Business StandardOur pick A$19.80/user/mo on a 1-year commitment Most small businesses that want AI in their documents. | Business $45/seat/mo Teams sharing a budget. | Plus $10/member/mo Small teams who want Notion without the AI. | |
Business Plus A$30.90/user/mo on a 1-year commitment Teams needing more storage, Vault and tighter device control. | Enterprise Custom Large organisations. | BusinessOur pick $20/member/mo Teams who want the full AI features. | |

| Which plan to pick | Business Standard is the plan to be on. Starter is cheap but leaves out Gemini in Docs, Sheets and Slides, which is the whole point. Only move to Plus if you need Vault or the extra storage, not for the AI. | Standard covers most individuals; watch the usage dashboard on your first big job. Move to Business when several people need it or you want to run it on your own AI account. | 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. |
