Verified secondary · source: one.google.com
gemini.google.com/pricing itself 404s; Google's own plans page at one.google.com/about/google-ai-plans/ returns HTTP 200 with real server-rendered HTML; Page names the paid tiers 'Google AI Pro' and 'Google AI Ultra' in plain HTML text, with numeric price figures present in the markup. 2026-08-19 facts pass: the entry tier is actually the cheaper 'Google AI Plus' subscription (same one that gates NotebookLM Plus, see the notebooklm entry), confirmed at $4.99/month via a localized one.google.com/about/plans fetch (HUF 3,590/mo converted), not the USD page directly, so treat the exact USD figure as secondary pending a US-region fetch. 2026-08-21: corrected the top-line pricing field, which still read the pre-correction 'Advanced from $20/mo' figure and had never been synced to the 08-19 facts correction. 2026-09-24: confidence set to secondary because the USD entry figure was converted from a localized page, not read from the US page.
