Notion review: our take
Notion AI makes the most sense for a team that already keeps its docs and projects in Notion. Notion Agent drafts and edits pages and fills in databases, AI Meeting Notes transcribes and summarizes calls without a bot joining, and Enterprise Search answers questions from Notion and tools like Slack and GitHub.
The plan decides what you get. Full AI comes with Business at $24 per member a month, or $20 billed yearly, while Free and Plus, at $12, include only a limited trial. Custom Agents cost extra, at $10 per 1,000 Notion credits. For AI chat without a workspace, look at ChatGPT or Claude; for meeting notes alone, Otter.
