Google AI Plus vs Pro vs Ultra: prices, usage limits and what each plan includes

Google AI Plus, AI Pro and AI Ultra are the three paid ways to get more out of Gemini, and they bundle far more than chat limits: cloud storage, Flow credits for video, Chrome’s auto browse, Google Home Premium and more. Prices run from $4.99 to $199.99 a month. This guide compares the plans side by side using Google’s US subscription page as of November 2026.

What the free plan includes

The free Gemini plan is $0 with a Google Account. Google lists access to the Flash-Lite model, image generation and editing, Deep Research, Gemini Live, Canvas, Gems, limited access to Flow, Gemini Notebook and 15 GB of storage. Gems are being replaced by skills: Google’s help center lists skills on the free plan and says Gems move to skills for personal accounts starting in November 2026.

Google AI Plus: $4.99 a month

The entry plan gives you 2x higher usage limits than Free, plus access to more features such as video generation. It adds:

• More models: the plan card mentions only the Flash model, but Google’s help center lists Flash-Lite, Flash and Pro in chats.
• 200 Flow credits for Google’s AI creative studio, with access to Gemini Omni Flash and custom tool creation.
• More access to Nano Banana in Search.
• More Audio Overviews and notebooks in Gemini Notebook.
• Gemini in Gmail, Vids and more.
• 400 GB of storage across Gmail, Drive and Photos.

Google AI Pro: $19.99 a month

Pro is the mainstream plan. It gives 4x the free usage limits and adds:

• Gemini 4 Argon, alongside the Flash-Lite, Flash and Pro models, plus tasks, which use Flash or Argon.
• 1,000 Flow credits. The plan card no longer names a video model, but Google’s FAQ on the same page still mentions a limited trial of Veo 3.1 Lite.
• Google Search: higher access to Gemini 4 Argon, Nano Banana and agentic capabilities.
• Coding: entry rate limits for the agent model in Google Antigravity, Google’s agentic development platform.
• Gemini in Gmail, Docs, Vids and more.
• Chrome: access to auto browse, which completes tasks for you. See our guide to the best AI browsers.
• Google Home Premium Standard, with 30 days of event history and Gemini features. Our guide to Google Home Premium explains it.
• YouTube Premium Lite, which won’t activate if you already have an equivalent YouTube Premium subscription.
• 5 TB of storage.

Google AI Ultra: from $99.99 a month

Ultra comes in two levels: $99.99 a month for 5x Pro’s usage limits and $199.99 a month for 20x. It includes everything in Pro and adds:

• Up to 20x higher Gemini limits than Pro, plus first access to advanced features such as Tasks in Gemini (in select countries), according to the plan card. Tasks, which Google first called Gemini Spark, started as an Ultra perk, but Google’s help page now says they need AI Pro or Ultra; see What is Gemini Spark?. Deep Think, the Ultra reasoning mode Google used to list here, is being replaced by Gemini 4 Argon, according to Google’s help center. Since October 13, 2026, Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers can also use Gemini 4 Argon in the Gemini app; see Gemini 4 Argon.
• 10,000 or 25,000 Flow credits. Google’s FAQ on the plan page also mentions video generation with Veo 3.1.
• The highest access to Gemini 4 Argon in Google Search, Nano Banana and agentic capabilities, and higher limits for the Antigravity agent model (Ultra 5x has higher limits and Ultra 20x the highest).
• Google Home Premium Advanced, with 24/7 video history and event descriptions.
• The highest access to Chrome auto browse.
• Project Genie, for creating interactive worlds in real time with the Genie 3 world model, available only with Ultra.
• A YouTube Premium individual plan.
• Cloud storage starting at 20 TB.

How the usage limits work

Google says usage limits in the Gemini app are compute-based. They factor in the complexity of your prompt, the features you use and the length of your chat. Your limit refreshes every five hours until you reach a weekly limit, and you can extend it by buying AI credits. Google adds that rate limits may apply. The plan page doesn’t publish exact message counts, so the multiples (2x, 4x, 5x and 20x) are the best comparison.

Screenshot: the fine print at the bottom of Google’s US subscriptions page at gemini.google, covering cancellation, availability and how Gemini app usage limits work. Captured by Universal Digital Assistant on November 2, 2026.

Fine print

• Age: Google says its AI plans are only available for ages 18 and over.
• Availability: Google’s plan cards say AI Plus is available in more than 160 countries and territories and AI Pro and AI Ultra in more than 150, although a footnote on the same page still says more than 140. Some features, such as Tasks in Gemini and Gemini 4 Argon in AI Mode in Search, are limited to select countries.
• Cancelling: you can cancel anytime, with no refunds for partial billing periods except as required by law.
• Prices change, so check Google’s page before you subscribe.

Which Google AI plan should you choose?

• You mainly want more Gemini and storage on a budget: AI Plus.
• You want the bundle: AI Pro. It includes Chrome auto browse, Google Home Premium Standard, Antigravity access and 5 TB of storage, so it is the natural starting point for most people.
• You generate lots of video, code all day or need the most Gemini 4 Argon: AI Ultra, and pick the 5x or 20x level to match your usage.
