Notion AI pricing is simple once you know the key fact: you cannot buy it on its own anymore. The standalone add-on was retired in May 2025. Full Notion AI now comes bundled with the Business plan at $20 per member a month on annual billing, or $24 on monthly billing. Free and Plus users get only a limited trial. This guide explains every plan, what the trial covers, and whether the Business upgrade is worth it.
Notion AI pricing at a glance

| Plus | $10 a month billed yearly ($12 monthly) | Limited trial only |
| Business | $20 a month billed yearly ($24 monthly) | Full Notion AI included |
| Enterprise | Custom quote | Full Notion AI included |
Prices are in US dollars and exclude taxes. Guests are free on every plan, but guests never get AI access.
What Notion AI actually includes
Notion AI is a set of features, not one tool. The headline feature is Notion Agent. It is a chat assistant that can work across your workspace. It generates pages, autofills databases, translates text, and answers questions from your notes. It can also run multi-step tasks on its own.
AI Meeting Notes transcribes and summarises meetings. Enterprise Search finds answers across your workspace and connected apps. Research Mode is a beta feature for deeper research tasks. Custom Agents handle repetitive tasks on their own, but they cost extra. They are free to try, then $10 per 1,000 monthly Notion credits.
On the official pricing page, the Business plan lists Notion Agent, AI Meeting Notes, and Enterprise Search Beta as included features. Free and Plus list only a trial of Notion AI. That trial covers a small number of AI responses for tasks like generating a document or autofilling a database.
Notion plans explained: Free, Plus, Business, Enterprise
The Free plan costs $0. It includes basic databases, forms, sites, and Notion Calendar. File uploads are capped at 5 MB per file. Page history lasts 7 days. You can invite up to 10 guests. Solo users get unlimited blocks. Teams of two or more face a block limit.
Plus costs $10 per member a month on annual billing, or $12 on monthly billing. It adds unlimited file uploads, 30-day page history, and unlimited guests. It also adds custom forms, custom sites, charts, and collaborative blocks. It does not add full AI. Plus users get the same limited AI trial as Free users.
Business costs $20 per member a month on annual billing, or $24 on monthly billing. It is the cheapest plan with full Notion AI. It also adds 90-day page history, SAML single sign-on, private teamspaces, and advanced analytics. It is the plan most teams need if they want the AI features.
Enterprise pricing is custom and requires a sales conversation. It adds zero data retention with AI providers, user provisioning, an audit log, a customer success manager, and advanced security controls. It also includes full Notion AI.
The retired add-on: what changed in May 2025
Before May 2025, Notion sold AI as a separate add-on. It cost $8 per member a month on annual billing, or $10 on monthly billing. Any Plus workspace could add it. That option is gone for new customers. You cannot buy the add-on at any price today.
Existing add-on subscribers were grandfathered. They keep the $8 to $10 per member rate as long as they never cancel. If they cancel, they cannot get it back. New buyers must take the Business plan to get full AI.
This change doubled the cost of AI for many small teams. A Plus workspace with the old add-on paid $18 per member a month on annual billing. The same workspace now pays $20 per member a month for Business. The difference is small for one seat. For a team of ten, the step from Plus to Business costs $1,200 a year.
What does the limited AI trial cover?
Free and Plus users get a limited trial of Notion AI. The trial covers a small number of AI responses. You can test document generation and database autofill. You can also try meeting notes, Enterprise Search, and Research Mode in limited form.
Notion does not publish an exact trial quota. The trial is meant for testing, not for daily work. Once it runs out, the AI features stop until you upgrade to Business. If you rely on AI every day, the trial will not last long.
Students and educators get the Plus plan free with a verified school email. That includes the same limited AI trial. It does not include full AI. Students who want full AI still need a Business seat.
Custom Agents and Notion credits
Custom Agents are a separate cost on top of Business. They are AI agents that handle repetitive tasks on their own. They are free to try. After the trial, they cost $10 per 1,000 monthly Notion credits. An annual credit pool costs $13 per 1,000 credits.
Workers, a beta feature for extending Notion with custom code, also require Notion credits. Both features are aimed at teams that automate workflows, not at casual users. Most individuals will never need them. Budget for them only if your team plans to build automations.
Is Notion AI worth the Business upgrade?
The question is not whether Notion AI is good. The question is whether it is worth $10 more per member a month than Plus. For a solo user, that is $120 a year. For a team of ten, it is $1,200 a year.
It is worth it if your team uses AI every week. Notion Agent saves time on drafting, summarising, and finding information across a workspace. AI Meeting Notes save time after every call. If those features replace another paid tool, the upgrade can pay for itself.
It is not worth it if you only want AI for occasional drafting. A standalone writing tool may cost less than $20 a month. It is also not worth it if your team rarely meets or rarely searches old notes. In that case, Plus at $10 a member a month is the better buy.
One more factor: the Business plan adds more than AI. SAML single sign-on, private teamspaces, and 90-day history matter for larger teams. If you need those anyway, the AI is effectively a bonus. If you do not need them, you are paying for features you will not use.
How to decide in 4 steps
- Use the trial. Test Notion AI on real work for a week. Count how many times it saves you real time.
- Count your seats. Multiply $10 by your member count. That is the monthly cost of the upgrade over Plus.
- Check your other tools. If Notion AI replaces a meeting notes tool or a search tool, subtract that subscription.
- Start monthly. Business costs $24 a member on monthly billing. Switch to annual billing at $20 once you know it fits.
Bottom line
Notion AI costs $20 per member a month on annual billing, or $24 on monthly billing, because it only comes with the Business plan. Free and Plus users get a limited trial and nothing more. The old $8 add-on is retired for new customers. For a solo user or a small team that uses AI daily, Business is a fair price. For everyone else, Plus at $10 a member a month is the better plan. Use the trial first, count your seats, and upgrade only when the AI earns its keep.
