Cons
- Pricing is shown in MXN on their site and per-user costs can add up significantly for larger teams
- External collaborators on the Business plan require additional per-user fees
- Free Individual plan is very limited (10 GB storage, 250 MB upload limit, 1 file version)
- Advanced features like Box Shield, KeySafe, and Zones require Enterprise-tier plans or add-ons
Notion AI
Pros
- All-in-one workspace eliminates switching between separate docs, project management, and wiki tools
- AI agents can automate repetitive workflows and take actions directly within the workspace
- Enterprise Search connects to external apps like Slack, Google Drive, and GitHub for cross-tool answers
- Model-agnostic AI lets teams switch between different LLM providers without losing context
- Strong security posture with SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and zero data retention for Enterprise
Cons
- Full AI features (Agents, Enterprise Search, AI Meeting Notes) require Business plan at $20/seat/month — Free and Plus plans only get limited AI trial responses
- Broad feature set can be overwhelming; the platform tries to replace many specialized tools which means each individual feature may lack depth compared to dedicated alternatives
- HIPAA compliance and zero data retention are only available on Enterprise plans requiring sales contact
Our Verdict
Both Box and Notion AI are excellent choices with similar feature sets. Your decision should depend on your specific needs, pricing, and whether you need self-hosting capabilities.
