Approximate, indicative list prices (business plan, billed annually); check the current price on Notion's official website. This figure is just the VPS cost: it doesn't include extra storage, backups, bandwidth beyond what's included, the domain/SSL, migrating your data, or the time you (or someone on your team) spend on maintenance — the real cost of self-hosting is almost always higher than this number.
