Notion review
A flexible workspace combining collaborative documents, databases, knowledge, and AI.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Notion is a cloud-based workspace for teams and individuals creating documents, internal knowledge bases, databases, project plans, and collaborative workflows. Its block-based pages support structured content, while databases add custom properties, filters, subtasks, and dependencies. The product suits teams that want documents, lightweight project coordination, and operational knowledge in one workspace rather than separate tools for each use case.
The plan structure covers both individual adoption and larger organizations. Free includes basic forms, basic sites, Notion Calendar, and databases. Plus costs $10 per member per month on monthly billing and adds custom forms, custom sites, unlimited charts, unlimited file uploads, and basic connections. Business costs $20 per member per month and adds Notion Agent, AI Meeting Notes, Enterprise Search, SAML SSO, and premium connections. Enterprise adds SCIM provisioning, advanced security controls, audit logs, and SIEM and DLP connections at custom pricing. This makes the free and Plus tiers suitable for exploring the workspace, while Business and Enterprise are aimed at teams with broader AI, identity, and governance requirements.
Its ecosystem is a significant part of the product’s scope. Notion connects with Slack, Google Drive, Microsoft Teams, GitHub, Jira, Asana, and Zapier, and provides a public API with connection webhooks. Teams can publish pages to the web, use custom domains, search workspace and enterprise content, and restore earlier page versions. Web, Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Chrome extension, and API access support varied working environments. Choose Notion when your team needs a broad, customizable workspace for documents, knowledge, databases, and workflows. Consider an alternative if you need advanced security controls without Enterprise or prefer a narrowly focused document collaboration tool.
