Which Notion plans include Notion AI?
Notion AI costs $10 a member a month more than Plus, because Plus ($10) gets only a trial and Business ($20) is the cheapest plan with the full Agent. Notion's AI help page says it plainly: "Notion AI is available on Business and Enterprise Plans." We read every row from Notion's pricing page, its Notion AI FAQ and its credits guide on 8 November 2026. US dollars:
| Plan, read 8 November 2026 | Price per member a month, billed yearly | Notion AI | AI credits included a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Limited trial | A limited number of complimentary responses |
| Plus | $10 | Limited trial | A limited number of complimentary responses |
| Business | $20 | Notion Agent, AI Meeting Notes, Enterprise Search (Beta), Custom Agents | 1,500 Standard and 500 Select per member |
| Enterprise | Custom | Everything in Business, plus zero data retention with Notion's AI providers | 1,500 Standard and 500 Select per member, may vary by contract |
| Notion credits (add-on) | $10 per 1,000 monthly, $13 per 1,000 yearly | Pays for heavy models and for use past the included credits | Bought by the workspace owner |
The $10 and $20 are yearly rates. Notion's startups page says "Notion's Business Plan costs $20 per member paid annually," and the pricing page says you "Save up to 20% with yearly." Notion doesn't print the monthly figure on that page, so expect to pay more if you bill month to month. Plus gets the same AI trial as Free and nothing more.
How do Notion AI credits work?
Every Business and Enterprise seat gets 1,500 Standard credits and 500 Select credits a month, and both reset monthly. Notion's 19 October 2026 post put the system live that day for new customers, and existing workspaces moved over on 2 November. Here's what each kind pays for, per Notion's credits help page:
| Credit type | Where it comes from | What it pays for | When it runs out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 1,500 per member a month | Notion Agent on Auto, AI editing, page translation, AI blocks, AI database formulas, AI Meeting Notes | Those features pause until the monthly reset |
| Select | 500 per member a month | Notion Agent with a model you pick, Custom Agents you own | Those features pause until the monthly reset |
| Notion credits | Bought by the workspace owner | High credit consumption models, plus anything above once the included credits are gone | The owner buys more mid-cycle |
Notion's credits page says "Standard credits cover work where Notion picks the model," while Select credits cover work "where you pick a model yourself, or use a Custom Agent you own." So picking your own model spends the smaller pot. Leave the Agent on Auto and it draws from the 1,500 instead. That's three times as many.
Here's what 1,500 Standard credits buy. Notion estimates that "A one hour meeting is estimated to use ~10 Standard credits." That's roughly 150 hours of AI meeting notes a month per member. Meeting notes only start drawing on Standard credits on 1 December 2026, per Notion's credit management page, and Database Autofill doesn't touch the balance at all.
Extra credits cost more on a yearly plan, the reverse of seats. Monthly Notion credits are "$10 per 1,000 credits" and reset each month. Yearly credits are "$13 per 1,000 credits" and expire at renewal. That's 30% more per credit for the yearly commitment. Buy them monthly unless your account team offers you something better, because a monthly pack also lets you stop when a project ends and you no longer need the extra headroom.
How much does a Notion Custom Agent cost to run?
A Custom Agent run costs about $0.03 to $0.30 at Notion's own estimates, depending on the job. Notion's Custom Agents pricing page lists five typical agents and what 1,000 credits ($10) buy of each, read 8 November 2026:
A Custom Agent spends its owner's Select credits first. Notion's post says "You also no longer need to buy credits to start building custom agents." A daily brief that runs every day for 30 days costs $3 to $9 a month at those rates, if it runs past the owner's included credits. A status update agent run 60 times a month costs $4.80 to $10.80. Workers are still in Beta. They use no credits for now.
What does Notion AI cost for a team?
Notion AI for a team of ten costs $200 a month on Business, billed yearly, or $2,400 a year. That's $1,200 a year more than the same team on Plus, which gets only the AI trial. Here's the bill for ten members, read 8 November 2026:
| 10 members on | Monthly cost, billed yearly | Yearly cost | Included AI credits a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plus | $100 | $1,200 | Trial only |
| Business | $200 | $2,400 | 15,000 Standard and 5,000 Select |
| Business plus 1,000 monthly Notion credits | $210 | $2,520 | Same, plus 1,000 Notion credits |
| Enterprise | Quote | Quote | 1,500 Standard and 500 Select each, may vary |
So the price of AI in Notion is the gap between Plus and Business: $10 per member a month on yearly billing. Notion bills it for every member in the workspace. A team where three people use AI still pays the gap for all ten.
Notion priced it differently in 2023. Its launch post of 22 February 2023 sold Notion AI as an add-on at "$10 per member / month" on any plan, with 20% off on yearly billing. On 13 May 2025 Notion moved AI into Business, saying "you can get it all starting at $20 per user per month." Workspaces that already had Business or Enterprise with the add-on kept access to everything.
Is Notion AI free on the Free or Plus plan?
No, Free and Plus get a trial, not Notion AI. Notion's FAQ says "Users on the Free and Plus Plans get a limited number of complimentary AI responses" so they can try the features. Notion doesn't publish the number. The pricing page lists Notion Agent, Meeting notes and Research mode as "Limited Trial" on both plans.
Students and teachers get Plus free. The pricing page says "The Plus Plan (with a 1-member limit) is free for students and educators." That's the workspace, though, and the AI is still a trial. Image generation is Business and Enterprise only.
What does Notion AI cost next to the rest of your AI stack?
Notion Business plus ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro comes to $60 a member a month, with Notion billed yearly and the other two monthly. We read the prices on OpenAI's ChatGPT plans page and Anthropic's Claude pricing page on 8 November 2026:
| Monthly cost per person, read 8 November 2026 | Notion Plus | Notion Business |
|---|---|---|
| Notion seat, billed yearly | $10 | $20 |
| plus ChatGPT Plus ($20) | $30 | $40 |
| plus Claude Pro ($20 monthly) | $50 | $60 |
The tools overlap less than the bill suggests. Notion AI works inside your workspace: it writes in your pages, fills databases, takes meeting notes and searches connected apps like Slack. ChatGPT and Claude work in their own windows, on whatever you paste in. If you bought Business for the Agent and the meeting notes, keep it. It's doing a job a chat app can't.
Whizi, which publishes this page, covers the chat side. Whizi Pro costs $29.99 a month and puts Claude, GPT and Gemini in one chat for drafting, rewriting and summarizing, and it can hand back a Word file. It doesn't live inside Notion. It doesn't take meeting notes, search your Slack or run agents in your workspace. So it won't replace Notion Business. It can replace separate ChatGPT and Claude subscriptions for someone who stays on Notion Plus and pastes text across. The cheapest way to use Claude and GPT runs those numbers, and Claude pricing covers Anthropic's side.
- Buy Business only if the team will use Notion Agent, meeting notes or Enterprise Search
- Leave Notion Agent on Auto so it draws on the 1,500 Standard credits, not the 500 Select
- Buy extra Notion credits monthly at $10 per 1,000, not yearly at $13
- Budget meeting notes at about 10 Standard credits an hour from 1 December 2026
- Price a Custom Agent at $0.03 to $0.30 a run before you schedule it daily
- If you also pay for ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro, price one chat plan for both before renewing
Frequently asked questions
Is Notion AI free?
No, Notion AI is included only on Business at $20 a member a month billed yearly, and on Enterprise, as of November 2026. Free and Plus get a limited number of complimentary AI responses so you can try it, and Notion doesn't publish how many. Best AI subscription compares the paid chat plans if you want AI outside Notion.
Is Notion AI included in the Plus plan?
No, the Plus plan at $10 a member a month billed yearly includes only the Notion AI trial. Notion Agent, Meeting notes and Research mode show as "Limited Trial" on Plus. You need Business for full access. How many AI subscriptions do you need helps decide whether a second AI bill earns its place.
Can you still buy the $10 Notion AI add-on?
No, Notion's pricing page lists no AI add-on as of November 2026. Since 13 May 2025 Notion has sold AI as part of Business, and workspaces that already had the add-on on Business or Enterprise kept access. The add-on Notion sells today is credits, at $10 per 1,000 a month. AI subscription costs tracks what the other AI tools charge.
Is Notion AI worth it?
Notion AI is worth the extra $10 a member a month over Plus if your team takes meeting notes, runs agents or searches Slack and other apps from Notion. If you only want writing help, a chat subscription does that without moving the whole team to Business. Is it worth paying for AI gives a test for any AI subscription.
