| Which plan to pick | 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. | Start on the free Personal plan with a real data set. If you use it every week, Pro is enough for most people; move to Business only if you keep running out of AI credits. Monthly billing costs about 10% more than the yearly prices shown. |
