5. Reviews & Sources External reviews

Source	Rating	What it says
G2/Capterra aggregate	4.6–4.7/5 (16k+ rev) — workspace fans rate AI high; standalone-chat users rate it mid (context-bound by design)
ToolRadar	“solid for Notion-native workflows, cannot replace ChatGPT/Claude for general reasoning/coding; contextual awareness is the moat”
BestAI/Saner	“Agent + Meeting Notes shine when pages are clean; on sprawling workspaces answers drift, DB natural-language filters unreliable, mobile AI clunky”
CostBench/Notis	“seat is line 1, allowance line 2, credits line 3 — Plus+AI math now pushes to Business; Custom Agent $0.03–0.18/run, 90–330 runs per $10/1k credits”
