- You can now pay annually for Google Ai Pro for the first time
- The total price is equivalent to getting two months free
- Yet do chatgpt does not offer annual subscription options
Good news if you are fully involved in Google Gemini AI and you like to save money: Google AI Pro subscription can now be purchased annually as well as monthly and you save yourself a lot of money if you pay years to year.
As discovered by 9to5Google, you can now pay $ 199.99 for a year of AI good instead of the existing option of $ 19.99 a month – with the latter working as $ 239.88 over the 12 months ($ 39.89 more than an annual plan).
In the UK, your options are £ 18.99 a month or £ 189.99 a year (saves you £ 37.89). It is not immediately clear if the agreement is the same in Australia, but there is the monthly fee au $ 32.99 – so presumably you would look at AU $ 329.99 a year (save AU $ 65.89). Essentially, you get two months free if you pay for a year in advance.
Of course, the disadvantage of annual plans is that you are engaged for a whole year, so you cannot opt out when you want – which is why you often see annual plans available for less in general, in all the places where you sign up for a subscription.
How does chatgpt compare?
Chatgpt Plus remains at $ 20 / £ 20 per Month (AU $ 30.58 at current rates). There is no option to pay annually yet, and you can also create $ 200 / £ 200 (approx. AU $ 306) per day. Month for the top-tier chatgpt pro plan with fewer limits and more features.
For comparison purposes, Google’s own super-charged, Pro-level plan is Google AI Ultra, and that will set you back $ 249.99 / £ 234.99 / AU $ 409.99 per Month. At the time of writing, there is no opportunity to pay annually (maybe understandably), even if you get the first three months at half price if you want to try it.
All of this means that there is not too much to choose between the monthly costs of Gemini and Chatgpt when it comes to the cheaper plans that most people will sign up for – but if you want to pay annually and save, it is only possible on the Google service.
We will have to wait and see if Chatgpt responds with an annual plan for himself. It is also worth mentioning that you can use both Gemini and Chatgpt for free, but with a limited set of features and more restrictions on your use.
