Google AI Pro adds 5TB storage at same price

Google has significantly enhanced its AI Pro subscription, now providing 5TB of cloud storage at the existing $19.99 monthly price. This global update effectively triples the storage previously offered at this tier, delivering a substantial boost in value for users who rely on Google’s ecosystem for Gmail, Drive, and Photos backup. The change is a notable departure from the prior structure, where both the $9.99 and $19.99 plans were capped at 2TB.

While the new storage allocation is now part of the official product marketing, some users may not immediately see the updated total reflected in their account dashboards on one.google.com or the mobile app. The increase solidifies the AI Pro plan as a more compelling mid-tier option within Google’s service lineup. For context, the entry-level AI Plus plan remains at $7.99 per month with 200 GB of storage.

The revised pricing ladder now positions the 5TB AI Pro offering between the basic plan and more expansive, premium tiers. The next available upgrade jumps to 10TB for $49.99 monthly, with 20TB and 30TB plans priced at $99.99 and $149.99, respectively. The top-tier Google AI Ultra subscription, costing $249.99, also provides 30TB of storage.

This strategic storage bump, announced on April 1, carries a faint echo of Google’s historic Gmail launch twenty years prior, which debuted with a then-revolutionary 1GB of free space. Today’s enhancement is less about an April Fools’ prank and more about strengthening the value proposition of the AI Pro service in a competitive market. By offering more capacity without raising the cost, Google makes its professional AI tools and integrated cloud storage a more attractive package for power users and professionals managing large volumes of data.
