My Verdict

Notion AI is excellent value if you already use Notion — it seamlessly fits into your workflow without context switching. But if you primarily need powerful AI writing capabilities, ChatGPT or Claude is more cost-effective. Its core value is being 'inside your docs', not AI power itself.
