Google’s Gemini AI app now spans three tiers: Free, AI Pro, and AI Ultra — each with very different access levels to features and models. If you’re trying to figure out which plan is right for you, here’s a breakdown based on the latest features Google has introduced with Gemini AI.
Free Tier (No Google AI Plan)
•Model Access: Limited access to Gemini 2.5 Pro (Preview) and 2.5 Flash
•Deep Research: Minimal access, only using Gemini 2.0 Flash
•Video Generation: Not available
•Image Generation: General access
•Audio Overviews: Limited
•Context Window: 32K tokens
•Early Access to Features: None
Google AI Pro
•Model Access: Expanded access to both Gemini 2.5 Pro and 2.5 Flash
•Deep Research: Available using the latest models
•Video Generation: Limited access with Veo2 (Google’s AI video model)
•Image Generation: Same as free tier
•Audio Overviews: Expanded
•Context Window: 1 million tokens
•Early Feature Access: Some priority access
Google AI Ultra
•Model Access: Highest level of access to Gemini 2.5 Pro and Flash

If you just want basic features, the free version gives you a taste. For serious AI work or content creation, AI Pro gives you broader access without breaking the bank. If you’re all-in on AI tools — especially with video, audio, and long-context tasks — AI Ultra unlocks everything.
Keep in mind, video generation only works with a personal Google Account — not Workspace or business ones.
