Google is expanding its Developer Program with the addition of a new Premium tier, offering developers enhanced benefits and resources for a monthly subscription fee. Launched earlier this year, the Google Developer Program provides a central hub for developers to access tools, resources, and support across Google’s ecosystem.
The new Premium tier, priced at $299 per month, builds upon the existing free Standard plan with a range of valuable additions. These include:
- $500 in monthly Google Cloud credits: This provides developers with ample resources to experiment with Google Cloud services like Gemini Code Assist and Firebase.
- Google Cloud certification voucher: Premium members receive a voucher to help them obtain industry-recognized certifications and advance their careers.
- Unlimited access to Cloud Skills Boost: This grants access to a vast library of over 700 hands-on labs, skill badges, and courses to enhance cloud expertise.
- 1:1 consultations with Google Cloud experts: Premium members can schedule personalized consultations to receive guidance on their cloud and cross-Google projects.
Furthermore, Premium members can earn an additional $500 in Google Cloud credits each year by obtaining a Google Cloud certification.
This expansion of the Developer Program reflects Google’s commitment to supporting developers and fostering innovation within its ecosystem. The Premium tier provides developers with the resources and expertise they need to build and scale their projects on Google Cloud and beyond.
