Google AI Subscriptions 2026: Features in Plus, Pro, & Ultra Tiers

Following the major platform overhaul at Google I/O 2026, Google completely restructured its subscription matrix, shifting away from standard daily prompt caps to a dynamic “compute-used” usage model. Under this framework, your quota consumption refreshes in a rolling 5-hour window, calculated by prompt complexity, chat lengths, and resource-heavy generations (like video, deep research, and coding agents).

To match varying workloads, Google split its subscription ladder into four active premium tiers: AI Plus, AI Pro, and two distinct variants of AI Ultra ($100/month and $200/month).

Here is the precise feature breakdown of what you unlock at every premium tier.

Google AI Plus
