You share with more than 10 guests

You upload large files regularly
Free limits to 5MB per file. Plus allows unlimited file uploads.
The Caveat
Notion Free is generous for individuals but creates upgrade pressure for teams. The moment you have more than one person needing full access, the per-seat cost adds up. At 10 users, Plus costs $120/month ($1,440/year). Business at 10 users is $240/month ($2,880/year). The free tier works well as a personal knowledge management tool but becomes limiting quickly for team collaboration.
