Google Expands Affordable Gemini AI Plus Plan to 77 Countries

Google's affordable Gemini AI Plus plan reaches more markets

In early September, Google rolled out a cheaper Gemini AI Plus plan, bringing the best bits of the more expensive AI Pro plan at a more affordable price point. Initially, the plan was limited to Indonesia, but Google expanded it to 40 more countries within a couple of weeks. Now, just over two weeks later, Google is once again broadening the availability of Gemini AI Plus to even more markets. This time around, Google is making Gemini's AI Plus available in 36 more countries, bringing the total to 77. Like before, the expansion is limited to price-sensitive markets. This includes Albania, Algeria, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Colombia, Fiji, Iraq, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Turkey, South Africa, and Thailand. You can find the full list of countries where the AI Plus plan is available on Google's support page. Pricing will vary depending on the country, but it is notably cheaper than the $20/month AI Pro plan. The perks are also less, though, and include 200GB of storage space and 200 monthly credits for Whisk and Flow. You also get deeper access to Gemini across Google services, Deep Research with the 2.5 Pro model, more audio overviews and notebooks in NotebookLM, additional sources per notebook, expanded customization options, and more. While you can share the 200GB storage space with up to five other family members, the Gemini-related perks are only available to the primary account holder. To sign up for Gemini AI Plus, you must live in a supported country and not be a Google One member through Pixel Pass or a third-party partner. Otherwise, you won't be able to upgrade to the AI Plus plan. Get 50% off on the AI Plus plan for six months As a promotional offer, Google is offering a flat 50% discount on the AI Plus plan for the first six months for eligible users. This will make the cheaper tier even more attractive for new users. Given the plan's price-sensitive positioning, Google may avoid expanding it to markets like Europe, the US, and the UK. ChatGPT has taken a similar approach with its low-cost Go plan, keeping it limited to price-sensitive regions
