Google has made its AI Plus plan, a more affordable subscription for its suite of AI tools, available in all markets where Google AI plans are offered, the company announced Tuesday. In the U.S., the plan costs $7.99 per month.
The expansion brings the plan to 35 additional countries and territories, following earlier launches in Indonesia and other regions beginning last September. Google AI Plus is intended to provide an accessible entry point for users who want premium AI features but do not require the higher-tier Google AI Pro plan, typically priced at $20 per month.
Subscribers to AI Plus gain access to Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro in the Gemini app, AI filmmaking tools from Flow, research and writing support in NotebookLM, and more. The plan also includes 200GB of cloud storage and allows benefits to be shared with up to five family members. Google said existing Google One Premium 2TB subscribers will automatically receive AI Plus features over the next few days.
Initially targeting emerging markets, Google designed the plan to offer creative AI tools at an affordable price while introducing new users to the broader ecosystem. The U.S. pricing of $7.99 per month aligns closely with OpenAI’s ChatGPT Go subscription, which costs $8 per month. In other regions, pricing is lower—for example, $4.44 per month in India.
The rollout aims to attract casual or first-time users who may gradually adopt higher-tier AI services, potentially increasing long-term engagement with Google’s AI offerings. To encourage early adoption, Google is offering a promotional 50% discount for the first two months of subscription.
By expanding AI Plus, Google is broadening access to generative AI and creative tools globally, competing directly with other AI subscription services, and providing a low-cost pathway for new users to explore Gemini, NotebookLM, and Flow.
