Livebinders vs Notion vs Google Sites

The three apps serve the purpose of presenting the materials that one has collected in a systematic manner. 

I have tried creating Google Sites and Notion notebooks. Google Sites are now easy to create. The app conveniently integrates with other Google apps. 

Notion looks more like a textbook, or an organised course. I think Notion has more tools available than Google Sites. But Google Sites, like any website, seems to be more versatile and flexible for viewers to find things they may be interested in. Notion, as pointed out above, looks like a textbook. If that is the intended purpose, then Notion trumps Google Sites. 

I haven't tried creating anything with Livebinders yet. It looks like a Google Site, and presents 2 levels (free plan) or 3 levels (paid) of content. The interface is straightforward. A content page can embed another webpage (though some web pages refuse to be embedded), which will show up automatically. This is not the case with Google Sites. 

So far, my impression is that if Livebinders is easy to use, then it may be used for conveniently creating a collection of resources to use with other people.
