How much does Gemini Advanced cost?
The plan once called Gemini Advanced is now Google AI Pro, at $19.99/month — it bundles the Gemini app's top models, 2 TB of storage, and Gemini in Gmail/Docs. Above it, Google AI Ultra is $249.99/month with the highest limits, Deep Think and Project Flow. The free tier covers everyday Gemini use. The standout deal: eligible university students get Google AI Pro free for 12 months. Yearly math: Pro is $239.88/year at monthly billing — a dollar-month under ChatGPT Plus's $240 — and the storage plus Workspace integration is why many Google-first households keep it alongside another assistant rather than instead of one.
