What's the difference between Standard, Select, and Notion credits?
What's the difference between Standard, Select, and Notion credits?
Standard and Select credits come with workspaces on a Business or Enterprise plan.
Standard credits cover work where Notion picks the model.
Select credits cover work where you pick a model yourself, or use a Custom Agent you set up.
Notion credits are a separate, workspace-managed balance your admin can turn on so you can keep going once your Standard or Select credits run out.
Standard and Select credits are separate per-member balances. These balances can't be pooled across the workspace, transferred between members, or exchanged for other credit types. They’re not "Notion Credits" as defined in the Notion AI and Notion Credit Terms and don’t count toward your Notion Credit Limit. The workspace-managed Notion credits described above are "Notion Credits" under those terms.

Standard and Select credits each reset monthly, at the start of your billing cycle, and they don't roll over.

How do Custom Agents use credits?
How do Custom Agents use credits?
A Custom Agent you set up uses your Select credits, even when you share it with your team. Once your Select credits run out, it uses any extra credits your admin has given you. After that, it switches to your workspace's Notion credits automatically (if your admin allows it). An admin can fund the agent with Notion credits at any time. You can also ask your admin to do this.
