On December 9, 2025, Google officially launched its new subscription tier — Google AI Plus — in India, priced at just ₹399 per month (₹199/month introductory for six months for new subscribers). The plan makes advanced AI tools under the Gemini ecosystem accessible to a much wider audience, along with 200 GB of cloud storage and creative AI features.

What is Google AI Plus — Plan Overview

• Google AI Plus is a mid‑tier AI subscription introduced in India to complement its existing higher-end plans.

• Previously, Google offered only premium plans like Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra in India.

• The AI Plus plan aims to bridge the gap between the free tier and premium plans — offering substantial AI capabilities at an affordable price.

What Google AI Plus Offers — Key Features

Gemini, Creative Tools & Workspace Integration

Under Google AI Plus, users gain access to:

• Gemini 3 Pro (or equivalent Gemini‑powered AI tools) via the Gemini app.

• AI‑powered creative tools including video generation (via Veo 3 / Veo 3.1 Fast), tools like Flow (for AI‑filmmaking / video creation) and Whisk (for image‑to‑video or creative content).

• Integration of Gemini into productivity apps such as Gmail, Docs, Sheets etc., enabling AI assistance within everyday workflows.

AI Credits & Resource Allowances

• Users receive a monthly quota of 200 AI credits, which can be utilized for features like Flow and Whisk.
