Key findings
- Business costs US$20 per member per month billed yearly or US$24 billed monthly. Moving 100 members from Plus, at US$10 billed yearly, to Business adds US$12,000 a year before any credits (GILD calculation).
- At Notion's monthly credit price, a member's included credits are worth about US$15 in Standard and US$5 in Select a month (GILD calculation). They reset monthly, cannot be pooled or moved between members, and overflow onto Notion credits only if an admin allows it.
- Annual credits cost US$13 per 1,000, 30% more than monthly credits, in exchange for a full subscription year to use them (GILD calculation).
- Notion estimates US$0.03 to US$0.30 per Custom Agent run. A Slack Q&A agent answering 20 questions a working day, about 440 runs a month, would cost about US$13 to US$48 a month (GILD calculation from Notion's range).
- High credit consumption models draw on Notion credits from the start and cost substantially more than the models included in the plan. AI Meeting Notes starts spending Standard credits on December 1, 2026, about 10 per one-hour meeting by Notion's estimate.
Budget Notion AI as a Business or Enterprise seat for every member plus Notion credits for the agents teams run. From November 2, 2026, each seat includes 1,500 Standard and 500 Select credits a month. Work past those credits, workspace-funded Custom Agents, and premium models spend Notion credits at US$10 per 1,000.
The seat sets the floor
Every member of a Business or Enterprise workspace is a paid seat, so turning on Notion AI is a plan decision for the whole workspace. Notion folded AI into Business and Enterprise in May 2025. Both include Notion Agent, AI Meeting Notes, Enterprise Search, and Research Mode, and Free and Plus get a limited trial. The table shows list prices per member per month in US dollars, checked October 12, 2026.
| Plan | Billed monthly | Notion AI | Billed yearly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | US$0 | Limited trial | |
| Plus | US$12 | Limited trial | |
| Business | US$24 | Included, with a usage allowance |

Included credits replace the usage allowance
Existing Business and Enterprise workspaces run Notion Agent and some other AI features under a usage allowance until November 2, 2026. Notion measures it over a rolling six-hour window and the monthly billing cycle. New workspaces moved to included credits on October 19, 2026.
On the new system, each member gets 1,500 Standard credits a month for work where Notion picks the model, such as Notion Agent on Auto, AI editing, and translation. Each member also gets 500 Select credits for work where they pick the model or run a Custom Agent they own. When a member runs out, those features pause until the monthly reset. An admin can let members continue on Notion credits instead, a setting that is off by default.
AI Meeting Notes keeps its cap of 10 hours a day per user. Workers use no credits while in beta, and premium models always bill the workspace's Notion credits.
Credits scale with the work agents do
Every Custom Agent run spends credits, and a run costs more when the agent reads more content, takes more steps, runs more often, or uses a stronger model. An agent spends its owner's Select credits by default, even when the team shares it, and an admin can fund it from the workspace's Notion credits with a monthly budget. Notion publishes cost estimates for common agents and recommends sizing credits from one or two billing cycles of real usage. Remote's IT team reports that its agents used 35% fewer credits and 7% less spend than in their launch month as their instructions improved.
| Agent | Estimated range per run | Runs per 1,000 credits, or US$10 | Upper estimate per run |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q&A agent | US$0.03 to US$0.11 | 90 to 333 | |
| Task routing agent | US$0.05 to US$0.15 | 65 to 190 | |
| Status update agent | US$0.08 to US$0.18 | 57 to 133 | |
| Mail triage agent | US$0.04 to US$0.10 | 100 to 250 | |
| Daily brief agent | US$0.10 to US$0.30 | 33 to 100 |

How the credit model compares
Atlassian prices extra Rovo usage at the same US$10 per 1,000 credits once a plan's monthly allowance is spent, and Confluence plans include 25 to 150 credits per user. Billing for extra usage starts December 3, 2026, and extra usage is on by default. Glean's Enterprise Flex licenses seats per user and draws agent runs, premium-model reasoning queries, and standard-model reasoning beyond 100 queries per user per week from a pooled FlexCredit allowance. Glean lists no dollar prices, so get a quote for the same agent volume before you compare.
- Budget a seat for every member, then credits for each team that runs agents.
- Estimate each agent's monthly runs, multiply by Notion's range, and replace the estimate with the dashboard figure after one billing cycle.
- Keep premium models off for Notion Agent until a team has work that justifies the provider's token rates.
- Review the credits dashboard by member and by agent each week while usage grows.
Methodology
GILD read Notion's pricing page and its help pages on Notion AI, the usage allowance, Notion credits, and Custom Agent pricing on October 12, 2026. It rechecked the credit pages on October 25, 2026, after Notion announced included Standard and Select credits. Atlassian's and Glean's pricing documentation supplies the comparison. GILD's calculations multiply list prices by stated quantities and are not quotes. Remote's credit figures come from a Notion customer story dated July 21, 2026.
