    Based on my personal experience, Notion seems like a dangerous tool that is blinded by money. If you make a mistake in inviting members, you will be automatically charged for an additional year, and there seems to be no way to prevent it. There are many good tools out there, so if you choose to use Notion, use it for personal use only and be extremely cautious with collaboration. I recommended it for students' homework submissions, and ended up being automatically charged over $5,000. When I raised the issue, instead of a refund, I was given useless credits worth $5,000, and they said they couldn't provide a refund after 3 days. Hundreds of dollars can disappear in an instant. Notion is an extremely risky and insane company. Unless your company is paying for it, I highly recommend avoiding it, and if you investigate, you'll see that it incurs tremendous costs. $5,000 is unusable even for a personal plus account and I think the company is just terrible. You'd be better off using MS Loop or other tools.
    Never use Notion for anything other than a personal free account. And even the personal free account is garbage. You have to pay a lot of money just to do anything, and it's all automatic.
    It's a tool from a company that's really suspect at its core
