TL;DR
What did u/ExtraRepeat8261 use ChatGPT for?
Instead of paying for Notion's built-in AI, a ChatGPT Pro subscriber connects ChatGPT to Notion and has it read and write their pages. A commenter canceled their Notion Business plan for the same setup. They estimate they get 1,000 to 2,000 dollars' worth of AI usage at sticker token prices from their ChatGPT plan. A commenter who canceled their Notion Business plan for this said it's useful, though not as nice as working natively inside Notion.
What they did
They connected ChatGPT to their Notion workspace through Notion's MCP connector and let ChatGPT do the AI work on their pages, rather than buying Notion's AI plan. They found the models good at working in Notion and worried Notion's own AI was wasting tokens navigating the workspace.
How it went
They estimate they get 1,000 to 2,000 dollars' worth of AI usage at sticker token prices from their ChatGPT plan. A commenter who canceled their Notion Business plan for this said it's useful, though not as nice as working natively inside Notion.
Worth knowing
- The dollar figure is their own estimate from token volume, not money saved. A commenter worried Notion could limit the connector if many people drop its AI plan. Another said the Plus plan covers a fair amount, and Pro mainly pays off for frequent multi-step workflows.
- Price check: ChatGPT: free plan; Go: US$8/month (checked Nov 1, 2026); Notion: free plan; Plus: US$12/month, or US$10/month on a yearly plan (US$120/year) (checked Oct 26, 2026).
