Editorial note

Cross-checked 2026-09-27: the paid Google AI Pro tier is $19.99/month (multiple current trackers agree; Google's own subscription page geo-redirected to R$96.99/month for this fetch, consistent with that USD figure). AI Pro grants expanded access to Gemini 3.1 Pro (Google's current flagship model) with 4x the free tier's usage limits, Deep Research, Google Flow/Veo video credits, Gemini in Gmail/Docs, and 5TB of Google One storage bundled in.
