Notion Pricing in 2026: Free, Plus, Business and AI Costs in USD

How much does Notion cost in 2026?

Notion is free to start, but anything beyond personal use is a per-seat subscription. These are the list prices on Notion's official pricing page, checked on October 17, 2026, in the US dollar view and before sales tax:

• Free: $0, aimed at individuals organizing personal projects.
• Plus: $10 per member per month, for small teams and professionals.
• Business: $20 per member per month, the plan Notion marks as recommended.
• Enterprise: custom price, you contact sales.

The $10 and $20 figures are yearly-billing prices. Notion's page has a Pay monthly / Pay yearly toggle and says you can save up to 20% with yearly billing. Independent guides such as Rock and PageDog put monthly billing at $12 for Plus and $24 for Business. By our calculation from those figures, that is about 17% saved per seat on yearly billing.

You pay per member. Guests are free but only see the pages they're invited to. Adding someone mid-cycle creates a prorated charge, while removing someone gives no credit, and seats are recounted at renewal. Payment is by credit or debit card only.

A custom domain is an extra on every plan: $8 per month per domain billed yearly, or $10 billed monthly. If you just want to see the app first, you can open a free Notion workspace and upgrade later.

What do you get on the Notion Free plan, and when is it not enough?

Free works well for one person. Pages and blocks are unlimited when you're the only member, so notes, tasks and a personal wiki cost nothing.

The limits show up with a team. Once a workspace has 2 or more members, the free plan caps the number of blocks. Notion doesn't publish the exact figure on its pricing page. When you hit the cap, you can still read, edit and organize existing blocks, but you can't add new ones.

The other Free limits, from the official comparison table:

• File uploads: 5 MB per file (paid plans have no cap beyond roughly 5 GB per file)
• Page history: 7 days
• External guests: 10
• Charts: 1
• Automations: buttons only, with no custom database automations

A two-person freelance studio sharing a client wiki will likely hit the block cap first. A solo user storing large PDFs will hit the 5 MB upload limit first. Either is a fair reason to move to Plus.

Notion Plus vs Business: which plan fits your team?

Plus removes the everyday limits: unlimited blocks, guests and charts, 30-day page history and custom database automations. Business adds what matters once several people, clients or security rules are involved.

Beyond Plus, Business includes:

• Notion Agent and AI Meeting Notes
• SAML SSO and domain verification
• private teamspaces and granular database permissions
• verified pages
• premium connections such as GitHub and Asana
• 90-day page history (Plus has 30)

Enterprise goes further with SCIM user provisioning, advanced security controls, an audit log, zero data retention with AI model providers (other plans have 30-day retention) and a customer success manager.

The table below shows yearly cost on yearly billing, excluding sales tax, custom domains and Custom Agent credits. Across 5 seats, Business costs $600 more per year than Plus. Across 20 seats, the gap is $2,400. The real question is whether private teamspaces, SSO or built-in AI are worth that to your team.

Our rule of thumb:

• Solo user: stay on Free until you need larger uploads or longer history, then Plus.
• Small team of 2 to 10 sharing a wiki and projects: Plus, unless you need AI for everyone or restricted spaces.
• Startup with investors, contractors or sensitive data: Business, ideally with the free months below.

How much does Notion AI cost?

On the pricing page, Notion AI is not a separate subscription. Business and Enterprise include it in the seat price, and no AI add-on is listed for any plan.

Free and Plus get only a limited trial of Notion Agent (chat, generate, autofill, translate), meeting notes and Research mode. If you want AI as a daily tool for the whole team, that's what the jump from $10 to $20 per seat buys.

The extra cost is Custom Agents. Notion says they are free to try, then $10 per 1,000 monthly Notion credits, and they need credits on Business and Enterprise. Workers, a beta feature for custom code, also use credits. One third-party site quotes $13 per 1,000 credits, which is not on Notion's page, so we use the official $10 figure.

On privacy, Notion's FAQ says it won't train its models on your data unless you opt in, and that its AI providers are contractually barred from training on customer data.

Can you try Notion Business free?

There are two routes, and they are not the same thing.

The standard 30-day trial

According to Notion's paid plan trials page, eligible teams get 30 days of Business with all its features, including Notion AI, SAML SSO and private teamspaces. You need a professional email domain and no existing Business or Enterprise plan. Personal or educational domains such as Gmail don't qualify, and you must start the trial from the web or desktop app. The page mentions no Plus trial.

If you entered card details, Business renews automatically at the end, even when you started the trial from Plus. To cancel the trial, go to Settings → Explore plans before the 30 days run out. You then drop to Free, or straight back to Plus if you started from Plus.

The startup program

Notion for Startups offers 1 to 6 months of Business free, including Notion AI, for new, non-paying customers. The 3- and 6-month offers are intended for startups building scalable, tech-related products or services. Service businesses and SMBs get 1 month. The length depends on who you are:

• Partner-affiliated startups with a code from their partner: 6 months
• Non-partner startups: 3 months on a new Business plan
• Small and medium businesses (including service businesses), teams under 10 employees, or applicants Notion can't fully verify: 1 month

The 6-month offer lists a valid Notion domain, a public company website, a company email address and fewer than 100 employees. It only applies to net new Business plans. Notion decides eligibility and says it will reach out within 2 to 5 business days if you're a good fit. So treat "up to 3 months" as a best case for a non-partner tech startup, not a promise. A team under 10 people may get just 1 month.

If you qualify, you can apply through our Notion startup link.

Cancelling, refunds and student access

Plans renew automatically until you cancel. For a paid plan, the pricing-page FAQ points to Settings → Billing → Change plan on desktop (the Settings → Explore plans path above is for trials). Paid features stay until the end of the billing cycle, and the downgrade takes effect then.

Refunds are limited. You get a full, not prorated, refund if you downgrade within 3 days of signing up for monthly billing, or within 30 days for annual billing. Seats added by mistake can be refunded pro rata if you ask within 3 days of the invoice. If a payment fails, Notion retries up to 8 times over a month, then limits the workspace and moves it to Free.

Students and educators get Plus free, limited to 1 member. Sign up with a school email and access starts right away. Thousands of school domains qualify, not only .edu. Compared with Free you get more guests, longer history and bigger uploads, but school domains can't use the Business trial.

Which Notion plan should you choose?

Start with the cheapest plan that removes the limit you actually hit.

• Just you, notes and personal projects: Free. Students and educators should take the free Plus instead.
• You need big uploads, 30-day history or automations: Plus at $10 per seat on yearly billing.
• A team that wants Notion Agent, SSO or private teamspaces: Business at $20 per seat, ideally after the 30-day trial or the startup program.
• Large organization with audit and provisioning needs: talk to Notion sales about Enterprise.

For more on the app itself, see our Notion overview. If your real need is tracking tasks and sprints rather than docs and wikis, ClickUp, a project-management tool, is a different kind of product with its own pricing model.
