TL;DR
Google is offering new customers a 50% discount on its annual AI Pro plan, reducing the 2TB tier to $100 for one year. Similar half-price deals apply to most Google One storage plans, but the Ultra AI tier is not discounted and the promotion is region- and new-user-limited.
What happened
As the year closes, Google announced a short-term price cut aimed at new customers: the AI Pro (2TB) annual subscription is being offered at 50% off, bringing the first-year cost to $100. The company’s post referenced the AI Pro discount specifically, but comparable half-price reductions are available for nearly all Google One storage tiers — for example, the 100GB Basic plan is down to $10/year (from $20) and the 2TB Premium Google One plan is $50/year (from $100). These Google One options raise account storage and can be shared with up to five family members, but they do not expand Gemini 3 Pro usage limits or add AI credits. The AI Pro package includes prioritized access to Gemini’s latest model, higher rate limits for several Google AI tools, extra Google Photos filters, Whisk with Veo 3 access, and Google Home Premium Standard. The promotion excludes the AI Ultra tier and applies only to new sign-ups in supported regions; it will auto-renew at the regular price after the year unless canceled.
Why it matters
- Makes full Gemini access via AI Pro substantially cheaper for new users for the first year.
- Provides a low-cost way to increase Google storage with Google One plans, useful for users who need more space but not extra AI capacity.
- Highlights how Google differentiates benefits between storage-only Google One plans and AI-focused AI Pro subscriptions.
- Limits — regional restrictions and new-user eligibility — affect who can take advantage of the price cuts.
