Google expanded its lower-priced Google AI Plus plan to the United States in January 2026. The original U.S. launch quote was $7.99 per month, with a temporary introductory discount.
The bundle included 200 GB of storage and access to selected Gemini, Flow, Whisk, NotebookLM, and Google-app AI features. Its usage limits were lower than the higher-priced Pro plan.

This gave users another option between free access and a more expensive subscription. Whether it is useful depends on the features and limits you actually need.
The original $3.99 introductory price was time-limited. Check the Google AI Plus help page and Google One for current pricing, eligibility, and limits. The models named in the launch post may have changed.
