OpenAI
ChatGPT Enterprise
A workplace AI assistant that helps staff write, research, and analyze data, kept private and never used to train the model.
A shared workspace for notes, documents, and databases with AI writing, search, and agents built in, now bundled into the Business plan.
Notion AI is the AI layer inside Notion, a shared workspace where teams keep notes, documents, and databases. Staff use it to draft and rewrite text, get instant answers with citations from company pages through Ask Notion, and generate automatic meeting notes. It searches across connected apps like Gmail, Slack, and GitHub, and Notion Agents can carry out multi-step tasks, such as triaging product feedback or drafting a weekly report, across those tools. Teams such as OpenAI, Figma, and Vercel use Notion. As of 2026, full Notion AI access moved into the Business plan and is no longer a separate add-on; Free and Plus users get only a limited trial. The Enterprise plan adds zero data retention with outside AI providers and SCIM user provisioning.
This fits a company that already uses Notion, or is considering it, as the main hub for notes, documents, and project tracking, since its AI works best on content already stored there rather than on outside files. A workable starting point is upgrading one team to the Business plan, now the lowest tier with full AI search, writing, and Notion Agent access. As a planning figure, budget about $20 per user per month for Business; Enterprise is priced separately for companies that need SCIM provisioning and zero data retention from AI providers. AI answers depend on how well the workspace is organized, and messy or duplicate pages produce weaker answers, so plan some cleanup time before or during rollout rather than treating this as a switch to flip on.

Estimate assumptions: Based on 20 enabled users. This is a planning allowance, not verified product pricing. Confirm the vendor’s billing unit and current price or quote before budgeting.
Benefits have not been estimated: The current research does not estimate potential savings, return on investment, or how long it would take to recover the cost. Earlier benefit estimates are excluded.
Confirm current product identity, commercial packaging, data processing terms, sign-in and access rules, retention, integrations, support model, implementation effort, and rollback conditions.
Verify identity, package, availability, ownership, pricing, and security evidence before approving a pilot
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
Define what success looks like for a test of Notion AI and assign someone to lead it.
Once the requirements above are met, compare a small trial with how your team works today.
Track adoption, output quality, business results, and actual costs against the estimate.
Use the results to decide whether to stop, adjust, or expand the pilot.
Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.
Review before rollout: confirm how to export your data, revoke access, and return to your existing workflow. Assign an owner and test the rollback plan before expanding use.
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
