Google has just launched its most budget-friendly artificial intelligence (AI) plan in the US, with prices starting at $8 per month. The AI Plus subscription will give users access to a range of tools and features, including 200GB of storage and the Gemini 3 Pro model, Deep Research, and Nano Banana Pro models within the Gemini app.
The Gemini app is particularly noteworthy, as its Nano Banana Pro tool can generate images that are almost indistinguishable from those taken with smartphone cameras. The AI Plus subscription also grants access to Google's Flow filmmaking tool, Whisk image-to-video creator, and NotebookLM research assistant - all at a fraction of the cost of the company's top-tier AI plan.
AI Ultra, which comes with 30TB of storage and access to the full suite of AI tools, costs $250 per month. In contrast, the more affordable AI Plus option cuts the price in half compared to Google's AI Pro subscription, which includes 2TB of storage and additional tools like code assist.
The AI Plus plan is now available in all regions where Google sells its AI services - including 34 new countries, bringing it to a total of several countries worldwide. Additionally, users who are already subscribed to the Google One Premium 2TB service will automatically gain access to the features offered by AI Plus in the coming days.
For those looking for an affordable entry point into Google's AI ecosystem, the $8-per-month price tag of AI Plus makes it an attractive option - especially given its value compared to other AI plans available on the market.

!! $8 a month is like literally insane pricing for all those sick features... i need that nano banana pro tool to make my images pop 
and 200gb of storage is more than enough for me, been using it for youtube vids and editing pics is a breeze 
i'm def subscribing to ai plus ASAP!!
i remember watching those deep learning videos on youtube in 2020 & now this tech is like, waaay more affordable 
and i love how google is making AI more accessible to everyone, not just the pros 
34 new countries getting access to this too? that's wild 
we're living in some amazing times 
. And what's with the $8/month? Sounds like a trap to me! I mean, you get 200GB of storage, but is it really worth sacrificing some privacy and freedom for a fancy AI tool? Not to mention, what happens when these tools become obsolete? You're stuck paying more just to keep up
