Common Pitfalls

The free version may experience rate limiting during peak hours; functional upgrades are often bundled with Google One subscriptions, making standalone upgrades less noticeable

2026-07-27 The official websites gemini.google/subscriptions/ and one.google.com/about/plans were successfully accessed. The prices for AI Plus at US$4.99, AI Pro at US$19.99, and AI Ultra 5x/20x at US$99.99/US$199.99 remain unchanged. However, one.google.com/about/plans only displays the 'Google AI Plus' version at US$9.99/2TB this time, without showing the US$4.99 version. Nevertheless, gemini.google/subscriptions/ confirms that the US$4.99/400GB version still exists, indicating the coexistence of two SKUs, which is not a delisting, and awaits official clarification.

2026-07-25 The AI Plus price has been raised from US$5 to US$7.99, with new subscribers receiving a 50% discount for the first two months, and no expiration date is specified. The original single AI Ultra plan at US$249.99 has been restructured into two tiers, AI Ultra 5x at US$100 and AI Ultra 20x at US$200, during Google I/O 2026. The AI Pro plan remains at approximately US$19.99, close to its original price.
2026-07-25 The official website (gemini.google/subscriptions/) has revised the price of AI Plus from US$7.99 to US$4.99 (a permanent reduction starting from 2026/6/9, not a limited-time discount; storage space increased from 200GB to 400GB, as reported by multiple media outlets). The price of AI Ultra has been precisely listed as US$99.99/US$199.99 (previously recorded as US$100/US$200, which was rounded). However, the one.google.com/about/plans page still lists another plan named 'Google AI Plus' for US$9.99/2TB, and the reason for the coexistence of these two plans is unclear, so it is recommended to continue monitoring the situation.

Has a free plan

What Is This

Google's AI with the deepest ecosystem integration, generous free version, and student plans that often come with discounts.

Free Version Limitations

NT$0/month, free to anyone with a Google account. Model available: Gemini 3.6 Flash; the official site states plainly that access to 3.1 Pro may vary, meaning free-tier access to Pro fluctuates and is not guaranteed. Features included on the free tier: image generation and editing, Deep Research, Gemini Live, Canvas, Gems, Gemini Notebook (research and writing), the Google Flow creative studio, plus limited usage of Nano Banana Pro. Cloud storage 15 GB (shared across Gmail/Drive/Photos). How the quota is counted and when it resets, in the official footnote's own words: the Gemini app measures usage limits by compute, which depends on prompt complexity, the features you use and conversation length; usage resets every 5 hours, up to a weekly usage cap. In other words the free tier is not a fixed number of messages per day but a compute allowance that resets every 5 hours plus an overall weekly cap; long conversations, Deep Research and image generation burn through it faster than plain chat. When the quota runs out you can buy AI credits. The official site does not publish the specific compute figure for the free tier.

What Sets Us Apart

The preferred choice for moderate users. The difference between this and AI Plus is 4 times the quota, the addition of YouTube Premium Lite, and 5 times the storage space. The difference between this and AI Ultra is the quota, price, and the lack of top-tier features.

Other tools in the same category as Gemini — free tiers and pricing vary, so you can compare them side by side.

ChatGPT logo ChatGPT AI chat assistant

The world's most widely used AI assistant, handling conversation, search, image generation, and voice all in one place

FreeNT$0/month, open to everyone. The official site lists the free-tier limits one by one: limited access to GPT-5.5 Instant, limited messages and uploads, limited and slower image generation, limited deep research, limited memory and context, limited Codex, limited ChatGPT Work desktop app. The only place the official site gives concrete numbers is the plan comparison table: free-tier GPT Instant total context window 27K (Go/Plus 54K, Pro 128K); free-tier single-input cap about 12 pages of text (Go/Plus about 40 pages, Pro about 250 pages); the context window for reasoning models is marked depends on the situation for the free tier (Go/Plus 256K, Pro 400K). Response time on the free tier is marked as limited by system resources and service conditions; only paid plans are fast. Chat history is unlimited on the free tier. Whether content is used for model training can be opted out of. The official site has never published a concrete messages-per-day figure, and this site does not fill in an estimate.

Claude logo Claude AI chat/programming

Long-form writing and document quality are its strengths, with the paid version including the Claude Code engineering tool

FreeThe quota is calculated based on a rolling 5-hour usage window (not simply resetting at a fixed number every day), and general conversations can be used for around 10-20 times, excluding Claude Code.
Grok logo Grok AI Chat/Real-time News

X (Twitter) integrates AI, providing real-time information with a provocative style as its selling point

FreeThe official site publishes no concrete usage figures at all for the free tier, and this site does not fill in an estimate. Verification trail (exhausted): grok.com/pricing returns HTTP 200 but the whole page is rendered by JavaScript, so the static HTML contains no plan names or price text, only Stripe price IDs; opening it in a real browser hits a Cloudflare human-verification wall, which we do not bypass; x.ai/grok returned 403 three times in a row (blocked, not 404). What can be confirmed: free use does exist and is US$0, because in the in-app purchase list on the official Apple App Store listing every paid item belongs to the SuperGrok range, so basic chat requires no payment. Third-party felloai.com states plainly that xAI has never published free-tier numbers anywhere, and says the free tier only gets the lighter Grok 4 Mini, includes basic real-time web and X search, has limited voice mode, and that image and video generation were removed from the free tier on 2026-03-19. The widely circulated figure of about 10 messages every 2 hours has no official backing and is not used here. (Verified 2026-08-09)

Notes

Support for mobile devices (iOS/App/tablet) is yet to be verified and only the web version is listed for now. The official website (gemini.google/subscriptions/) confirms that AI Plus has been revised from US$7.99 to US$4.99 (permanently reduced starting 2026/6/9, not a promotion), and Ultra 5x/20x is precisely US$99.99/US$199.99. Another official webpage, one.google.com/about/plans, lists a similarly named 'Google AI Plus' plan for US$9.99/2TB, with the reason for the coexistence of both plans unclear, and it is recommended to continue monitoring the situation.
