Notion pricing, use cases, and first steps

Notion is a shared workspace: pages for writing, databases for tracking projects, a wiki for the team. Its AI, Notion AI, adds an agent that searches your pages and connected apps, writes, fills in your databases, and takes meeting notes.

Notion has a free plan. The recommended plan to start with: Business, €19.50 per member per month. Prices checked on October 5, 2026 on the vendor’s official page.

What Notion does

Who it’s for: Teams that already keep their notes, projects, or procedures in Notion, and want to find and use them faster.

Notion Agent: it writes and files for you

You talk to it as you would to a colleague. It creates and edits pages and databases, answers from the content of your workspace, and reads the files you give it: PDF, Excel, Word, PowerPoint.

Search everywhere at once

You ask a question. The answer draws on Notion and on connected apps, such as Slack, Google Drive, Jira, Teams, or SharePoint, and it cites its sources.

AI meeting notes

Notion listens to the meeting from your computer, with no bot invited to the call. At the end, you get the transcript, a summary, and the list of action items, each linked to the passage it comes from.

Also

  • Tracking databases built on request
  • Act in Slack, Gmail, and calendar
  • Custom agents: work that runs on its own

Notion pricing

Prices checked on October 3, 2026 on Notion’s French page, in euros. On October 4, 2026, the pricing page viewed from outside France shows $10 and $20 per member per month. Yearly billing saves up to 20%: check, when you pay, whether the price shown is for monthly or yearly payment. Prices are counted per member; guests are free. The Plus plan is free for students and teachers, for one person. Custom agents cost extra: $10 for 1,000 credits per month, after a free trial.

What the free plan includes

Pages, an unlimited number of databases, Notion Calendar, and ten outside guests. Files limited to 5 MB. AI is offered only as a limited trial.

Nova’s advice

Notion’s AI is only worth it if your team already keeps its work in Notion. If so, ask your employer for the Business plan: the Free and Plus plans give only a limited trial of the AI. If you just want an assistant for writing, a tool such as ChatGPT or Claude is enough.

Free or paid: how usage is counted

One subscription per user. AI is included from Business up. Custom agents are paid for in credits.

Your data. By default, neither Notion nor its AI providers use your data to train their AI.

What it does less well

  • Without the Business plan, the AI comes down to a limited trial. And without content already stored in Notion, it has nothing to work from.
  • The agent cannot do everything: it does not create database automations, page templates, comments, or reminders.
Have the agent tidy up your meeting notesNotion
  1. Open Notion and click the small face at the bottom of the screen. A chat opens.
  2. Paste the prompt below, followed by your rough notes.
  3. The agent creates the page. Open it and check the names and dates.
  4. Then ask: “Turn the action items into a table, with an Owner column and a Due date column.”
  5. Share the page with the participants.

The prompt to copy

Create a page called “Committee meeting summary” from my notes below. Three parts: the decisions made, the action items with an owner and a date, the points left open. Short sentences. Don’t make anything up: if a date is missing, write “TBD.”
