Notion AI pricing: the real per-seat math for an organization-wide rollout

Notion AI comes with the Business plan at $20 per member per month and with Enterprise at custom pricing, per Notion's pricing page; the standalone $10 add-on was retired in May 2025, and Free and Plus get a limited AI trial.

Harvey AI pricing in 2026: every reported number, and how to build the business case without a rate card

Harvey AI pricing is not published: every deal is sales-negotiated. Reported figures across procurement research converge on roughly $1,200 per lawyer per month at the base, 20-to-25-seat minimums, and 12-month terms, putting reported entry floors near $290,000 to $360,000 a year. Premium bundles run higher. No free tier, no monthly plan, no self-serve. Every figure on this page is labeled for what it is: disclosed by Harvey, reported by named research and journalists, or computed from those reports.

AI Is Forcing Finance to Redefine KPIs

AI Budgeting for Finance: Last Year vs. Now In this video, Emily Allen, Director, Finance & Accounting at CloudZero, explains how AI planning changed in a single year. Instead of starting from a vendor commit or the current run rate, she’s treating AI spend as its own category and analyzing it bottom-up. That opens a new question for finance: “What does good look like?” With a year of data, finance teams can start benchmarking AI spend over time and check whether what they approved actually paid off.

The $600 AI Cap That Sent Employees Golfing

In this video, Brady Lenahan, VP of Sales at CloudZero, shares what he’s hearing from customers when the cap hits before the month ends: employees who’ve built their workflows around AI stop working productively and wait for next month. Some go golfing, some clean the garage. Either way, finance loses both the productivity and the visibility. There’s a better option than capping AI spend you can’t see.

How to Capitalize AI Spend Without the Gray Area

In this video, Emily Allen, Director, Finance & Accounting at CloudZero, explains why AI capitalization is still unclear for most finance teams, and how CloudZero gives them a repeatable approach. As AI writes more of the code, finance needs to know which AI spend went to qualifying development work and which should be expensed. CloudZero records which project each AI coding session served, what kind of work it was, and what it cost, so finance has the evidence behind every decision.

AI budget season: 87% are raising it, 61% can't justify it

87% of finance leaders are raising their AI budget for FY2027, 45% of them by more than 20%, even though 61% already spend more on AI than they can justify. Most can't see where it goes: 54% can't break AI spend below a rough category, so budgets default to the total and keep climbing. The teams that allocate spend, tying each AI dollar to the team, product, or outcome behind it, are the ones who can defend the number to a board.

Webinar recap: FY2027 AI budgets and how finance leaders plan

CloudZero's Emily Allen and Brady Lenahan talked through how finance capitalizes AI spend and sets limits on it after a year of companywide AI adoption. Picture your AI line item last fall. A few seats, one vendor, tucked inside the software budget. Now picture it today. That’s the year Emily Allen, director of finance and accounting at CloudZero, walked through in our 30-minute webinar FY2027 AI budgets: how finance leaders plan on October 29, 2026.

Shipped: Dimension descriptions, right where you pick them

Picking a dimension means choosing from a list of names. But names only tell users so much. “Product,” “Team,” and “Cost Center” mean different things in different orgs. If you’re building a report you have to guess which one fits the question you’re answering.

Shipped: Fit more of your cost data on one screen

Most cost questions get answered the same way. You read a chart and the table under it together. Maybe you spot a jump on the chart, and then you go looking in the table for the service, account, or team that caused it. When you can see more of that table while the chart is still in view, the whole review goes faster. You’re also a lot less likely to lose your place halfway through.

Can you see what your sales org did with $206,000 of AI last month?

Activity categorization classifies every AI request by the work it performs, such as meeting prep, code review or account research, then assigns that spend to the team, person, model and provider behind it. It turns a provider invoice that shows only totals by model and API key into a breakdown finance can allocate, charge back and budget from. CloudZero AI Signals does this as the spend happens.
