| Which plan to pick | Use the free credits to make two or three decks and judge the output. If you'll keep using it, Plus is the sensible step because it removes the badge and refreshes credits monthly. Only move to Pro if you want the API, custom domains or viewer analytics. | Use Free to test it on your own data. If you analyse numbers most weeks, Pro is the plan most users land on because the cheaper tier's message cap runs out fast. Check the live pricing page, as plans and limits changed several times in 2026. | There's no half-way option: Business is the first plan with real Notion AI, so budget $20 a member a month. If your team is five people on Plus, that's an extra $50 a month, which is fair if meeting notes and search save each person an hour a week. |
