Google AI Pro vs Ultra is a big jump in price: Pro costs $19.99 a month, while Ultra now comes in two tiers at $99.99 and $199.99. Ultra gives five or twenty times the Pro usage in the Gemini app, far more video and coding capacity, 20 TB of storage and a full YouTube Premium plan. For most people, Pro is plenty.
The short answer: choose Google AI Pro for everyday use of Gemini, Gmail and Docs features, and 5 TB of storage. Choose AI Ultra only if you create a lot of AI video, code heavily with Google’s tools or keep hitting Pro limits.

What Changed in 2026
In its May 2026 announcement, Google added a new Ultra tier at around $100 a month aimed at developers, knowledge workers and creators, and cut the top Ultra tier from $250 to $200. Usage limits also moved from daily prompt caps to a compute-based system that refreshes every five hours up to a weekly cap. When you hit the cap on the largest models, Gemini switches you to smaller ones instead of stopping you.
