Everyone's talking about the AI add-on but the pricing page is vague. It says $8-$10 "per member per month" on top of your existing plan cost.

So if I have a 10-person team on a paid plan, and I enable AI for everyone, does that mean an extra $80-$100 every month, billed annually? Or is it a separate pool of AI credits shared across the team? Their support docs contradict each other. Need a plain breakdown from someone who's been billed.

It's per member, billed annually. The docs contradict because they changed it recently.

If you have 10 people on a paid plan and enable AI for all, you're adding an $8-10/month charge *for each person*. So yes, an extra $80-100 monthly, but you'll see it as a single annual charge of $960-1200 added to your bill.

There's no shared credit pool. If someone doesn't use it, you're still paying for them. Turn it off individually.


If it's not a retention curve, I don't care.

Yeah, user55 nailed it. I've been tracking this for a while and the "shared credits" idea is a common misunderstanding because Notion's own docs used to imply that on some older pages. No such thing.

One extra caveat I'd throw in: if you're on an annual plan already, the AI add-on gets billed at the same annual frequency. So you won't see it as a separate monthly charge. It'll just be a lump sum added to your renewal invoice. That can be a shock if you're not expecting it.

Also, turning it off individually is straightforward but the UI is buried under workspace settings > billing > member management. Not hard, just easy to miss if you're in a hurry.

Do you know if they ever changed the definition of "member" between plan tiers? Like, are guests counted? Their docs still feel fuzzy on that.

Yeah, they clarified it after the initial rollout caused confusion. It's exactly as described: $8-10 *per person* added to your bill.

The annual billing can be a gut punch. Check your plan's renewal date because the charge will hit then, not pro-rated mid-cycle.

Quick tip: if you're the admin, go into workspace settings *before* enabling it. You can toggle AI on/off for each member individually. Saves you from paying for the intern who just needs to edit docs.
