Gemini App Tiers: What Each Plan Offers
Google’s Gemini AI service is now divided into three main plans: Free, AI Pro, and AI Ultra. Each comes with its own usage limits and capabilities, targeting different kinds of users from casual experimenters to power users.
Free Plan: A Taste of Gemini
For users on the free tier, Gemini access is limited but still useful for casual use:
- 5 prompts per day using the Gemini 2.5 Pro model with a 32,000-token context window
- 100 AI-generated images per day
- 20 Audio Overviews per day
- 5 Deep Research reports per month using the Gemini Flash model
This plan is ideal for trying out the features, but serious users will quickly run into limits.
Google AI Pro Plan: A Big Step Up
Priced at $19.99 per month, the Pro plan offers a significant bump in capacity and quality:
- 100 prompts per day using Gemini 2.5 Pro
- 1,000 image generations/edits daily
- 3 Veo 3 Fast video generations per day
- 20 Deep Research reports per day powered by the Gemini 2.5 Pro model
This tier is great for more consistent users who need reliable daily access and multimedia capabilities.
Google AI Ultra Plan: Maximum Power
Targeted at professionals and heavy users, the Ultra plan is priced at $249.99 per month and includes:
- 500 Gemini 2.5 Pro prompts per day
- 10 Deep Think prompts per day for more advanced reasoning tasks
- 1,000 images daily
- 5 Veo 3 videos per day
- 200 Deep Research reports daily using Gemini 2.5 Pro
This plan is designed for developers, researchers, and creators who need the full range of Gemini’s power without restriction.
Other Features
While Google hasn’t listed exact limits for features like Canvas, Gems, and others, it mentions they are “generally available to most users.” This could imply usage caps might still apply based on demand or server load, especially for free accounts.
SQ Magazine Takeaway
I’m glad Google finally laid it all out. For months, the vague “limited access” language was frustrating. Now that we know exactly what each tier offers, it’s easier to make a choice. If you’re just dipping your toes into Gemini, the free version is a solid starting point. But if you’re creating images or doing deep research regularly, the Pro or Ultra plans clearly unlock the real potential. Honestly, it’s about time Google treated users with this level of transparency.
