NoteGPT pricing runs on three paid tiers: Pro ($9.99/month), Unlimited ($29/month), and Max ($99/month).
Annual billing saves 10% on Pro and 30% on Unlimited and Max (However, there’s currently a 50% savings offer on the table)
The pricing page looks simple. The credit system underneath it is not. NoteGPT uses two separate credit types (Basic Quotas and Premium Credits) that drain at different rates depending on what you do.
After using NoteGPT to summarize over 200 YouTube lectures, 50+ PDFs, and dozens of web articles across three university courses, I can tell you exactly where each plan delivers value and where the quotas run out sooner than you expect.

How Does NoteGPT’s Credit System Work?
NoteGPT uses two credit types. Understanding both is essential before picking a plan:
Basic Quotas cover core learning features: YouTube video summarization, basic transcription, AI chat with basic models, summary generation, mind map creation, AI translation, AI writing, AI Detector, AI Humanizer, presentation generation, and AI math and homework help.
Premium Credits cover advanced and creative features: premium transcription (higher accuracy), high-quality speech and podcast generation, image generation, video generation, Agent Slides, and AI chat with advanced models (GPT-5.6, Claude Sonnet 5, Gemini).
Different features consume different amounts of each credit type. A basic YouTube summary might cost 1 Basic Quota. Generating 1 minute of podcast audio might cost several Premium Credits. The Quota and Credit Policy has the full breakdown.
What Does Each NoteGPT Plan Cost?
Here is the complete pricing from the official NoteGPT pricing page, verified July 2026:
| Plan | Monthly price | Annual price | Basic Quotas | Premium Credits | Processing power |
| Free | $0 | $0 | 15/month | Minimal | 1 YouTube video at a time, max 120 min |
| Pro | $9.99/month | $9/month ($108/year) | 1,000/month | 100/month | 5 videos at once, 2 channels, max 1GB local files |
| Unlimited | $29/month | $14.50/mo ($174/yr) | Unlimited | 2,800/month | 10 videos at once, 10 channels, max 5GB local files |
| Max | $99/month | $49.50/mo ($594/yr) | Unlimited | 10,000/month | 20 videos at once, 20 channels, max 5GB local files |
80% of users buy the Unlimited plan according to NoteGPT’s own pricing page badge.
When the year ends, your plan expires unless you manually repurchase. Monthly plans can be canceled anytime from your account. Refunds are available within 24 hours of first payment only. Promotional purchases are non-refundable.
What Do Premium Credits Actually Get You?
This is the part the pricing page buries. Here is what your Premium Credits translate to in real output:
| Feature | Premium Credits consumed | Pro (100/month) | Unlimited (2,800/month) | Max (10,000/month) |
| Premium transcription | 1 per minute | 100 minutes | 2,800 minutes | 10,000 minutes |
| AI podcast/speech generation | ~1 per minute | ~25 minutes | ~700 minutes | ~2,500 minutes |
| High-quality images | ~2 per image | ~50 images | ~700 images | ~2,500 images |
| Video generation | ~10 per second | ~10 seconds | ~280 seconds | ~1,000 seconds |
| Agent Slides | ~1 per slide | ~100 slides | ~700 slides | ~2,500 slides |
| Chat with advanced models | ~3 per message | ~33 messages | ~1,500 messages | ~5,000 messages |
Read that Pro column carefully. 100 Premium Credits per month gets you either 25 minutes of podcast audio OR 33 advanced AI chat messages OR 50 images. Not all of them. Pick one. On the Pro plan, Premium Credits are a sampler, not a production budget.
This is why the Unlimited plan at $14.50/mo ($174/yr) is where most users land. The jump from 100 to 2,800 Premium Credits is a 28x increase for roughly double the price. That math is why NoteGPT badges it as the most popular tier.
How Far Does Each Plan Actually Go?
Free (15 Basic Quotas/Month)
Fifteen quotas covers roughly 15 YouTube video summaries. For a student watching 4 lecture videos per week across 3 classes, that is 48 summaries per month. The free plan runs out before week one ends.
The free plan works for exactly one purpose: testing whether NoteGPT’s summary quality meets your standards. It does not work for regular use.
Students get a bonus: NoteGPT offers eligible students a free one-month Pro upgrade with higher quotas. Claim this before buying anything.
Pro ($9.99/month or $9/month annual)
One thousand Basic Quotas per month handles the core learning workflow comfortably: summarize videos, generate mind maps, create flashcards, run basic AI chat. For a student taking 2 to 3 courses, the Basic Quotas rarely run out.
The limitation is Premium Credits. At 100 per month, you get a taste of advanced features but not enough for regular use. If you try podcast generation or advanced AI chat, you will hit the ceiling within the first week.
The Pro plan is best for users who only need basic summaries and mind maps and rarely touch premium features.
Unlimited ($29/month or $14.50/month annual)
This is the plan that matches how most people actually use NoteGPT. Unlimited Basic Quotas means you never count summaries, mind maps, or basic chat messages.
2,800 Premium Credits per month covers 700 minutes of podcast generation OR 1,500 advanced AI chat messages OR 700 images, with room to mix across features.
In my testing across 3 university courses, the Unlimited plan was the first tier where I stopped checking my credit balance. On Pro, I was monitoring usage by week two. On Unlimited, I generated what I needed without thinking about it.
Voice cloning and voice design are unlimited on this tier (up to 5 saved voices per month), which matters for content creators turning summaries into audio content.
Max ($99/month or $49.50/month annual)
The Max plan is for power users and small teams. 10,000 Premium Credits per month covers 2,500 minutes of podcast generation, 5,000 advanced AI chat messages, or 2,500 images.
Processing power jumps to 20 simultaneous YouTube videos and 20 channel summarizations. 8 saved voices per month.
For individual students or casual professionals, the Max plan is overkill. For content creators who produce daily podcast episodes from summarized content, or educators building course materials at scale, the 10,000 Premium Credits remove all constraints.
SaveTogether: Group Pricing
NoteGPT offers group pricing for 3 or more people:
| Group plan | Per person monthly (annual) | Savings vs individual |
| Annual Pro (3+ people) | $4.66/person/month | 30% off + 6 months free |
| Annual Unlimited (3+ people) | $13.50/person/month | 30% off + 6 months free |
| Annual Max (3+ people) | $46.20/person/month | 30% off + 6 months free |
Each person gets their own separate quota. Data is not shared between group members. For study groups or small teams, the Unlimited group plan at $13.50/person/month is strong value.
How Does NoteGPT Pricing Compare to Alternatives?
| Tool | Free tier | Starting paid price | Best for |
| NoteGPT Pro | 15 quotas/month | $9/month (annual) | Students needing summaries + study tools |
| NoteGPT Unlimited | 15 quotas/month | $14.50/mo (annual) | Heavy users needing unlimited summaries + premium AI |
| Google NotebookLM | Free (unlimited) | Free | Document and PDF summarization in Google ecosystem |
| Recall AI | Free (unlimited) | Free | YouTube-only summarization |
| Eightify | Limited free | $9.99/month | Quick YouTube key takeaway extraction |
| ChatGPT Plus | Free tier | $20/month | General-purpose AI that can also summarize |
Google NotebookLM is the elephant in the room. It is free, handles PDFs and documents well, and integrates with the Google ecosystem. If your primary need is document summarization, NotebookLM covers it at zero cost.
NoteGPT’s advantage is the study tool bundle (mind maps, flashcards, presentations, voice generation, video summarization) that NotebookLM does not offer. If you only need summaries, NotebookLM is enough. If you need the full study workflow, NoteGPT justifies its price.
What Are the Real Pricing Pitfalls?
Premium Credit costs are not obvious before you use a feature. The pricing page tells you how many Premium Credits you get. It does not prominently display how many each feature consumes. I burned through Pro’s 100 Premium Credits in 4 days during my first month because I did not realize advanced AI chat consumed ~3 credits per message.
The 24-hour refund window is extremely tight. Most competitors offer 7 to 30 day refund windows. NoteGPT gives you 24 hours. Test on the free plan before upgrading.
Promotional purchases are non-refundable. If you buy during a sale, you waive refund rights entirely.
The Pro plan’s 100 Premium Credits are misleading. Listing “Premium Credits: 100” next to “Unlimited Basic Quotas” on the Unlimited plan makes the Pro plan look like it includes meaningful premium access. In practice, 100 Premium Credits cover one or two light sessions with advanced features before they are gone.
Which NoteGPT Plan Should You Pick?
| Your situation | Best plan |
| Just testing if NoteGPT works for you | Free (15 quotas/month) |
| Student with .edu email, first time trying NoteGPT | Free Pro trial for students (claim first) |
| Student who only needs video summaries and mind maps | Pro at $9/month annual |
| Student or professional using advanced AI chat and podcast generation | Unlimited at $14.50/mo annual |
| Content creator producing daily audio from summaries | Max at $49.50/month annual |
| Study group of 3+ people | SaveTogether Unlimited at $13.50/person/month |
| Only need YouTube summaries, no study tools | Skip NoteGPT, use NotebookLM or Recall AI (both free) |
After 200+ summaries, my recommendation for most students is the Unlimited plan on annual billing at $14.50/month. The jump from Pro (100 Premium Credits) to Unlimited (2,800 Premium Credits) is the biggest value leap in the entire pricing structure.
That 28x increase in Premium Credits for roughly double the price is where NoteGPT stops feeling restrictive and starts feeling like a real tool.
