Notion Pricing: $0 to $24 a Seat, and Where Notion AI Starts

Contents

What Notion costs you

Notion is free for one person and costs $10 to $24 per member a month for teams. On notion.com/pricing on 16 October 2026, Plus was $10 billed yearly or $12 billed monthly, and Business, the first plan with Notion AI included, was $20 or $24. Enterprise is sold by quote.

Notion plan	Per seat, yearly billing	Per seat, monthly billing	AI on this plan
Free	$0	$0	Trial only
Plus	$10	$12	Trial only
Business	$20	$24	Full, within a usage allowance
Enterprise	Custom pricing	Custom pricing	Full, within a usage allowance

I read notion.com/pricing in both billing views, and Notion’s help pages on credits and AI limits, on 15 and 16 October 2026, and tested Notion AI on a new Free workspace on 15 October 2026. I did not pay for Plus or Business, buy credits, ask for a refund or request an Enterprise quote; those parts come from Notion’s own pages.

Most solo users can stay on Free. Small teams usually start on Plus. Pay for Business mainly if the team will use Notion AI, because that is the line where AI stops being a trial.

How Notion charges

Three rules decide what you pay, and the pricing page’s FAQ spells them out.

You pay per member, not per workspace. The FAQ says “If you upgrade your workspace to one of the paid plans, you will be charged a fee per member.” Everyone you add as a member takes a paid seat, at the workspace’s plan price.

Guests are free. “Guests are free of charge – but they can only access individual pages they are invited to.” Free allows 10 guests; every paid plan has no guest limit. For a client or a freelancer who needs a few pages, a guest invite costs nothing.

AI is bundled, not bought separately. The pricing page lists no separate Notion AI add-on. Free and Plus get a trial; Business and Enterprise include Notion AI with a usage allowance. On top of Business or Enterprise, you can buy Notion credits for the AI features the allowance does not cover.

In my browser the page showed “Price in USD”, with a toggle between “Pay monthly” and “Pay yearly” and the note “Save up to 20% with yearly”. Check which view you are reading before you compare prices.

Notion plans in detail

Notion free plan: $0, unlimited for one person

Free is aimed “For individuals to organize personal projects and life.” A solo user gets unlimited pages and blocks, Notion Calendar, basic forms and sites, and databases with subtasks, dependencies and custom properties.

The limits start when you share. Notion’s pricing FAQ says that in a Free workspace with multiple members “you’ll be able to add a limited number of blocks before you have to upgrade”, and that once you hit the limit you can still read and edit what is there but “won’t be able to add new content blocks.” Free also caps file uploads at 5 MB, page history at 7 days, guests at 10 and charts at one.

Plus: $10 or $12 per member

Plus is “For small teams and professionals to work together.” It adds unlimited collaborative blocks, unlimited file uploads, unlimited charts, custom forms and sites, and basic connections. Page history goes to 30 days, guests become unlimited, and you get five notion.site domains instead of one, according to the pricing table.

Plus still has only the AI trial, the same as Free. The cheapest way to pay for Notion AI is to move the whole workspace to Business.

Notion Business plan: $20 or $24 per member, with Notion AI

Business is the plan Notion marks “Recommended”, under the heading it shares with Enterprise, “The AI workspace for work that matters.” It adds Notion Agent, AI Meeting Notes and Enterprise Search, with some connectors in Beta, plus SAML SSO, granular database permissions, private teamspaces, page verification and 90 days of page history.

Business is also where Notion credits become available; Notion’s help page calls them an add-on for Business and Enterprise. Credits pay for Custom Agents, Workers, premium AI models, and AI use beyond the plan’s allowance; the next section covers how much.

Notion Enterprise pricing: by quote

Enterprise is “For organizations to operate with scalability, control, and security”, priced through sales. It adds “Zero data retention with LLM providers”, SCIM user provisioning, an audit log, advanced security controls, domain management and a customer success manager.

A useful benchmark is $28 a seat. That is the yearly Enterprise price Notion’s own plan picker showed inside a free workspace on 15 October 2026; the monthly view showed $35, with a “Limited” tag. The public page gives no number, so a sales quote is the only firm price.

The features that change between plans

AI gets the attention, but most of what separates Notion’s plans is ordinary workspace plumbing. The comparison table on the pricing page lists it row by row, and a few rows decide most upgrades.

Feature	Free	Plus	Business	Enterprise
Page history	7 days	30 days	90 days	Unlimited
File uploads	Up to 5 MB	Unlimited	Unlimited	Unlimited
Guests	10	Unlimited	Unlimited	Unlimited
Automations	Basic, buttons only	Custom, database automations	Same as Plus	Same as Plus
Forms	Basic	Custom	Custom, with conditional logic	Custom, with conditional logic
notion.site domains	1	5	5	5
Search engine indexing for sites	Basic	Advanced	Advanced	Advanced

Automations are the row most teams notice first. On Free they are “Basic, buttons only”; Plus adds custom database automations, which is what most people mean when they say a Notion workflow runs itself. Business and Enterprise do not add more here: the table reads “Same as plus”.

Page history matters more than it looks. Seven days on Free means a page someone emptied last week may be past saving. Plus keeps 30 days and Business 90, and only Enterprise keeps everything.

Sites and forms grow in steps. Free publishes basic sites on one notion.site domain with basic search indexing. Plus moves to custom forms, five domains and advanced indexing. Business adds conditional logic to forms. A custom domain is “Pay per domain” on every paid plan, so it is an extra cost on top of any paid plan, not a perk of one.

Support steps up once you pay. The pricing table ticks priority support on Plus, Business and Enterprise, and lists premium support and a customer success manager on Enterprise only. Every plan, Free included, gets the public API, webhooks and a full export as HTML, Markdown and CSV; exporting the whole workspace as PDF starts at Business.

Read together, the table says Plus is the upgrade for collaboration and Business is the upgrade for AI, security and admin control. If neither AI nor single sign-on is on your list, Plus covers most of what a small team needs.

Notion’s student plan: Plus, free

Students and teachers get Plus for nothing. The pricing FAQ says “The Plus Plan (with a 1-member limit) is free for students and educators”, and that signing up with a school email gives access at once; it adds that “Thousands of school email domains are eligible, not just .edu!”

The one-member limit is the catch. It suits a personal course workspace, not a shared class or club workspace, which would need a paid plan for every member. On AI, the plan is still Plus, and the pricing page’s Plus card lists only a “Trial of Notion AI”.

Notion AI pricing: trial, allowance and credits

Notion AI is included in the seat price on Business and Enterprise and is a trial on Free and Plus. What you actually spend depends on the trial’s size, the Business allowance, and whether you buy credits.

Is Notion AI free? Only as a trial

Notion’s help page on complimentary responses says “Everyone can try Notion AI for free”, and that every AI action counts, including asking a question or adding an autofill property: “Anytime you click Try again, that counts as an additional AI response.” When the responses run out, you see a message that an upgrade to Business or Enterprise is needed.

How many responses that is, and whether they ever come back, is left unsaid, and the page treats Free and Plus alike. When I tested Notion AI for our Notion AI review, on a new Free workspace on 15 October 2026, 39 AI requests over about an hour produced no limit message. They included a 23-row database build and a five-slide deck. That is plenty for a fair trial on your own pages; just don’t expect a counter telling you where you stand.

The Business usage allowance

Business still has a ceiling. Notion’s usage allowance page says Business and Enterprise “include a usage allowance for certain Notion AI features”, measured in “A six-hour window” and “A monthly window”. Notion lists three features that draw on it, among others: chatting with or tasking your personal Notion Agent, generating images, and translating pages.

Neither window has a published size. If you use up the six-hour allowance, the page says access “resets automatically within six hours”; if you use up the monthly one, it comes back “at the start of your next billing cycle.” You can watch both in Settings, Notion AI, Usage, and Notion Agent warns you in chat as you get close.

Image generation also has its own beta cap on top of the allowance: 10 generations or edits per 24 hours and 30 per 30 days per user, according to Notion’s AI FAQ page. Several features are not counted against the Business allowance at all. Custom Agents, Workers and premium models are paid for in credits. Meeting notes are limited differently: the page gives AI Meeting Notes “its own 10-hour daily cap”.

Notion credits

Credits are the only part of Notion AI with a public unit price. Notion’s page on credits calls them “an add-on for Business and Enterprise plans”, shared across the workspace.

	Monthly credits	Annual credits
Price	$10 per 1,000	$13 per 1,000
Who can buy in the product	Workspaces on monthly billing	Annual Business or Enterprise plans
Billing	Monthly, alongside the subscription	Paid upfront in one payment
Unused credits	Reset each month, no carry-over	Expire at renewal, no carry-over

The pricing page puts Custom Agents at “Free to try, then $10 per 1,000 monthly Notion credits.” Notion’s credits page does not say how many credits any action uses, so you cannot turn a budget into a number of agent runs before you start.

By default, a member who uses up the allowance has to wait. An admin can switch on “Allow workspace to use Notion credits after AI limit is reached”, so the team keeps working on credits instead, and can track each member’s spend in a credits dashboard.

Premium models

The model picker in Notion AI is long: my test workspace’s settings counted 32 models, from several providers. Two rules from Notion’s Notion Agent help page decide whether a model costs extra: premium ones are billed in credits, and each premium model stays off until an admin switches it on. The usage allowance page adds that premium models spend credits “even when you use them inside Notion Agent.”

Models that are not premium are covered by the seat and its usage allowance. The premium ones are where a Business bill can grow.

Monthly or yearly billing?

Yearly billing is cheaper on both paid self-serve plans. Notion’s toggle says “Save up to 20% with yearly”. On the US prices on the page, the saving is $2 a month on Plus and $4 a month on Business, per member.

A year of Notion	Billed yearly	Billed monthly	You save on yearly
Plus, 1 member	$120	$144	$24
Business, 1 member	$240	$288	$48
Business, 5 members	$1,200	$1,440	$240
Business, 10 members	$2,400	$2,880	$480

Yearly billing has two other effects. If you buy credits in the product, only workspaces on annual plans can buy annual credits. And the refund window is longer: 30 days against three on monthly billing, per the pricing FAQ.

How seats, changes and refunds work

The pricing FAQ is unusually specific about billing, and it is worth reading before you invite a team.

Event	What Notion’s pricing FAQ says happens
Add a member	Fills an open paid seat, or adds one, billed pro rata
Remove a member	No credit; the seat stays open until the period ends
Upgrade	Charged now, less the share of the billing cycle left
Downgrade or cancel	Takes effect at the end of the cycle
Refund	Full, within 3 days (monthly) or 30 days (annual) of signing up

Adding members. A new member takes an empty paid seat if you have one. If not, “your count of paid seats will increase by 1”, and the change is billed pro rata for the rest of the cycle. The FAQ adds that your account “may be charged on a monthly basis if you make changes in membership”, even on yearly billing.

Removing members. You do not get money back. “If you removed members, you will not receive credit but instead will still have use of that seat for a different user for the remainder of the billing period.” At the start of each billing period, paid seats are reset to match the members in the workspace.

Changing plans. An upgrade is “charged immediately”, with the amount reduced based on the share of the billing cycle left. A downgrade happens “at the end of your billing cycle.”

Cancelling. “Your Notion subscription, annual or monthly, will automatically renew until you cancel it.” To cancel, go to Settings, then Billing, then Change plan, on a desktop computer. You keep paid features until the cycle ends.

Refunds. Notion refunds “the full amount (not pro-rated) if you downgrade your subscription within three days of signing up for monthly billing, or within 30 days of signing up for annual billing.” If members were added by mistake, it refunds the prorated charges if you write in “within three days of the invoice date”.

Four teams, four Notion bills

A solo writer or student. Free gives one person unlimited pages and blocks, which covers most personal use. A student with a school email can get Plus free, with a one-member limit, for larger uploads and longer page history. Notion’s pages list no AI beyond the trial for either.

A five-person team without AI. Plus at $10 per member billed yearly comes to $600 a year. That removes the block limit and the 10-guest cap, and keeps 30 days of page history.

A five-person team that wants Notion AI. Business at $20 per member billed yearly is $1,200 a year, double Plus. Every member pays it, whether or not they use AI. If only two people want AI, compare that $600 difference with a separate AI tool for those two before you upgrade the workspace.

A team that runs agents. Custom Agents need credits on top of Business. At $10 per 1,000 credits monthly, a $100 monthly budget buys 10,000 credits; Notion does not publish what that buys in agent runs, so start small and watch the credits dashboard.

Before you upgrade a Notion workspace

The AI trial has no published size

Notion’s AI FAQ page promises “a limited number of complimentary AI responses” and stops there. My test went 39 requests without a limit, but that is one new workspace on one day, not a rule. Judge Notion AI on the work you would really use it for before the trial ends.

Plus does not include AI

If you are upgrading for Notion AI, Plus will not help. The pricing page gives Plus the same “Trial of Notion AI” line as Free, and the comparison table marks Notion Agent as “Limited Trial” on both.

Business limits are real but unpublished

The usage allowance has two windows and no stated size. Notion’s page also warns that it may change “the size of the allowances, how they’re calculated, and how they work alongside Notion credits.” Heavy users may meet the six-hour limit, so decide in advance whether credits can take over.

Removing a member does not refund the seat

Seats bill pro rata when you add people, but removing someone mid-cycle gives no credit. Time large removals for the end of a billing period, and keep contractors as guests where you can.

Free stops growing for teams

Two or more members on Free hit a block limit. Notion does not give the number on the pricing page; it says only that you can keep reading and editing but cannot add new blocks. Plan the move to Plus before a shared workspace fills up.

The right Notion plan for you

• One person, personal notes and projects: Free.
• A student or teacher with a school email: the free Plus for students and educators.
• A small team that shares pages and files: Plus, billed yearly at $10 per member.
• A team that will use Notion AI every day: Business, billed yearly at $20 per member, and set a credit policy for premium models.
• Large or regulated organizations: Enterprise, for SCIM, audit logs and zero data retention with AI providers. Ask sales, and compare the quote with the $28 or $35 the in-app picker showed.
• Skip Business if only a couple of people want AI. You pay it for every member, so a separate tool for the few can cost less.

If Notion AI costs more than you need

If you mainly want an AI that answers questions from your own documents, Gemini Notebook, formerly NotebookLM, is free with a Google account; its paid tiers come with Google AI plans from $4.99 a month. Our Notion AI review covers what Notion AI does on real pages, from a 23-row database to a slide deck, tested on the Free trial.

Final word

Notion’s pricing is simple until AI enters it. Free covers one person, and Plus at $10 per member billed yearly covers most small teams. Full Notion AI starts at Business, $20 per member billed yearly, for every member, with an allowance whose size Notion does not publish and credits for anything beyond it. Try the AI trial on your own pages first, then decide whether the whole team needs it.
