What’s the difference between Standard, Select and Notion credits?
What’s the difference between Standard, Select and Notion credits?
Standard and Select credits come with workspaces on a Business or Enterprise plan.
Standard credits cover work where Notion picks the model.
Select credits cover work where you pick a model yourself or use a Custom Agent that you’ve set up.
Notion credits are a separate, workspace-managed balance an owner can turn on, so you can keep going once your Standard or Select credits have run out.
Standard and Select credits are separate per-member balances. These balances can’t be pooled across the workspace, transferred between members or exchanged for other credit types. They’re not “Notion credits” as defined in the Notion AI and Notion Credit Terms and don’t count towards your Notion credit limit. The workspace-managed Notion credits described above are “Notion credits” under those terms.

Which credits does Notion Agent use?

On Auto, Notion Agent uses your Standard credits. When you pick a model yourself, it uses your Select credits.
How do Custom Agents use credits?
How do Custom Agents use credits?
A Custom Agent that you set up uses your Select credits, even when you share it with your team. Once your Select credits have run out, it uses any extra credits a workspace owner has given you. After that, it switches to your workspace’s Notion credits automatically (if an owner allows it). An owner can fund the agent with Notion credits at any time. You can also ask an workspace owner to do this.

I pay through the App Store or Google Play. How do my credits work?
If your plan includes AI, you get the same monthly Standard and Select credits as Business plans.

To buy more credits, a workspace owner must first cancel the existing plan, wait for it to fully expire, then move billing to notion.com on a Business or Enterprise plan that includes AI.
