Notion's paid plans cost $10-$18/month per user, and Notion AI adds $10/month per user on top. That's potentially $28/month for a note-taking app with AI. Notion's free tier is generous — here's how to downgrade and save.
Notion Free limits: 10 guest collaborators, 5MB file uploads, 7 days of page history. If you have team workspaces with guests, you may lose access to shared pages. Export important content first.
| Feature | Free | Plus ($10/mo) |
|---|---|---|
| Pages & blocks | Unlimited ✅ | Unlimited ✅ |
| File uploads | 5MB limit | Unlimited |
| Guests | 10 | 100 |
| Page history | 7 days | 30 days |
| Databases | Unlimited ✅ | Unlimited ✅ |
| API access | ✅ | ✅ |
Unlimited pages, unlimited blocks, unlimited databases, API access — all free. The main paid features are bigger file uploads (work around with links to Google Drive/Dropbox) and more guests. For personal use, Free is almost always enough.
Notion AI costs $10/month ($120/year) per user. Compare that to:
Unless Notion AI saves you significant time by being inside your notes, a free AI chatbot in another tab does the same thing.
