Custom Agent pricing

Learn how Notion credits are used to price Custom Agents, how usage is tracked and what to expect when billing begins.
Notion credits are used to run Custom Agents and are available as an add-on for Business and Enterprise plans. How many credits a Custom Agent uses depends on the task. Simple tasks use fewer credits, while more complex, multi-step workflows use more.
Admins can purchase monthly Notion credits that are shared across a workspace and reset every month. Unused credits don’t roll over. Additional credit options are available through our sales team.

There are no changes to Business or Enterprise plan pricing
Existing AI features like Notion Agent, AI Meeting Notes, and Enterprise Search remain included at no extra cost and do not use Notion credits.
Now until 3 May 2026:
Custom Agents are free to use on Business and Enterprise plans, including Business trials. During this time, teams can explore how Custom Agents fit into their workflows, and admins can track their team’s patterns in the Notion credits dashboard to understand usage and estimate future credit needs.
Admins can manage who can create Custom Agents (Enterprise plan only) and disable agents anytime (Business and Enterprise plans) to guide controlled rollouts.
Starting 4 May 2026:
Custom Agents will start using Notion credits when they run. You can use the Notion credits dashboard to:
Track usage in real time: See how many credits your workspace has used and projected spend through your monthly reset date.
View agent-level insights: See which agents are using the most credits.
Disable agents: stop agents that are burning through credits and fine-tune the Custom Agents with the owner until you’re ready to resume.
Adjust frequency or scope: run agents less often or narrow what they can access to reduce credit usage.

What happens if I don’t purchase credits starting May 4, 2026?
If your workspace has live Custom Agents from the free beta, admins will need to purchase Notion credits to keep them running. If there aren’t enough credits, Custom Agents will pause at your next monthly service date.
If there are insufficient credits, Custom Agents will pause automatically so you’re never charged unexpectedly. They’ll only resume running once an admin purchases Notion credits.
Admins can purchase Notion credits starting 4 May 2026, either in-product or through their account team.
Custom Agents run on a schedule or triggers, and use Notion credits based on the work required to complete the task. This can include reading information, searching across tools, reasoning through next steps and creating or updating content. The more work a Custom Agent does, the more Notion credits it uses.
The amount of Notion credits used depends on these key factors:
How much information a Custom Agent works with: reading longer pages, searching more content or scanning larger databases generally uses more credits.
Connected tools: each tool a Custom Agent interacts with adds steps, which can increase credit usage.
How many steps are involved: more complex, multi-step workflows use more credits than simple tasks.
How often a Custom Agent runs: Custom Agents that run on a schedule or are triggered frequently will use more credits over time.
Model choice: more advanced models use more credits because they handle more complex reasoning. For most use cases, we recommend Auto, which lets Notion choose the best model for each task.
After each run, admins can see exact usage in the Notion credits dashboard.

How Notion credits are priced
Notion credits cost $10 per 1,000 Notion credits, with each Custom Agent run using credits based on task complexity. You can purchase pre-set amounts in-product starting in the hundreds and scaling into the thousands based on your team’s needs.
If you have an account team, you can purchase Notion credits through them with additional credit options available to fit your needs.
Here’s an example that shows why two Custom Agents with similar goals may use different amounts of Notion credits:
Example: | Custom Agent type | What happens behind the scenes (typical steps) | Why it uses more / fewer credits per run |
|---|---|---|---|
Example 1 | Simple Task Routing Agent | • Reads a message from a Slack channel | Fewer credits per run because it processes a small amount of info and takes only a few steps |
Example 2 | More complex Task Routing Agent | • Reads messages from a Slack channel | More credits per run because it reads more, makes more decisions and completes more steps each time it runs |
Use the examples below to get a general sense of potential costs, but keep in mind your actual Custom Agent provides the most accurate estimate of your expected Notion credit needs.
The examples below show Custom Agents that run approximately 30–60 times per 1,000 Notion credits, based on their tasks. Your usage may be higher or lower depending on how your Custom Agent is set up.

Key takeaway
Even if two Custom Agents run the same number of times per month, the one that takes more complex steps per run will use more Notion credits.
Example 1: Q&A agent
What it does: answers company policy questions in Slack
What it typically works with:
Searches Notion policy databases
Writes a short response

Example 2: Task Routing Agent
What it does: routes feature requests or bugs to the right engineering team
What it typically works with:
Reads messages from connected Slack channel
Searches team database and identifies the correct team
Creates a task with a few properties like owner, priority and category
Sends a notification
Example 3: Status update agent
What it does: creates a weekly leadership update on progress and risks
What it typically works with:
Reviews your team’s meeting notes

Identifies key updates and blockers
Writes a structured update in Notion
