Google is rolling out its more affordable AI Plus subscription plan to every market where its AI services are available including the U.S

Starting this week, U.S. users can subscribe for $7.99 per month, the company announced on Tuesday.

The broader launch expands the lower-cost plan to 35 additional countries and territories, building on earlier rollouts that began last September in markets like Indonesia and gradually spread across dozens of regions worldwide.

With Google AI Plus, subscribers get access to Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro in the Gemini app, along with Flow’s AI filmmaking tools and research and writing features in NotebookLM. The plan also includes 200GB of cloud storage and allows users to share benefits with up to five family members.

Google says existing Google One Premium 2TB subscribers will automatically receive all AI Plus benefits over the next few days at no extra cost.

Originally aimed at emerging markets, AI Plus is positioned as a step up from Google’s free AI tools for users who don’t need or can’t justify the $20-per-month Google AI Pro subscription. Pricing varies by region, but in the U.S., the $8 monthly cost could help introduce Google’s AI products to a more casual audience. In many other markets, the plan is even cheaper  for example, it costs ₹399 (about $4.44 USD) per month in India.

When Google first introduced the plan, it said the goal was to make tools like Gemini, Veo, and other creative AI features more accessible in emerging markets. The move also puts Google in direct competition with OpenAI’s ChatGPT Go plan, which is priced at $8 per month in the U.S. and lower in some regions. Both offerings are designed to attract new users who may become long-term AI subscribers over time.

To sweeten the launch, Google is offering 50% off the first two months of an AI Plus subscription for a limited time.
