Is NotebookLM available in your country? Access and payment in 2026

NotebookLM is region-locked in part of the world — a VPN is needed where it is blocked. Payment: нет (бесплатно).

Where NotebookLM works

The service is not reachable from every country. Where it is blocked you will need a VPN for sign-up and for daily use — a free tier is usually enough. Providers change regional policy without notice, so treat this as a starting point rather than a guarantee.

How to pay for NotebookLM

What works: нет (бесплатно). Cards issued in sanctioned or unsupported markets are declined by most vendors, which is normal rather than a bug on your side. Plan: free.
