Google announced Wednesday that all AI features in Gmail, Docs, Sheets and Meet are now available to Workspace customers at no extra charge, though the plan will see a $2 per month per user increase.
This change simplifies access to Workplace AI tools, including email summaries, automatic note-taking, chat with the Gemini bot, and more. Previously, customers who wanted to use all AI features had to pay an additional $20 per user per month for the Gemini for Workplace plan over the $12 for the Standard Workplace Business plan. Now, the standard plan is $14 per user per month.
The new pricing is effective immediately for new customers, and existing customers will see changes starting March 17, 2025. Small business customers are exempt from these price changes at this time.
Customers who previously purchased the Gemini for Workspace add-on will continue to have access to the features, but will no longer be charged for the subscription after January 31st.
The latest update is part of a competitive push against Microsoft and other companies making the move to integrate AI capabilities into their standard offerings. In November, Microsoft bundled its Copilot Pro AI features with the standard Microsoft 365 subscription.
