From PC Mag: Google's I/O announcements included updates to its monthly storage and AI subscription plans, as well as a new perk: YouTube Premium.
The $19.99-per-month Google AI Pro comes with 5TB of storage, expanded Gemini usage credits, and now, a YouTube Premium Lite subscription. There's also Google Home Premium Standard, the new name for Nest Aware, and Google Health Premium, which launches on May 26.
If you opt for Google's new AI Ultra 5x package, you get 20TB of storage for $99.99 a month, and YouTube Premium in full. The video streamer is also included in the top-tier Google AI Ultra 20x plan, which comes with 30TB of storage and much more expansive AI usage for $199.99. That’s a lot to pay for AI access, but it's a price cut from $250 per month as Google tries to stay competitive with its rivals like Anthropic and OpenAI.
YouTube Premium has thus far remained a separate subscription, but bringing it into the top-tier Google One plans makes a lot of sense. None offers the YouTube Premium Family plan, though, so you need to pay more to share access.
