Notion publishes 3 tiers, starting with a free plan. The cheapest paid tier is $0/mo and the top published tier is $18/mo. In Project Management the median entry price is $9.50/mo, so Notion sits outside the measured band. Verified 2026-04-26 from the vendor pricing page.
Notion's pricing structure is built around a personal-free tier that is good enough for indie use but creates friction at the team-collaboration boundary. The Team tier (~$10/seat/mo) is the trigger; Business and Enterprise climb from there. AI is priced as an add-on rather than a tier, which lets Notion add new revenue without disturbing the seat ladder. The lesson: personal-free can drive team-paid if the friction sits at the right boundary.

Freemium. Freemium only works when the marginal cost of a free user is close to zero and the upgrade trigger fires at a moment when willingness-to-pay structurally rises. These are the ladders that do it in practice.
