Everything you need to know about Notion credits for Custom Agents, including how pricing works, how to monitor usage, and what happens once 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.

Notion credits are shared across your workspace and reset each month, so unused credits don’t roll over. Admins can buy and manage credits from the Notion credits dashboard, with additional options available through your account 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. Notion credits are available as an add-on to Business and Enterprise plans and are billed alongside your existing subscription.

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.

Now through May 3, 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 (Business and Enterprise plans) can manage who can create Custom Agents and disable Agents anytime to guide controlled rollouts.

Starting May 4, 2026:

Starting May 4, 2026, admins can purchase Notion credits. Custom Agents will start using Notion credits when they run.

If you manage billing in-product, you can buy credits directly through the Notion credits dashboard in preset tiers, ranging from hundreds to thousands. If you work with an account team, reach out to them to explore credit options.

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.

Custom Agents run on schedules or triggers and use Notion credits based on the work needed to complete each task. This can include reading information, searching across tools, reasoning through next steps, chatting with the agent, and creating or updating content. In general, the more work an agent does, the more 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.

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
Routes incoming product feedback to the correct product area

• Reads a message from a Slack channel
• Looks up the right owner in a People database
• Creates a task and assigns it to that owner

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
Routes incoming product feedback, prioritizes follow-ups, and drafts an action plan

• Reads messages from a Slack channel
• Searches across multiple databases for ownership + context
• Evaluates urgency and impact
• Creates a task with multiple fields like priority, category, and owner
• Adds a sub-page with recommended next steps
• Notifies the assigned team in Slack

More credits per run because it reads more, makes more decisions, and completes more steps each time it runs

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.

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.

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

    • Posts the answer in Slack

    • Creates a task for follow-up if the question can’t be answered

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

    • Searches project database from the past week

    • Identifies key updates and blockers

    • Writes a structured update in Notion
