Google’s low-cost AI Plus subscription has now been rolled out in all markets where the company’s AI plans are available – including the US.
AI Plus was first introduced in select regions around the world, where it was sold alongside Google’s more advanced AI Pro and AI Ultra plans. It is now being made available in an additional 35 countries.
The tech giant is pitching AI Plus as a product that provides access to powerful AI models “at an accessible price” blog post.
In the US, this price will be $7.99 per month, although for a limited time new customers will get 50% off the first two months.
AI Plus adds another licensing tier for users between the free, basic Google account and the $19.99 per month AI Pro account. The AI Ultra plan costs $250 per month.
For their $7.99 monthly outlay, Plus subscribers – and up to five family members – will get more access than the free plan gemini 3 pro and this Nana Banana Pro Gemini app includes image generation tools, as well as video creation capabilities VO 3.1 Fast.
Plus plan customers will also get greater access to Google’s AI film making tool Flow and research and writing assistance through NotebookLM, including audio overviews.
Plus also offers 200 monthly AI credits on image-to-video creation tools Flow and Whisk. In comparison, the free plan offers 100, while Pro bumps it up to 1,000.
Storage also varies between plans. Plus subscribers get 200GB, as opposed to the 15GB available with the free tier and the 2TB packaged with Pro.
However, those who are tempted by the possibility of upgrading from the free tier to Plus, but want a little more, have another option, as it has been confirmed that existing Google One Premium 2TB customers will get access to all the benefits of AI Plus in the “next few days”. It offers everything the $9.99 Subscription Plus offers plus significantly more storage for just $2 more per month.
Google’s decision to market AI Plus worldwide follows OpenAI recent announcement This will make ChatGate’s most affordable subscription tier, Go, available globally, including in the US, where it costs $8 per month.
Both moves are seen as early defenses in the battle to convince users that it’s worth paying for AI services — and in the hope that users will increase their subscriptions over time as they become more familiar with the benefits of the technology.
