Google AI Plus Launches in the US at $8 Monthly
Google has launched its new subscription plan, Google AI Plus, in the United States. This affordable plan is available for $8 per month. For a limited time, new subscribers can enjoy a discounted rate of $4 per month for the first two months.
Features of Google AI Plus
AI Plus offers a variety of features aimed at enhancing user experience. Subscribers will benefit from:
- 200GB of storage
- Access to the Gemini 3 Pro model
- Deep Research and Nano Banana Pro through the Gemini app
The Nano Banana Pro tool is particularly noteworthy. It can generate images so realistic that they resemble actual photographs taken on smartphones. Due to high demand, Google has had to impose usage limits on this feature.
Enhanced AI Tools
Alongside storage and image generation, AI Plus expands access to several of Google’s innovative tools:
- Flow – an AI filmmaking tool
- Whisk – an image-to-video creator
- NotebookLM – a research assistant
This range of tools positions AI Plus as a versatile option for users interested in AI applications.
Global Rollout
In addition to the US launch, Google AI Plus will also be introduced in 34 other countries. This expansion ensures that users in various regions where Google offers AI services can access the new plan.
Subscription Comparisons
AI Plus is competitively priced. At $8 a month, it is significantly less than the $20 monthly fee for the AI Pro subscription, which provides 2TB of storage along with additional tools like code assist. The highest tier, AI Ultra, is priced at $250 per month and includes 30TB of storage and a comprehensive suite of AI tools.
Integration with Google One
If you currently hold a Google One Premium subscription that offers 2TB of storage, you can expect to receive all the features of AI Plus in the coming days. This integration enhances the value of the Google One service for existing subscribers.
