Notion Shifts to Monetization-First Changes with No Refund on Prepaid Plans
Notion users report that the product has shifted from user-focused innovation to recurring monetization changes, while longstanding mobile app usability issues go unaddressed.

Notion charges a base subscription fee then gates AI features behind an additional credit system, creating a double-billing structure that users perceive as extractive relative to the core product value. The credit model obscures actual costs and forces users to ration feature usage even after paying for a plan. The perception of being charged twice for the same product erodes trust and drives churn consideration.
