{"slug": "what-gemini-app-upgrades-you-get-with-google-ai-plus-ai-pro", "title": "What Gemini app upgrades you get with Google AI Plus & AI Pro", "summary": "Google has introduced AI Plus ($4.99/month) and AI Pro ($19.99/month) subscription tiers for the Gemini app, offering higher usage limits, larger context windows, and exclusive features like Daily briefs, scheduled actions, and advanced image/video generation. Free users remain limited to 32,000 tokens and basic capabilities, while subscribers gain up to 1 million tokens, 4x usage limits, and access to premium AI models.", "body_md": "While the free tier of the Gemini app allows you to be quite productive, subscribing to Google AI Plus or AI Pro unlocks a lot more.\n\n### Usage Limits\n\nIn May, the Gemini app switched to [compute-based usage limits](https://9to5google.com/2026/05/19/google-ai-ultra-100/). Free users get “Standard limits” that you can keep track of at [gemini.google.com/usage](https://gemini.google.com/usage).\n\nThese limits factor in the complexity of your prompt, the models and features you use, and the length of your chat. Your limit refreshes every 5 hours until you reach your weekly limit.\n\nWith AI Plus ($4.99 per month in the US), you get “**2x** higher than standard limits.” AI Pro ($19.99/month) bumps that to “**4x** higher than standard limits.”\n\nAnother important consideration is the **context window**:\n\nWhen you upload files to Gemini Apps, it needs to ‘read’ the content to provide useful insights or answers. The context window is like the reading capacity. It determines how much content can be understood together at one time.\n\nFree accounts are limited to** 32,000** tokens or “around 50 pages of text.” AI Plus brings that up to **128,000 tokens**, while AI Pro gives you **1 million tokens** or 1,500 pages of text (30,000 lines of code).\n\nThis also has an impact on **file uploads**. Free users can only upload videos that are up to 5 minutes in length versus 1 hour with AI Pro. Similarly, audio goes from 10 minutes on the free tier to 3 hours. Uploading code is also restricted to a subscription.\n\n**Notebooks** let you organize projects (trips, exam prep, etc.) and chats with direct NotebookLM integration. Free users can have **100 notebooks** with each supporting up to 50 sources. AI Plus doubles that to **200 notebooks** with 100 sources each, while AI Pro brings that to **500 notebooks** and 300 sources.\n\n### Personal Intelligence\n\nEarlier this year, Gemini made Personal Intelligence’s [ Memory](https://9to5google.com/2026/03/17/gemini-personal-intelligence-free/) available to all users. This joins\n\n**Instructions for Gemini**(customize all responses without having to specify every prompt) and\n\n**Connected Apps**.\n\nAnnounced in May, **Daily brief** provides proactive and personalized updates every morning. Google AI Plus is required.\n\n**Top of mind:** This section shows timely, actionable items. These items primarily come from your Gmail, Calendar, and Gemini chats. This helps you stay informed about your most important updates each day.**Looking ahead:** This section focuses on your longer-term goals. It provides suggested next steps to help you achieve them. Gemini’s AI models generate these suggestions using insights from your Personal Intelligence.\n\n### Image and Video Generation\n\nAs a free user, you can generate images with Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image). Subscribers get access to [Nano Banana Pro](https://9to5google.com/2025/11/20/gemini-3-nano-banana-pro/) (Gemini 3 Pro Image) to “redo” generations with the more advanced model.\n\nVideo generation with [Gemini Omni](https://9to5google.com/2026/05/19/gemini-omni-create-anything-model-video/) for conversational editing requires Google AI Plus or AI Pro.\n\n### Other Features\n\n** Scheduled actions** are prompts that automatically run at a time or condition of your choosing. This capability is only available for subscribers with a limit of 10 actions at a time. It can be used for:\n\n**Daily digests** of your calendar, to-do list, and emails to help you prepare for the day ahead.**Daily topic tracking** to stay up to date on the latest breakthroughs and trends for any subject you’re following online.**Daily market reports** tracking your stock portfolio, cryptocurrency prices, and the latest financial news from the past day.**Daily weather forecasts** paired with outfit ideas based on a list of your personal wardrobe items.**Daily practice quizzes** to help you master a new language, professional skill, or hobby.**Daily creative prompts** or artistic inspiration to jumpstart your personal projects every morning.**Weekly news digests** or details about upcoming tour dates and releases for your favorite musical artists.**Weekly rollups** of new local cafes and restaurants to check out over the weekend.\n\n*FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.* [More.](https://9to5mac.com/about/#affiliate)\n\n[our homepage](http://9to5google.com/)for all the latest news, and follow 9to5Google on\n\n[exclusive stories](https://9to5google.com/feature/exclusive/),\n\n[reviews](https://9to5google.com/guides/reviews/),\n\n[how-tos](https://9to5google.com/guides/how-to/), and\n\n[subscribe to our YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/9to5google)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-gemini-app-upgrades-you-get-with-google-ai-plus-ai-pro", "canonical_source": "https://9to5google.com/2026/07/04/gemini-app-free-plus-pro-features/", "published_at": "2026-07-04 20:40:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-07 01:07:51.103090+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-tools", "large-language-models", "generative-ai"], "entities": ["Google", "Gemini", "AI Plus", "AI Pro", "Nano Banana Pro", "Gemini Omni", "NotebookLM"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-gemini-app-upgrades-you-get-with-google-ai-plus-ai-pro", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-gemini-app-upgrades-you-get-with-google-ai-plus-ai-pro.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-gemini-app-upgrades-you-get-with-google-ai-plus-ai-pro.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-gemini-app-upgrades-you-get-with-google-ai-plus-ai-pro.jsonld"}}
