The short version

  • Only ChatGPT has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: ChatGPT openAI's own pricing page, as captured by the Internet Archive in 2023, listed ChatGPT Plus at $20 per user per month, Team at $25 to $30 per user per month with a minimum of 2 users, and Enterprise available only from 150 users. The live page refuses automated reads, so these are 2023 figures and the tiers have changed since.; Notion AI full AI access including agents and meeting notes requires the Business plan at $20 per member per month, double the $10 Plus plan
  • They diverge on capability: ChatGPT covers Natural language conversation, Notion AI covers Writing assistance.

Notion AI

  • Full AI access including agents and meeting notes requires the Business plan at $20 per member per month, double the $10 Plus plan
  • The Free and Plus plans offer trial AI capabilities rather than the full feature set
  • AI is not sold separately from the workspace seat, so every member must be upgraded to reach it
  • Zero data retention with LLM providers is Enterprise only, which is custom priced
