How much does NotebookLM cost?
Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) is free with a Google account. The standard tier supports up to 50 sources per notebook, and since 2 September 2026 usage is measured by compute and refreshes every 5 hours. Higher limits come bundled with paid Google plans rather than being sold as a standalone NotebookLM subscription.
In more detail
There is no separate NotebookLM price tag. The standard service costs nothing beyond a Google account, the standard tier supports up to 50 sources per notebook, and since 2 September 2026 usage is limited by compute (refreshing every 5 hours up to a weekly limit) rather than by fixed daily counts. Raised limits arrive through Google AI plans (Google AI Plus, Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra) and qualifying Google Workspace plans, whose names, prices, and regional availability change often — check Google's current Gemini Notebook help page before buying anything on the strength of a third-party article. Costs you may still encounter: your time re-collecting sources, and any tool you use to get material into the notebook. Gemini Notebook Toolkit is free for up to 50 captures a month, with Pro at $5/month for unlimited captures.
