Which plan to pickStart on Starter if it is just you. Move to Professional when you have a developer or second designer involved, and put them on a cheaper dev or collab seat rather than a full seat. Organization and Enterprise are for companies, not small businesses.Start free in the Gemini app to see if it suits your work. If you make images most weeks, Google AI Pro is the one to buy because it unlocks Nano Banana Pro and comes with Gemini, video credits and storage. Developers should use Nano Banana 2 on the API and save Pro for hero images.Starter is too thin to learn on if video is the point. Plus is where most marketers should land, and the unlimited image models mean stills stop eating credits. Ultra only makes sense if you are shipping video every day. Yearly billing is cheaper but risky while the plans keep changing.
