  • Prices remained largely the same during the rename

Before

2020Major change

Free plan made genuinely free for individuals

  • The block limit on the free Personal plan was removed entirely
  • Individual users got unlimited pages and blocks at no cost
  • This was a transformative move that drove massive user acquisition
  • Made Notion a viable free alternative to Evernote, Google Docs, and OneNote
  • File upload (5 MB) and guest (10) limits remained as the upgrade triggers

Before

Free plan: 1,000 block limit

After

Free plan: Unlimited blocks for individuals

What to Expect Next

Further AI feature gating is likely. Notion has a clear trend of moving premium features up the plan ladder. Advanced AI features (agents, custom workflows) may become Enterprise-only in the future.

Plus price increases are possible. Plus has remained at $10/user/mo (annual) for several years. As inflation and AI costs increase, a bump to $12-14/user/mo would not be surprising.

Credit-based AI pricing may expand. The new AI Agents feature uses a credit system ($10/1,000 credits). This model could expand to other AI features, potentially adding variable costs on top of the flat per-seat price.
