Google today announced that it is expanding its more affordable Google AI Plus subscription plan to 35 countries and territories, including the United States.

In the U.S., Google AI Plus is priced at $7.99, giving Google Gemini users a more affordable option for accessing upgraded AI services. Prior to now, Google AI Pro was the most affordable AI subscription plan at $19.99 per month.

Google AI Plus includes Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro in the Gemini app, as well as AI filmmaking tools in Flow, and access to research and writing assistance in NotebookLM. It also includes 200GB of storage, with benefits able to be shared with up to five other family members.

For a limited time, Google is offering new AI Plus subscribers a 50 percent discount for the first two months of the subscription, dropping the price to $3.99. Customers will pay $3.99 for access for two months, before being charged the full $7.99 per month price.

Google One Premium 2TB customers who pay $9.99 per month will automatically get access to the benefits of Google AI Plus in the coming days.

Google AI Plus includes 200 monthly AI credits for video generation, which is 100 more credits than the free Google AI option. The free tier has limited access to Gemini 3 Pro, but subscribers will be able to use 3 Pro with fewer limitations, while also accessing Deep Research. The plan also offers limited access to Veo 3.1 Fast and Gemini in Chrome.

“AI filmmaking” is not a thing. They are not filming anything. There is no shooting. They are sending a request to a server for an mpeg file.

For 200 credits you’ll get something like 50 seconds worth of slop a month.

The phone you have in your pocket could shoot an indie film or documentary at higher quality than most prosumer cameras could 20 years ago.

I love the smell of desperation, and the race to the bottom.

Looks they are desperate for "paying" customers, so ads and personal info processing alone don't cut it ... better re-think this whole "shove AI down everyone's throat" approach ...

So is this what Apple chose to make Siri better? 😬

I’m really hoping Apple doesn’t bundle this into Apple One then raise the price. I want to love it, but I don’t even like it.
Apple's implementation of Gemini for Siri will be completely separate. Not running on Google's servers, but instead on Apple's servers, with Google having no access to user data. That is what is being reported.

People are tired of being AI’ed to death on everything. Even with the low price, I won’t be signing up, especially since it’s Google. Can’t trust them one bit with anything.
