Honest answer: the standalone $10/mo Notion AI add-on was retired in 2025. The full AI suite now rides along with the Business plan (about $20 per user each month, billed annually) rather than as an à-la-carte trial. The good news is Notion's Free plan is an open-ended way to try the product, and it - along with Plus - includes a limited run of complimentary AI responses to feel the AI out before you commit.

Notion lands a notch below the cleanest exits, and it's about wording, not walls. There's no button labeled Cancel; you cancel by downgrading to the Free plan, which confuses people, and only the workspace owner can do it. No phone gate, though, so it's still self-serve online.
