Tech giant Google (GOOGL) announced on Tuesday that its AI Plus subscription plan is expanding to 40 new countries. Interestingly, the plan gives subscribers higher limits for Nano Banana, Google’s viral image generation and editing model, and adds access to Veo 3 Fast, its video generation tool, directly in the Gemini app. By putting these features into one place, Google is making Gemini more of a one-stop shop for AI-powered creativity and productivity.

The subscription also includes several other perks. Indeed, users get access to Whisk and Flow, Google’s filmmaking and image creation tools, along with Gemini features that are built into Gmail, Docs, and Sheets. NotebookLM usage limits are also higher for subscribers, and the plan comes with 200 GB of shared storage across Google Photos, Drive, and Gmail. These benefits are designed to appeal to individuals who are interested in creative projects, as well as those who rely on Google’s everyday productivity tools.
Furthermore, Google added that the plan can be shared with up to five family members. Unsurprisingly, pricing varies by country, but in the U.S., it costs $19.99 per month. Some of the new countries include Angola, Bangladesh, Benin, Bolivia, Ukraine, and Vietnam. It is worth noting that a big reason for the expansion is the success of Nano Banana, which has increased the usage of the Gemini app. In fact, Gemini recently passed OpenAI’s ChatGPT to become the most downloaded free app on Apple’s (AAPL) App Store.
