Notion costs $0 to $24 per user monthly as of July 2, 2026, across four plans, with a free tier individuals can genuinely live on. Plans: Free (free), Plus at $12/user/mo ($10 billed annually), Business at $24/user/mo ($20 billed annually), and Enterprise on custom pricing. The line that surprises teams is AI: Custom Agents bill $10 per 1,000 monthly Notion credits once the trial ends, on top of every seat you already pay for. Go annual and Plus drops to $10, Business to $20. That is the whole discount story.
At $12/mo to start, Notion sits 20% above the $10/mo median across 18 project management tools we track.
The seat price is only half the bill. Notion runs AI on its own credit currency, resets that currency every month, and caps free-plan collaboration the moment a second person shows up. Budget for these four before you commit.
Independent analysis · Notion
The Plus plan at $12/user/mo ($10 billed annually) delivers strong value, with unlimited collaborative blocks and custom sites. The Business plan doubles that to $24/user/mo ($20 annually) to unlock granular permissions, SAML SSO, and full Notion AI, which pushes it above the market average. The Free plan is genuinely generous for individual note-taking. Paying for the higher tiers is only worth it if you run complex team databases or need centralized workspace administration.
Users report frustration with recent Plus price increases and the token-based credit model for automated features. There are also complaints about rigid billing and difficulty getting refunds on misconfigured accounts.
"new Custom Agents credits pricing and no-rollover policy makes even a simple daily agent cost about **$30/month**"
"Predatory pricing policy. I've stopped recommending Notion to the companies I work with."
Based on analysis of recent Reddit and G2 discussions.
The Plus plan at $12/user/mo combines docs, wikis, and project tasks in one interface.
"The free plan already seems pretty generous"
"Notion AI's pricing change could penalize power users"
Solo users and casual organizers should stay on the Free plan. Teams that need shared databases should take Plus at $12/user/mo, and skip Business unless SAML SSO or included AI is a hard requirement. If you want structured, out-of-the-box task management rather than building a workspace from scratch, look at ClickUp starting at $10/user/mo.
