Starting today, Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers will receive increased usage limits in Google AI Studio. This update also includes access to the Nano Banana Pro and Gemini Pro models, giving developers more versatility right out of the box. Subscribers can now go from an initial idea to a working application in minutes and at a predictable cost.
For builders who have maxed out their free tier, a Google AI plan now serves as a low-cost billing bridge. While pay-per-request API keys remain the standard for product launches, these subscriber benefits provide an easy entry point for developers who want to experiment and prototype deeper with AI Studio. When you’re ready to get started, transitioning to an API setup is seamless in AI Studio.
These benefits are now available to all AI Pro and Ultra subscribers. Sign in with your linked account to start building today.
