What Is Google One? A Breakdown of Plans, Pricing, and Included Services

In the unlikely event that 2 terabytes is not enough, you can increase your storage. The option to upgrade to an even larger plan is available only for current subscribers and in select countries.

• 5-TB Plan: For $25 per month or $250 per year (£20 or £200 in the UK), you get 5 TB with family sharing and the same perks as the Premium Plan.
• 10-TB Plan: For $50 per month (no annual plan) (£40 in the UK), you get 10 TB with family sharing and the same perks as the 5-TB plan.

Google One Benefits

The main benefit of a Google One plan is the extra cloud storage you can share with up to five family members. While families can share the same space, personal photos and files are accessible only to each owner unless you specifically choose to share them. Everyone in the family can also share the additional benefits (provided you all live in the same country). Let’s take a closer look at those benefits:

Unlimited Magic Editor Saves in Google Photos

Magic Editor enables you to delete unwanted people or objects from the background of your photos, tweak the look of the sky, change the position of people and objects, and more with the help of generative AI. All features work with eligible shots in your Google Photos app. Without a subscription, you are limited to 10 saves per month. These features are available on Google Pixel phones, even if you don’t subscribe to Google One.

Cash Back on Purchases

The 2-TB plan nets you 10 percent back in Google Store credit for any purchases. This could prove useful if you’re thinking about buying multiple Google devices. The credit can take up to one month to get after your purchase, and it will have an expiry date attached.

Google Workspace Premium

The Premium plan includes Google Workspace Premium, which gives you enhanced features in Google Meet and Google Calendar. For example, you can have longer meetings with background noise cancellation or create a professional booking page to enable other people to make appointments with you.

Gemini Pro

Offering access to Google’s “most capable AI models,” Gemini Pro offers help with logical reasoning, coding, creative collaboration, and more. You can also create eight-second videos from text prompts using Veo 2, access more features like Deep Research for your projects, and upload 1,500 pages of research, textbooks, or industry reports with a 1 million token context window for analysis.

Flow Pro

This AI filmmaking tool employs Google’s AI video model, Veo, to enable you to generate stories, craft a cohesive narrative, find a consistent voice, and realize your imagination on the screen. You get 1,000 monthly AI credits to generate videos across Flow and Whisk.

Whisk Pro

You can use Whisk to turn still images into eight-second video clips using the Veo 2 model. You get 1,000 monthly AI credits to generate videos across Flow and Whisk.

NotebookLM Pro

This offers more audio overviews, notebooks, and sources per notebook to make information more digestible, allows you to customize the tone and style of your notebooks, and enables you to share and collaborate on notebooks with family and friends.

Gemini in Gmail, Docs, Vids & More

In Gmail and Docs, Gemini can help you write invites, resumes, and more, helping you brainstorm ideas, strike the right tone, and polish your missives. Gemini can also create relevant imagery for presentations in Slides, enhance the quality of video calls in Meet, and produce video clips based on your text prompts.

Project Mariner

This agentic research prototype is in early access and only part of the AI Ultra plan for now. Google says it can assist in managing up to 10 tasks simultaneously, handling things like research, bookings, and purchases from a single dashboard.

Gemini in Chrome

AI Ultra subscribers get early access to Gemini in the Chrome browser, which can understand the context of the current webpage, summarize and explain, or even complete tasks and fill out forms for you.

YouTube Premium

Subscribers get access to Google’s music streaming service, YouTube videos are ad-free, and you can save videos for offline viewing, among other YouTube Premium perks. Included as part of the AI Ultra plan, this perk is for an individual YouTube Premium plan.

Nest Aware

Only included in the UK so far, a Nest Aware subscription that includes extended storage of video from home security cameras is now part of the 2-TB Premium plan and above, starting from £8 per month or £80 per year. Considering Nest Aware costs £6 per month or £60 per year on its own, this seems like a great deal.

Fitbit Premium

Again, only included in the UK so far, Fitbit Premium is now included as part of the 2-TB Premium plan and above, starting from £8 per month or £80 per year. Considering that Fitbit Premium currently costs £8 per month or £80 per year on its own in the UK, this deal is too good to pass up.

Extra Benefits

A couple of things fall into this category:

• Google Play Credits: You will occasionally get credits to redeem in the Play Store for books, movies, apps, or games. The amount and frequency vary.
• Discounts, Trials, and Other Perks: You may get offers for discounted Google services or hardware, extended free trials of Google services, and other perks (for example, Google offered everyone upgrading to a 2-TB plan a free Nest Mini). These offers pop up and disappear seemingly at random.
