Google’s new AI Plus subscription delivers Gemini 3 Pro generative AI, a 200 GB cloud storage boost, and expanded video‑generation credits for $7.99 a month. Available in 35 countries, the plan bridges the gap between the free tier and higher‑priced AI Pro and AI Ultra options, offering family‑sharing and a limited‑time 50 % discount for the first two months.
Key Features of Google AI Plus
Gemini 3 Pro Access
Subscribers gain direct access to the Gemini 3 Pro model within the Gemini app, providing faster and more accurate generative AI responses for search, email drafting, and creative tasks.
Enhanced Cloud Storage
The plan includes 200 GB of Google One storage, a significant upgrade from the free tier’s 15 GB, usable for emails, photos, and Drive files.
Family Sharing Benefits
AI Plus benefits can be shared with up to five family members, mirroring Google One’s family‑sharing model and extending AI tools and storage across the household.
AI Plus Pricing and Subscription Tiers
Google structures its AI subscriptions into three paid levels, each adding more AI capacity, storage, and advanced tools.
Tier Comparison
- AI Plus – $7.99/month, Gemini 3 Pro access, 200 GB storage, 200 video‑generation credits.
- AI Pro – $19.99/month, higher AI credit limits, 2 TB storage, broader Flow and Whisk usage, Gemini 3 Pro integration across Google Workspace.
- AI Ultra – $250/month, enterprise‑grade limits, extensive feature set, priority compute resources.
Global Availability
The AI Plus plan launched in the United States and 34 additional markets, bringing the service to a total of 35 countries. Early rollouts included Indonesia, followed by rapid expansion to regions across North America, Europe, Asia‑Pacific, and Latin America.
Impact on Users and the Market
For individual users and small teams, the combination of advanced generative AI and expanded storage reduces the need for separate image‑generation or video‑editing subscriptions. The family‑sharing option encourages broader adoption within households, while the competitive pricing targets price‑sensitive consumers who might otherwise choose rival AI services.
How to Subscribe
Prospective subscribers can enroll through the Google One app or the dedicated AI Plus landing page. The promotional 50 % discount is applied automatically for the first two billing cycles, after which the standard $7.99 monthly rate continues.
