It's built on top of Notion, so you pay for Notion and you pay for Potion as well. :-)

Actually it's a bit funny because Potion is 2.5x more expensive than the Personal plan on Notion, even though the utility of Potion is provably smaller.

Isn't it because of scaling? The bigger a service becomes with a large audience, the cheaper they can sell things for.
I don't think scaling is much of a factor when it comes to cloud cost. Most clouds (AWS, GCP etc) charge for usage which scales linearly. The bigger you are the more you pay. Additionally there are many free resources for small startups. For example Potion is hosting their site on Vercel which costs $20/mo for <1TB/mo traffic.
