notion, pick a database, done.
Does Sync2Sheets cost more than Dokin?
Entry tiers are close ($12/mo vs ~$10/mo). For the extra cost you get real-time sync, write-back, Notion dashboards, and audit logs.
Can I try Sync2Sheets before paying?
Yes, 7-day free trial, no credit card required.
