Google is cutting the price of its AI Plus subscription from $7.99 to $4.99 per month and doubling the storage that comes with it, making the plan a more competitive option against similar AI subscription tiers from rivals.
What changes with the new plan
The updated AI Plus plan now includes 400GB of cloud storage, up from the 200GB subscribers have received since launch. The price drops to $4.99 per month, or local equivalent, and the reduction takes effect on the next billing cycle rather than immediately. The storage increase will roll out over the next few days.
The plan’s core benefits remain unchanged. Subscribers get double the usage limits in the Gemini app compared to the free tier, a 128,000-token context window, and access to features like Daily Brief, Omni Flash video generation, and scheduled interactions. AI Plus members also get expanded limits in NotebookLM, Proofread and AI Inbox in Gmail, and additional access in Google Flow, AI Studio, and Antigravity.
Google is also formally rebranding its $9.99 per month 2TB storage tier as Google AI Plus, bringing it under the same product umbrella.
Where this fits in Google’s AI subscription lineup
Google has been actively reshaping its AI subscription tiers in recent months. In April, the company upgraded AI Pro with 5TB storage at no extra cost. At I/O last month, AI Ultra received a new $100 per month entry point, while the top-tier option dropped from $250 to $200 per month.
The AI Plus price cut positions the entry-level plan more aggressively against competitors like OpenAI’s ad-supported $8 per month ChatGPT Go plan. At $4.99, Google’s plan is now the lowest-priced major AI subscription from a top-tier provider.
