Yesterday Notion announced a modified pricing scheme. Simple it is not. AI credits now fall into three buckets. 

The company's post [here](https://www.notion.com/releases/2026-10-19?ref=philsimon.com) explains the changes but lacks a proper visual. I fired up Claude and decided to create one. I know that [my clients](https://www.philsimon.com/services-notion-development/) and I will benefit. Maybe you will as well.

From the post:

Frontier quality at 90% lower cost. Because you shouldn’t need a major in models to pick one.

## Simon Says

We'll see if Notion's claim ultimately holds true.
