Notion pricing

Prices, plan limits and FAQ wording checked Oct 28, 2026 on notion.com/pricing; student terms checked the same day in Notion’s education help page. USD. No affiliate links on this page (how we work).

What you’ll actually pay

Notion is free for personal use. The Free plan is $0, and Notion’s own card describes it as “For individuals to organize personal projects and life.” If you’re the only person in the workspace, “you’ll be able to add as many pages and blocks as you like” (Notion pricing FAQ, Oct 28, 2026).

Above that: Plus is $10 per member a month billed yearly, or $12 billed monthly. Business is $20 billed yearly, or $24 monthly. Enterprise is “Custom pricing”. The $10 and $20 you see first on Notion’s page are the yearly-billed rates; flip the “Pay monthly” toggle and they go up (checked Oct 28, 2026).

When is Plus worth it? When a second person joins your workspace, or when you need to upload files bigger than 5 MB. Solo note-taker with small files? Stay on Free. Notion isn’t hiding the ball here, which, for a pricing page in 2026, almost feels like a plot twist.

Free plan limits

Straight from Notion’s comparison grid (verified Oct 28, 2026):

• Pages and blocks: unlimited when you’re alone; “Limited for 2+ members”. With a team on Free, you get “a limited number of blocks before you have to upgrade”. Notion doesn’t put a number on that limit on the pricing page, which is very Lumon of them: the work is mysterious and important, and you’ll learn the cap when you hit it. Hit it and “you can still read, edit, and organize existing content blocks as usual, but you won’t be able to add new content blocks.”
• File uploads: “Up to 5 MB” per file on Free, versus “Up to 5 GB” on every paid plan.
• Page history: 7 days on Free, 30 days on Plus, 90 days on Business, custom on Enterprise.
• Guests: an external guest limit of 10 on Free.
• Notion AI: a “Trial of Notion AI”, not the full thing.
• Extras: basic forms, basic sites, Notion Calendar, and one chart.

The 5 MB file cap is the one that bites first. One scanned PDF of a lease and you’re suddenly shopping for Plus.

Yearly vs monthly

Notion says “Save up to 20% with yearly”. For the two plans with a public price, the math is:

• Plus: $12 × 12 = $144 billed monthly, versus $120 billed yearly. You save $24 per member.
• Business: $24 × 12 = $288 billed monthly, versus $240 billed yearly. You save $48 per member.

That’s about 17% on both, and “up to 20%” is doing some heavy lifting there. Somewhere at Notion, a Roger Sterling type rounded up over a three-martini lunch.

Refunds differ by billing period too: a full refund if you downgrade “within three days of signing up for monthly billing, or within 30 days of signing up for annual billing” (EU customers get 14 days on monthly). Adding a member mid-cycle adds a prorated charge. Removing one doesn’t refund the seat, but you keep it to hand to someone else until renewal (notion.com/pricing, Oct 28, 2026).

Does Notion Plus include AI?

Not really. Free and Plus both list a “Trial of Notion AI”, and the grid marks Notion Agent (chat, generate, autofill, translate) as “Limited Trial” on both. The full AI kit starts at Business, which lists “Notion Agent”, “AI Meeting Notes” and “Enterprise Search Beta”.

Custom Agents (Notion’s automations that run on their own) are “Free to try, then $10 per 1,000 monthly Notion credits”. A standalone Notion AI add-on price for Plus isn’t published on the pricing page, so if a site quotes one, check the current price on Notion’s page before you trust it (verified Oct 28, 2026).

So the real Notion AI price, if you want it in full, is the jump from Plus to Business: $8 more per member a month on yearly billing, or $12 more on monthly. Making “AI” the reason to double your bill is a choice. I don’t love it, but at least the grid says so plainly instead of slipping it into a footnote.

Notion for students

This is the best deal on the page. Notion’s FAQ: “The Plus Plan (with a 1-member limit) is free for students and educators.” Sign up with your school email, and “Thousands of school email domains are eligible, not just .edu!”

From Notion’s education help page (verified Oct 28, 2026):

• It’s open to individual students and teachers at accredited colleges and universities, at no cost, “at any time”.
• You get up to 100 guests, more version history and larger uploads than Free.
• “There is no set end date”. You re-verify your status once a year with your school email.
• Notion doesn’t accept student IDs (“We don’t accept student IDs or other documentation to verify”), and each school email works once, for one workspace.
• K-12 students and educators are pointed to the Free plan instead.

Notion doesn’t publish a free trial of Plus itself, so for anyone outside school, the “trial” is the Free plan.
