Notion AI has evolved from a simple wrapper to a legitimate productivity layer, but the 2026 pricing shift is a gut punch—full access is now effectively bundled into the $20/mo/user Business plan. If your team lives in Notion, the 'Q&A' feature alone is worth the money; it replaces internal Slack questions by actually finding answers in your docs. However, developers should steer clear if they want an AI API—Notion locks their AI logic inside their UI, offering no programmatic access to their engine.
