Most paid AI subscriptions will run you $20 a month. ChatGPT Plus is $20. Claude Pro is $20. That’s just where the industry settled. So when Google drops its Google AI Plus plan to $4.99, it’s worth paying attention.
Google announced today that AI Plus is getting a price cut from $7.99 to $4.99 a month, with annual plans dropping from $79.99 to $49.99. On top of that, storage doubles from 200GB to 400GB across Gmail, Drive, and Photos. The storage bump rolls out over the next few days; the lower price kicks in at your next billing cycle.
What You Actually Get
For $4.99, you’re getting 2x higher Gemini usage limits compared to the free tier, a 128k context window, and access to NotebookLM and Daily Brief. Omni Flash video generation is in there too, along with expanded features across Gmail and Docs. To be clear, this isn’t the same as paying $20 for ChatGPT Plus. Usage limits are tighter, and you won’t have access to the top-tier models that heavy users lean on. But if you use Gemini a few times a day and already live in Google’s apps, Google AI Plus covers a lot of ground for the price.
The 400GB of storage is a reasonable pitch on its own for anyone already paying for extra Google One space. At $4.99 a month, it’s worth checking whether Google AI Plus just replaced a plan you were already paying for.
