ClinicianOur pick See website (14-day free trial) A clinician who uses it every day. | Plus $10/member/mo billed yearly Small teams who want shared docs without the AI. | ProOur pick $15/mo, or $12/mo billed yearly Anyone who talks more than they type. | |
Practice Custom Clinics with several practitioners. | BusinessOur pick $20/member/mo billed yearly Teams who want the AI properly switched on. | Growth $23/user/mo, or $18/user/mo billed yearly Teams with security or compliance needs. | |
Enterprise Custom Health services and large groups. | Enterprise Custom Larger companies with security and compliance needs. | Enterprise Custom Large managed rollouts. | |
| Which plan to pick | Start on Free for a couple of weeks of real consults. If it saves you time every day, trial the Clinician plan; if you need notes to flow into your practice software or want one bill for the clinic, ask about Practice. | Solo users can stay on Free for a long time. For a team the honest answer is Business, because Plus leaves out the AI that makes Notion interesting now. Note that yearly billing is what gets you the $10 and $20 prices, and monthly billing costs more. | Free tells you within a day whether talking suits you. If you hit the weekly cap, which most people do fast, Pro on the yearly plan is the one. Growth is only about security paperwork. |
