Lazy has no free plan: after the 14-day trial you must pay, and billing is annual only, at $72 per year for Lazy Capture or $150 per year for Lazy AI. The AI chat over your captures is locked to the higher tier, which costs double the base tier, and its privacy policy and API docs returned 404 errors when we checked, so data retention and API availability could not be verified. Prices checked on 2026-10-01.
Notion AI is built into Notion for writing, searching the workspace, research and meeting notes. Notion's Plus plan is $12 per member per month ($10 when billed yearly), and AI is only a limited trial there, though Notion has a free plan. Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) is Google's research partner that answers questions and creates summaries, audio and slides grounded in your own sources. It has a free tier, and its starting price is not stated in our verified data.
