- Code spotted in the latest Google app and Google One app suggests a potential new “Google AI Lite” plan.
- This new tier could potentially sit between the current free and Pro subscriptions, offering increased rate limits for features like deep research and video generation.
- Google has not officially announced this plan, and it’s unclear if and when it will launch.
Google Gemini is available for free to all users with a personal Google account. If you want to try out what Gemini can do for you, the free plan gives you a fairly extensive trial, but understandably, there are rate limits for features like image generation, Deep Research, and more. If you want more generous limits or access to features like newer models, you need to pay $19.99 a month for Google AI Pro or $249.99 a month for the Google AI Ultra plan. While the pricing feels fair, it can still be steep for users who want just a bit more than the free tier. There might be good news coming for such users, as Google could be exploring a “Google AI Lite” plan that could slot in between the free and Pro plans.
