Google AI Plus drops, taking a swing at ad-powered rivals.

Google woke up and chose violence.

Yesterday they rolled out Google AI Plus to 35 new regions. For roughly $8 a month (US pricing), you are getting the keys to the kingdom: Gemini 3 Pro, Nano Banana Pro, Flow and more.

The real kicker here is the user experience. While ChatGPT Go forces ads into your experience, Google is keeping theirs clean. They are tossing in 200GB of storage and family sharing for five people to sweeten the deal. If you are already on the 2TB Premium plan, you get upgraded automatically without lifting a finger.

Key takeaways

• Global Rollout: Now available in 35 new locations including the US.
• The Gear: Access to Gemini 3 Pro, Nano Banana Pro and NotebookLM tools.
• Ad-Free: A clear differentiator from the ad-supported ChatGPT Go model.
• Family Perks: Shareable with up to five others plus 200GB cloud storage.
• The Damage: $7.99 USD monthly with a half-price intro offer for new sign-ups.

It looks like the ad-free tiered war has truly begun 🥊
