- You can now pay every year for Google Ai Pro for the first time
- The overall price is the equivalent of obtaining two months for free
- For the moment, Chatgpt does not offer annual subscription options
Good news if you are fully attached to Google Gemini AI, and you like to save money: Google AI Pro subscription can now be purchased each year as well as monthly, and you will save a piece of money if you pay from year to year.
As 9TO5GOOGLE pointed out, you can now pay $ 199.99 for a year of goodness of the AI, instead of the $ 19.99 per existing option – the latter operating at $ 239.88 over 12 months ($ 39.89 more than an annual plan).
In the United Kingdom, your options are £ 18.99 per month or £ 189.99 per year (saving you £ 37.89). It is not immediately clear if the agreement is the same in Australia, but there the monthly costs are $ 32.99 at – Do you presumptile at $ 329.99 in per year (save $ 65.89 in). Essentially, you get two months for free if you pay a year in advance.
Of course, the disadvantage of annual plans is that you are committed for a full year, so you cannot withdraw when you wish – that is why you will often see annual plans available for less, in all places where you register for a subscription.
How does Chatgpt compare?
Chatgpt Plus remains at $ 20 / £ 20 per month ($ 30.58 at current rates). There is no option to pay each year yet, and you can also install $ 200 £ 200 (around $ 306 in) per month for the high -level Chatgpt Pro plan, with fewer limits and more features.
For comparison purposes, Google’s super-offilled level is Google AI Ultra, and this will cost you $ 249.99 / £ 234.99 $ 409.99 per month. At the time of writing the writing moment, there is no option to pay each year (maybe understandable), although you get the first three months at half price if you want to try it.
All this means that there is not too many choices between the monthly costs of Gemini and Chatgpt, with regard to the cheaper plans to which most people will register – but if you want to pay each year and save, it is only possible on the Google service.
We will have to wait and see if Chatgpt responds with an annual plan that is its own. It should also be mentioned that you can use Gemini and Chatgpt for free, but with a limited set of features and more restrictions on your use.
