Notion BYOK: bring your own API key to Notion
Stop paying $10 per month per seat for a fixed model. Use your personal OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, or OpenRouter key, or a local Ollama endpoint, directly against your Notion workspace.
What BYOK costs compared to Notion AI
Notion AI charges $10 per user per month regardless of how much you use it. With your own API key, you pay the provider directly at raw token prices.
As a rough example, a few hundred prompts in a month often costs between $0.30 and $1.50 with a personal OpenAI or OpenRouter key, depending on the model and how much page content you send. Heavy users can still choose cheaper models, and local models through Ollama cost nothing per token.
Either way, the price tracks your actual usage, not a flat seat fee.
Supported providers
- OpenAI, with any GPT model and your own key.
- OpenRouter, for access to Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Llama, and hundreds more with one key.
- Groq, for very fast inference on open models.
- DeepSeek, Together AI, Mistral, and any other OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
