Google AI Plus Vs Pro Vs Ultra: What Each Plan Includes (2026)

Google’s AI subscriptions now run from a $4.99 Plus plan to a $199.99 top Ultra plan, and the gaps go well beyond how much you can chat.

Storage, model access, bundled services and a few US-only features all change from tier to tier.

This guide lists the differences as of November 2026, using figures from Google’s I/O announcement and recent reporting.

How do Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra compare?

Plan	US price per month	Storage	Usage vs free tier	Manual Pro model choice	YouTube Premium
AI Plus	$4.99	400 GB	2x	No, from November 13	Not listed
AI Pro	$19.99	5 TB	4x	Yes	YouTube Premium Lite, select countries
AI Ultra (lower tier)	$99.99	20 TB	5x Pro	Yes	YouTube Premium
AI Ultra (top tier)	$199.99	30 TB	20x Pro	Yes	YouTube Premium

Google rounds the Ultra prices to $100 and $200 in its own announcement.

Why is AI Plus losing Pro model access?

Subscribers report notices saying AI Plus can no longer manually pick Pro models in the Gemini app and in AI Mode in Search, starting November 13.

Plus users keep Flash and Flash-Lite, and older Pro chats stay in history but get answers from a lighter model.

What do all paid plans include?

Google lists two things that every paid subscriber gets.

• Gemini Omni: Google’s video creation and editing model, available on Plus, Pro and Ultra.
• Gemini 3.5 Flash: the default fast model across the paid tiers.
• AI Inbox in Gmail: offered to US Plus, Pro and Ultra subscribers.

The Gemini app’s Daily Brief is also US-only at launch.

How do usage limits work now?

Google replaced fixed daily prompt counts with a compute-based limit.

• Light requests: a simple text prompt uses less of your quota than video or coding work.
• Reset: the limit refreshes every five hours, and a weekly cap applies.
• Going over: you are moved to smaller models until the limit resets.

What do you get by paying for Pro instead of Plus?

• Models: Pro keeps manual selection of Pro models, which Plus loses.
• Usage: 4x the free tier, against 2x for Plus.
• Storage: 5 TB, against 400 GB.
• Bundles: Google Health Premium and Google Home Premium benefits, plus YouTube Premium Lite in select countries.
• Top-ups: Pro and Ultra can buy extra credits for Google Antigravity and Google Flow.

What does Ultra add on top of Pro?

• Usage: 5x Pro on the $99.99 plan and 20x Pro on the $199.99 plan, in the Gemini app and Antigravity.
• Storage: 20 TB on the lower tier and 30 TB on the top tier.
• YouTube: the full individual YouTube Premium plan.
• Gemini Spark: an AI agent Google calls a 24/7 assistant, in US-only beta first.
• Project Genie: listed only for the $199.99 plan.

Is there a student offer for AI Pro?

Google’s plans page says eligible students can get AI Pro free for one year.

It also lists AI Pro plus YouTube Premium for $8.99 per month for students.

Check the eligibility rules on Google’s page, since this post cannot confirm who qualifies.

Which features are limited by region?

• AI Inbox in Gmail and Daily Brief: US-only at launch.
• Gemini Spark: US-only, with early access for Ultra.
• YouTube Premium Lite for Pro: select countries only.
