To get more out of Gemini-powered features in first-party apps, Google offers AI Plus, AI Pro, and AI Ultra subscriptions. At I/O 2026 in May, the plans got updated usage limits.

Updated 5/25/26

Free
- [Updated] Gemini app
- Google AI Mode
Google AI Plus
Google AI Pro
[New] Google AI Ultra 5x
Google AI Ultra 20x

Instead of a set number of daily prompts, the Gemini app now has “compute-based usage limits that will refresh every 5 hours until you reach your weekly limit.”

Calculation of your usage will factor in the complexity of your prompt, the features you use, and the length of your chat.

Google explains how “premium models and features require more usage and may cause you to reach your limit faster.” This includes the Pro model, Extended thinking, Deep Think, as well as media generation and Deep Research.
