Notion's pricing page shows four plans: Free at $0, Plus at $10, Business at $20 per member a month, and Enterprise at custom pricing. The visible figures do not say which billing period they assume. The price data embedded in the same page does: $10 and $20 are the yearly rates ($120 and $240 a year per member), and monthly billing is $12 and $24. The page itself says you save up to 20% with yearly billing. Here is what each plan buys and how the bill moves as a team changes.
1. Free and Plus
Free includes databases with subtasks, dependencies and custom properties, basic forms and sites, and a trial of Notion AI. Its limits are what push teams up: blocks are limited once a workspace has two or more members, file uploads are capped at 5 MB each, and page history lasts 7 days. Plus, at $10 per member a month billed yearly, lifts uploads to 5 GB each and history to 30 days, adds custom forms and sites and charts, and per the FAQ allows more guests than Free. Plus still includes only a trial of Notion AI. Notion also says Plus is free for students and educators, limited to one member.
2. Business and Enterprise
Business, at $20 per member a month billed yearly, is where Notion's AI arrives in full: Notion Agent, which completes multi-step tasks using context from Notion, connected apps and the web, plus AI Meeting Notes and Enterprise Search, which is in beta. It also adds SAML single sign-on, granular database permissions, private teamspaces and 90 days of page history. Enterprise adds SCIM provisioning, the audit log, advanced security controls and zero data retention with Notion's LLM providers; on the other plans the table lists 30-day retention.
3. Custom Agents Run on Credits
Custom Agents, which handle repetitive tasks on their own, are free to try and then cost $10 per 1,000 monthly Notion credits; Workers, Notion's beta platform for custom code, also requires credits. The pricing page does not say how many credits a given agent run uses, so price a pilot before you budget. Notion's agents page says each Custom Agent gets its own permissions, that every run is logged, that changes can be undone with version history, and that admins can stop any agent.
4. How Seats Are Counted
Notion bills per member; guests are free but see only the pages they are invited to. Adding a member uses an open paid seat if there is one, otherwise the seat count rises by one with a prorated charge. Removing a member frees the seat but earns no credit, and seat counts sync to the real member count at the start of each billing period. Even on an annual plan, membership changes can create prorated monthly charges. Upgrades are charged immediately; downgrades take effect at the end of the cycle. Custom domains are an $8 a month add-on per domain billed annually, or $10 monthly.
5. What a 12-Person Team Pays
Twelve people on Plus cost $120 a month billed yearly or $144 monthly; on Business, $240 or $288, before any Custom Agent credits. For comparison, Kavanah bills one seat at a time: Basic is $3 a seat a month ($2 billed yearly), so $36 a month for 12 people, with 100 AI credits per seat pooled across the workspace, and Pro is $6 ($4 yearly) with 250. Kavanah's Pay as you go plan drops the seat fee entirely and you buy credits in packs from $10 per 1,000. The free Starter plan covers up to 5 members and 10 projects.
Notion's price is simple per member; the real decision is whether you need Business for the AI and SSO, and how many agent credits you will burn. For how Notion's plans compare with Kavanah, ClickUp and Asana for project work, see our Notion alternative page.
