Gemini (Google AI) pricing

Plans, monthly prices, free-tier features and usage rules checked Nov 2, 2026 on gemini.google/subscriptions (US). Annual price, storage options and family sharing checked Oct 29, 2026 on Google One’s AI plans page. USD, US pricing. No affiliate links on this page (how we work).

What you’ll actually pay

Gemini has four consumer tiers as of Nov 2, 2026. Free costs $0. Google AI Plus is $4.99/mo, Google AI Pro is $19.99/mo, and Google AI Ultra starts at $99.99/mo, with a $199.99/mo option for higher limits. Pro is the only tier with a published annual price ($199.99 a year). Google One says Ultra is billed monthly only. Plus has no annual price on the pages we checked.

Usage is where it gets vague. Google rates each plan against another: Plus gets 2x Free, Pro gets 4x Free, and Ultra gets 5x or 20x Pro. It doesn’t publish the base numbers. Limits refresh every 5 hours until you hit a weekly cap, and you can buy AI credits to keep going. It’s very Zoolander: Blue Steel, Le Tigre, Magnum, all multiples of a number nobody will tell you.

Gemini plans compared

Plan	Monthly	Yearly	Storage	Limits
Free	$0	$0	15 GB	Baseline
AI Plus	$4.99	Not published	400 GB	2x Free
AI Pro	$19.99	$199.99	5 TB	4x Free
AI Ultra	$99.99	Monthly only	20 TB	5x Pro
Ultra 20x	$199.99	Monthly only	30 TB	20x Pro

Monthly prices, storage for Free/Plus/Pro, and the usage multipliers come from gemini.google (verified Nov 2, 2026). Gemini.google lists Ultra storage as “starting at 20 TB”. The 30 TB figure for the $199.99 option, the $199.99 Pro annual price and “billed monthly only” for Ultra come from Google One (verified Oct 29, 2026). Google One also shows Plus with a 400 GB or 2 TB storage choice.

What each paid tier adds, per gemini.google (Nov 2, 2026):

• Plus: the Flash model, video generation, 200 Google Flow credits a month, and Gemini in Gmail, Vids and other Google apps. Available in more than 160 countries and territories.
• Pro: Gemini 4 Argon, the Pro and Flash models, 1,000 Flow credits, entry rate limits in Google Antigravity, Gemini in Chrome auto browse, Google Home Premium (Standard), and YouTube Premium Lite.
• Ultra: the highest access to every model, 10,000 or 25,000 Flow credits, higher (5x) or highest (20x) Antigravity limits, Project Genie, Home Premium (Advanced), and YouTube Premium individual.

For whether the Ultra jump makes sense, see Google AI Pro vs Ultra. Short version: Ultra is for people who max out Pro limits or want Genie and the top Flow tier.

What the free tier includes

Per gemini.google (verified Nov 2, 2026), Free comes with a Google Account and includes:

• Gemini app access to Google’s Flash-Lite model
• Image generation and editing
• Deep Research, Gemini Live, Canvas and Gems
• Google Flow, with limited access to Nano Banana Pro
• Gemini Notebook (research and writing assistant)
• 15 GB of storage across Gmail, Drive and Photos

Free usage caps aren’t published as numbers. Google says the app uses compute-based limits that “factor in the complexity of your prompt, the features you use, and the length of your chat” (verified Nov 2, 2026). The developer side has its own free tiers. See Gemini API pricing for the API and Gemini CLI free tier limits for the terminal tool.

Monthly vs yearly

Only Google AI Pro has a published yearly price. Here’s the arithmetic on Google’s listed prices:

• Pro monthly: $19.99 × 12 = $239.88 a year
• Pro annual: $199.99 a year
• Difference: $39.89, about 16.6% off monthly

Ultra can’t be prepaid, since Google One says Ultra plans are billed monthly only. A year at $99.99 comes to $1,199.88, and the $199.99 option comes to $2,399.88. Plus has no published annual price, so a year at $4.99 runs $59.88 monthly. Gemini.google’s terms say “Cancel anytime. No refunds for partial billing periods, except as required by applicable law” (verified Nov 2, 2026). So the annual plan only saves money if you’re sure you’ll keep it.

Student and family plans

Students (US). Eligible US college students 18+ can get Google AI Pro free for one year. You must redeem by Dec 31, 2026, and a valid payment method is required. After the year it renews at $19.99/mo (gemini.google/students, verified Oct 29, 2026). Google One Help calls it “the 12-month trial”, so set a reminder before it converts. Outside the US, Google lists a “Google AI Pro with YouTube Premium Student bundle” in many countries. Its price isn’t shown on that page (Google One Help, verified Oct 29, 2026).

Family. Google One lists family sharing for Google AI Pro with up to 5 others (verified Oct 29, 2026). Google AI plans are 18+ only (gemini.google, Nov 2, 2026).

Google’s naming across pages is very Frasier (“tossed salads and scrambled eggs”). Gemini.google calls Pro’s Antigravity access “entry rate limits”, while Google One labels the same plan “Expanded”. Same plan, two adjectives. When the pages disagree, we quote both.

Which plan for coding?

• Free or Plus if you use Gemini to chat about code. Plus has no Antigravity line on gemini.google, and Antigravity’s own free tier lists “Basic weekly rate limits” (gemini.google, Nov 2, 2026). See Antigravity pricing.
• Pro for Antigravity at entry limits. Google AI Pro and Ultra no longer cover Gemini CLI as of June 18, 2026 (codeassist.google, verified Oct 29, 2026), so the CLI needs an API key (Gemini API pricing).
• Ultra only if Pro’s Antigravity limits keep running out. Also check Google AI Pro vs ChatGPT Plus before you pay $99.99.
