Notion comes with a generous free plan that lets you use unlimited blocks of any type. But what if you want to access some of the Pro features, such as larger file uploads, longer page history, and more guest collaborators?
In this article, I’ll show you how to use Notion credits to get the Notion paid plans for free.
👋Note: Notion has removed the free credit option, and you can no longer use it to get the paid plan for free. This makes this article no longer relevant. If you’re a startup, you can apply and get up to 6 months of Notion for free
How To Get the Notion Plus Plan for Free
Despite the fact that Notion Plus is a paid plan, I’ll show you how to get it for free.
You do not need to use any hacks to get it for free. What I’m about to show you has been a feature provided by Notion and works for everyone.
You can earn credits by completing simple tasks and use those credits to get a free Notion Plus plan for up to 5 months. Isn’t that cool?
What are Notion Credits?
Notion Credits are credits that you can use to purchase any of the Notion paid plans. There are various ways you can earn the credits. You can then use those credits to purchase the Plus as well as the Team plan. You can also use them to buy a yearly plan and pay the difference.
Ways To Earn Free Notion Credits and Get Notion for Free
There are 6 ways to earn free credits, and the amount of credit you earn depends on the task.
To earn free Notion credits, log in to your account and navigate to Settings & Members in the sidebar.
On the new page, click the Earn Credits option and you’ll be presented with a list of tasks to complete in order to earn credits.
The tasks are simple, and you can earn up to $26 in credits or 5 months of Plus plan for free.
I have already completed some of the tasks and hence you see them in blue.
Once you have collected all the credits, you can click on Upgrade for free at the top.
This will take you to the Notion pricing page where click on the Upgrade button under the Personal Pro plan.
Complete the checkout using Notion credits to get the paid plan for free. To avoid paying anything, make sure the billing interval is set to monthly.
Is Notion Free for Students?
Yes, Notion offers the Plus Plan for free to students and educators. You just need to sign up with your school email address and you’ll immediately get access to the Pro features.
You can find more information about it on the Notion for Education page.

Unfortunately, I think they remove the credit option from the settings

I have been using Notion since November last year. When I found the credits section, I completed all the tasks and purchased the then-called personal pro plan.
I was just telling a friend about the same; she instantly asked me to set it up for her, only to be disappointed and find the section not listed anymore.
Has the process changed, or have they just removed it?

Hello Manas.
It appears that they have removed the free credit section from the app. I contacted the Notion team about this, but have yet to hear back. I’ll update this comment if I receive a response.
