- Everyday AI inside Gmail, Docs and Sheets
Gemini is Google’s AI assistant. It runs as a standalone app and inside Gmail, Docs, Sheets and Slides. That integration is the main reason people pick it over ChatGPT.
Who Gemini is for
If your work already lives in Google Workspace, Gemini has an advantage nothing else matches. It reads your documents and mail in place, so you skip the copy-and-paste loop.
The free app handles everyday questions. Paid tiers raise model access and bundle Google One storage, which changes the maths if you were paying for storage anyway.
Which Google AI plan should you pick?
AI Plus is the entry tier. Google cut it to $4.99 a month in June 2026 and doubled storage to 400GB, making it the cheapest credible subscription from a major lab.
AI Pro at $19.99 a month is the mainstream choice: four times the Gemini access, 5TB of storage, Deep Search, Google Flow and the Jules coding agent.
AI Ultra starts at $100 a month. Google halved that entry price from $250 and added a $200 tier with Project Genie.
