Google Gemini has a lot to offer, regardless of whether you pay for a subscription or not. The cheapest paid plan of Gemini, known as Google AI Pro, costs $20/month, whereas the most expensive offering, the Google AI Ultra, will set users back by $250/month. Gemini has now announced a new subscription plan that sits below AI Pro, thereby making it accessible to a vast audience.

The new Google AI Plus plan has gone live in Indonesia, with plans to roll it out to other markets soon, per the Google Gemini account on X/Twitter. The goal here is “to empower people in emerging markets to do more with Google AI, for less,” according to the company. Google also published a blog post (in Indonesian) detailing some of the benefits of the AI Plus subscription.

Pricing is set at IDR 75,000/month ($4.50), though Google is running a promotion that slashes 50% off the cost for a period of six months. There’s no fixed date for an expansion into other markets, as Google probably wants to gauge the response in Indonesia and decide accordingly.

Unsurprisingly, the benefits/perks are lower than what you will find in the AI Pro plan, which offers up to 100 prompts per day, with the free/basic plan offering only five. While the blog post or the tweet doesn’t specify exactly how many fewer prompts, images, and video generations subscribers get in a day, the Indonesian support page for Google Gemini offers some clues.

Google AI Plus could be a game-changer in emerging markets

Based on our recent reporting on Gemini’s limits, we can estimate that the Google AI Plus plan will offer 25 prompts a day. The context window is capped at 128,000, whereas the AI Pro and Ultra plans have this extended to 1 million, while free users only get a context size of 32,000. This plan also includes 200GB of Google One storage bundled for all your media.

Perhaps the most attractive benefit of the new AI Plus plan is that it also supports “limited access” to video generation with Veo 3 Fast (preview), in addition to Whisk and Flow. Similarly, users will get limited access to image generation and editing, which is potentially the same as the free Gemini tier. If our math is accurate, this should give AI Plus users up to 100 image generations and edits each day.

Google AI Plus subscribers also get the same limited access to Deep Research using Gemini 2.5 Pro, while Audio Overviews are available for all users, including free customers. The perk that some users will be looking forward to will be “Priority access to some new features,” which is available exclusively to paying customers. Lastly, Google AI Plus subscribers also get access to Gemini in Gmail, Docs, and Sheets.

While some of the features available under the AI Plus plan pale in comparison to AI Pro and Ultra, offering users an affordable alternative to Gemini’s paywalled features sounds like a winning strategy.
