Google’s new AI Plus subscription delivers Gemini 3 Pro, Nano Banana Pro, Flow AI‑filmmaking, and Notebook LM tools for $7.99 per month, positioned between the free tier and the $20 AI Pro plan. Available in 35 markets, the plan adds 200 GB cloud storage and family sharing for up to five members, targeting users who need more power without the Pro price.
What’s Included in Google AI Plus?
The AI Plus tier bundles a curated set of generative‑AI services:
- Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro within the Gemini app
- Flow AI‑filmmaking suite for video creation
- Notebook LM research and writing assistance
- 200 GB of Google Cloud storage
- Family sharing for up to five members
Pricing and Market Availability
AI Plus is priced at $7.99 per month in the United States and is offered in all regions where Google’s AI services operate, covering 35 countries and territories. In emerging markets, the monthly fee is adjusted to local pricing standards, keeping the plan affordable for a broad audience.
How AI Plus Fits Between Free and Pro Tiers
Google structures its AI subscriptions into three levels:
- Free tier – basic access to Gemini and limited AI tools
- AI Plus – expanded toolset and storage for $7.99/month
- AI Pro – full‑feature access and priority support for $20/month
This middle tier bridges the gap for users who need more capability than the free version but do not require the full Pro package.
Family Sharing and Cloud Storage Benefits
Subscribers can extend AI Plus benefits to up to five family members, allowing each user to enjoy the same AI tools and shared 200 GB of cloud storage. This feature encourages household adoption and maximizes the value of a single subscription.
Competitive Landscape
AI Plus enters a market where other providers offer similar mid‑tier plans, such as a comparable $8/month offering from a leading AI competitor. By delivering a robust toolset at a slightly lower price point, Google aims to attract casual users ready to upgrade from free services.
Promotion and Trial Offer
New AI Plus subscribers receive a 50 % discount for the first two months, reducing the initial cost to $3.99 per month. This limited‑time promotion lowers the barrier to entry and encourages trial among free‑tier users.
Impact on Google’s AI Strategy
Expanding AI Plus globally simplifies Google’s pricing architecture and strengthens its position in the generative‑AI subscription market. By making advanced models like Gemini 3 Pro accessible at a lower price, Google can capture a larger consumer base and create a pipeline for future enterprise conversions.
