at its latest developer conference, google officially overhauled its ai subscription system, introducing a tiered model of computational capacity quotas and comprehensively adjusting pricing, features, and resource allocation. this upgrade not only adds an affordable $100 tier but also lowers prices and expands capacity for existing premium plans, while integrating gemini services into a refined usage‑based management system tied to time and computational power—each subscription level now comes with a weekly limit of 5 hours of model calls, with quotas refreshed periodically; exceeding the limit requires waiting for a reset.
ai ultra ($100/month)—an efficient advanced solution for professional users
this tier is positioned as the core toolkit for developers, tech decision‑makers, seasoned content creators, and knowledge‑intensive professionals. compared to ai pro, gemini call volume has increased fivefold; it also includes 20 tb of google one cloud storage, a personal youtube premium membership, priority access to project starline (formerly the “anti‑gravity” remote collaboration platform), and early access to the gemini 3.5 flash model. crucially, users can fully activate gemini spark—a round‑the‑clock ai assistant deeply integrated into the google ecosystem, supporting automated cross‑product task execution, from intelligent gmail archiving to generating youtube video summaries, enabling truly proactive productivity collaboration.
ai ultra ($200/month)—an optimized upgrade from the former $250 tier
the previous high‑end plan has been officially reduced to $200 per month, maintaining top‑tier resource availability while further enhancing practicality: gemini call allowances are 20 times those of ai pro and four times the new $100 tier, significantly improving stability and scalability in high‑frequency use cases. additionally, this tier exclusively grants access to project genie—an experimental framework that combines street‑level imagery with spatial computing capabilities, allowing users to quickly build interactive, navigable immersive digital environments based on real‑world geographic coordinates.
notably, this reform marks gemini’s official farewell to the “unlimited calls” era, with all subscribers now subject to a standardized weekly quota of 5 hours of model runtime; once exceeded, the system automatically suspends service until the next cycle resets.
