Google is broadening the reach of its new AI Plus subscription, a budget-tier Gemini plan first introduced in Indonesia earlier this month. Following strong uptake, the plan is now expanding to 40 additional countries, bringing more affordable access to Google’s AI ecosystem outside of its premium $20/month AI Pro and $250/month AI Ultra tiers.
Priced at around $4.50 per month (with country-specific adjustments), AI Plus provides significantly higher usage and editing limits within Gemini’s Nano Banana, along with access to Veo 3 Fast for video generation, creative tools like Whisk and Flow with 200 monthly credits, and Deep Research on Gemini 2.5 Pro. The subscription also integrates Gemini across Gmail, Docs, and Sheets, while expanding availability of Audio Overviews and AI-powered notebooks in NotebookLM.
Beyond AI tools, subscribers receive 200GB of Google storage, shareable with family groups, making the plan a hybrid between AI access and a cloud storage upgrade. For first-time users, Google is offering a 50% discount on the first six months.
The expansion covers a wide range of markets, including Bangladesh, Egypt, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Ukraine, Vietnam, and many more across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The offering is clearly aimed at making Google’s AI ecosystem accessible in regions where the $20/month Pro plan would be prohibitively expensive.
The move also positions Google AI Plus directly against OpenAI’s ChatGPT Go, which launched in India and recently rolled out in Indonesia at a similar sub-$5 price point. Both plans target budget-conscious users, offering higher usage limits and key features without the cost of flagship subscriptions.
The new Google AI Plus plan is available in the following countries: Angola, Bangladesh, Benin, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Egypt, El Salvador, Ghana, Haiti, Honduras, Indonesia, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Mali, Mexico, Moldova, Morocco, Mozambique, Nepal, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Rwanda, Senegal, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Yemen, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
