Google Adds AI Tools to Workspace Plans, Increases Subscription Costs

The integration of Gemini AI features into all Workspace tiers comes with a $2 monthly price increase per user.

Google has bundled its Gemini AI tools into all Workspace subscription plans, eliminating the previous $20 monthly add-on fee.
The AI features include email summarization, automated meeting notes, spreadsheet and video design generation, and the Gemini chatbot.
Subscription prices for Workspace have increased by $2 per user per month, with the base plan now costing $14 instead of $12.
Google aims to lower barriers to AI adoption by offering these tools to all users while maintaining competitive pricing in the market.
The move aligns with a broader industry trend, as Microsoft recently included its Copilot AI features in standard Microsoft 365 subscriptions.
