Google is expanding Google AI Plus into 35 additional countries and territories, including the United States, widening access to a lower-priced subscription that bundles premium AI capabilities across multiple Google products.
Google AI Plus is a paid Google One subscription tier that bundles expanded access to Google’s consumer AI features (mainly Gemini + creative tools) plus 200GB of cloud storage. The rollout makes Google AI Plus available everywhere Google AI plans are available as the company continues to package its newest AI models and tools into consumer-friendly plans.
At its core, Google AI Plus is pitched as an “accessible price” entry point to “powerful AI models and tools” designed to “level up your productivity and creativity.” Google framed the move as a way to help people do more with Google AI for less, expanding the plan’s geographic footprint while also introducing U.S. pricing and a limited-time introductory discount for new subscribers.
The plan’s value proposition is split between new AI features and traditional Google One benefits. On the AI side, Google AI Plus includes Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro in the Gemini app, along with AI filmmaking tools in Flow and research and writing assistance in NotebookLM. In practice, Google is positioning the subscription as a single pass that unlocks a broader set of AI experiences across the products where users already spend time, rather than requiring separate purchases or product-specific add-ons.
On the storage side, the plan includes 200GB of storage, reinforcing the link between Google’s AI subscriptions and its cloud storage business. Google also emphasized that subscribers can share “all of the benefits” with up to five other family members, extending the plan beyond an individual use case and aiming to make the economics more compelling for households.
The announcement also includes an upgrade path for existing customers. Google said that Google One Premium 2TB subscribers in the newly supported countries and territories will “automatically get access to all the benefits of Google AI Plus in the next few days.” That approach effectively broadens distribution immediately by turning on new AI benefits for an installed base of higher-tier storage subscribers, while using the lower-priced plan to attract new users who want AI features without committing to a larger storage bundle.
For U.S. customers, Google AI Plus costs $7.99 per month. Google added a limited-time promotion that gives new subscribers 50% off the first two months of their subscription, a tactic that lowers the barrier to trying the plan while broadening availability and highlighting new features across Gemini, Flow, and NotebookLM. Together, the geographic expansion, bundled benefits, family sharing, and promotional pricing underscore Google’s push to make its latest AI tools easier to access and simpler to pay for in a single subscription.
