Google Launches Affordable AI Plus Subscription in Over 40 Countries

Google has introduced a new AI Plus subscription service in over 40 countries, offering an affordable option at $5 per month. Initially announced in Indonesia, this service includes access to Gemini 2.5 Pro, tools like Flow, Whisk, and Veo 3 Fast, as well as 200GB of cloud storage.

The company plans to expand this service to more countries. Similarly, OpenAI has launched a budget-friendly subscription called 'ChatGPT Go' in India and Indonesia, providing users with increased usage limits compared to the free version.

These affordable subscriptions aim to offset the high operational costs of AI services. As AI subscription costs continue to rise, these budget options offer better value to users.

With the rising costs of AI services, these affordable subscriptions provide better value to users. If successful, they may expand to other countries, including the US.
