Which plan to pickBusiness Standard is the plan to be on. Starter is cheap but leaves out Gemini in Docs, Sheets and Slides, which is the whole point. Only move to Plus if you need Vault or the extra storage, not for the AI.Standard covers most individuals; watch the usage dashboard on your first big job. Move to Business when several people need it or you want to run it on your own AI account.Use the free credits on a real task first, like a competitor overview deck. If it saves you time, Basic on yearly billing is the cheapest way in. Prices are often discounted, so check the upgrade screen.
