API (pay as you go)

Usage based

Teams who want to pay only for what they use.

Which plan to pickStart on Pro. It is enough to build a small site or tool in evenings and weekends. If you hit the limit most days, Max 5x is the next step; it costs five times as much but usually works out cheaper than paying for the API directly.Start on the free Individual tier; it is the whole point. If you hit the weekly limits and you also use Gemini for other things, Google AI Pro at $19.99 is a sensible step. Ultra only makes sense for full-time developers.Start on the free Starter plan to see if the agent builds what you have in mind. Move to Core as soon as you want to keep an app online. Watch your credit usage in the first month, because that tells you whether Core is enough or you are better off on Pro.

  • Costs on Max or the API add up fast for teams
  • Free limits have been cut before and could change again
