    Core Pricing Structure

  • Pricing Model: Pay-per-unit

  • Primary Value Metric: Number of users

  • Freemium: Yes, with core features and usage limitations (e.g., guest invites, sync limits, file uploads, and page history)

    Monetization Strategy

  • AI features are available as an add-on, separate from core plans

  • AI is charged per user rather than being included in base plans

  • AI capabilities are exclusive to paying users, encouraging adoption among teams

  • By keeping the core product freemium while monetizing AI as a premium add-on, Notion ensures a steady expansion path. The per-user AI pricing encourages wider adoption across teams while keeping AI costs controlled and predictable.
