Who it is for
Notion suits a team that wants to assemble its own reference space from pages rather than adopt a fixed knowledge-base structure. Decide which information belongs in the wiki, who owns each section and how updates will be reviewed before inviting the full team.
The same workspace can also hold documents and project information, while databases organize collections of pages. That flexibility is useful when teams want related reference and work material together, but the page structure and permissions still need deliberate upkeep.
The work it supports
Core capabilities
A wiki starts from a standalone page for which the editor has Full access; an existing database cannot simply be converted into a wiki. Its default Home, All pages and Pages I own views give readers a starting place to browse material and owners a way to find their pages.
Each wiki page has an owner by default when created, and ownership can be reassigned. A team can use that responsibility to decide who checks policies, procedures and other changing guidance, rather than leaving older pages without a maintainer.
Wiki pages can carry a verification signal. When verification expires, the page owner is notified to review it again. Treat the badge as a maintenance cue: the team still needs a real review process for accuracy and dates.
Pages are assembled from blocks that can contain text, tables, images and other content. Databases group multiple pages, with each item opening as its own page, so a team can build a reference index or track related material without forcing every detail into one long page.
Page sharing lets an owner invite specific collaborators, assign permission levels and copy a link. The Publish tab can put a page on the web; separate General access settings can make a link accessible to anyone who has it. Check both before adding internal or customer information.
External guests can view, comment on or edit the particular pages they are invited to. For a partner or contractor, start with one fictional or low-sensitivity page and inspect the granted access before using the wiki for real shared work.

Pricing and getting started
The viewed official USD pricing cards show Free at $0, Plus at $10 and Business at $20 per member per month, with custom Enterprise pricing. Billing-period selection, country, taxes and a sales agreement can change the actual quote, so use the current checkout or proposal for budgeting.
Paid workspace members are billable seats, while guests invited to particular pages are free under the viewed policy. Guest limits and organization-domain rules matter: a person with a company email domain can become a paid member instead. Review the actual role and seat count before a large invitation.
A solo Free workspace can create unlimited blocks, but a Free workspace with multiple members has a 1,000-block creation limit. Deleting old blocks does not restore that allowance; existing content remains editable at the cap. The viewed table also lists a 5 MB file limit, seven-day page history and ten external guests on Free.
The official help marks verification of pages outside a wiki as a Business or Enterprise feature. Keep that distinction separate from wiki page verification when planning a review workflow, and check the current plan’s exact rights.
Free and Plus currently show trial Notion AI access. Business and Enterprise describe monthly AI credits for members, with optional further use through a separate admin-managed credit balance. Confirm the feature, credit use and charge path before making AI central to the wiki rollout.
Look a little closer
Before you choose
Build one small wiki with sample pages and named owners. Test what happens when guidance needs a new owner or its verification expires, then write a simple review cadence for the real team.
Before inviting everyone, compare a member, an invited guest, a web-link visitor and a published page using fictional content. The available access paths serve different audiences and can expose a page more broadly than intended.
Estimate the workspace from the people who will be paid members, the external collaborators and the expected amount of content. Recheck Free limits and AI credits against the current plan rather than assuming the first small pilot will scale unchanged.
