Google scored a big victory yesterday as its Gemini model became the foundation of Apple’s new Siri. But the tech giant is pushing even harder to grab as much market share during the AI boom as possible – it just made its base AI plan cheaper.
Google AI Plus used to be $8 a month and came with 200GB of storage. The monthly price has been reduced to $5 or the local equivalent, wrote Vikas Kansal on his X account (Kansal is the Product lead for Google AI subscriptions).
We clicked around the various local sites and here are some of the prices in local currencies: USD 5 / CAD 7 / GBP 4.50 / EUR 5 / INR 400. Check this page to find your local pricing.
Even better, the storage allotment has been doubled to 400GB. You can use this for Gmail, Drive and Photos too, not just for the AI stuff. This has essentially taken over the old Google One plans.
Gemini Daily Brief
Anyway, Google has been adding new features – here’s what you can use with a Plus subscription. You can have Gemini in your Gmail inbox (see the video below), Daily Brief and Gemini Omni (video generation).
