How Much Does Google Gemini Cost?
Google's consumer AI plans are per-month with a free tier — and Google Workspace bundles change the math for businesses.
The plan structure
A free tier exists for light use; paid tiers add model access and higher limits.
Workspace plans bundle AI features per seat.
Verify current pricing — Google reshuffles these tiers.
What people actually spend
Consumers: one plan, or free.
Businesses: per-seat Workspace bundles.
Developers: Gemini API billed per token, separate from any plan.
The agent angle
Agents hit the Gemini API, not the consumer plan. Per-token API spend is the uncontrolled part.

| Tier | Type | Watch |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Consumer | Limits |
| AI Pro | Consumer monthly | Model access |
| AI Ultra/Advanced | Power user | Rate changes |
