Choosing a Gemini Plan: Workspace Edition, AI Expanded Access, or Gemini Enterprise

Look forBusiness Starter costs US$7 per user per month on an annual commitment. It includes Gemini in Gmail, basic Pro model access, a 32,000-token context, and 5 Deep Research reports a month. It has no Gemini in Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Meet, or Chat.

Look forBusiness Standard costs US$14 and Business Plus US$22 per user per month with a yearly commitment, and Standard costs US$16.80 on the Flexible Plan. Both allow up to 25 Pro prompts per 4 hours, 300 Thinking prompts a day, a 1 million token context, and 20 Deep Research reports a day. Business plans cap at 300 users.

Look forAI Expanded Access is an add-on for Business Standard and Plus and Enterprise Standard and Plus. In the Gemini app it raises the daily limits, for example to 200 Argon prompts, 600 Thinking prompts, and 30 Deep Research reports a day. Sheets AI function calls rise from 5,000 to 25,000 a month. Google publishes no list price, because the price depends on your currency and subscription term. Bought online, it bills on the Flexible Plan. Since April 2026, Business edition users in the US and Canada can buy it themselves, so decide whether admins allow that. Check Gemini reports first. One admin found none of 600 heavy users at their limits.

Look forGemini Enterprise is a separate license. The Business edition starts at US$21 per seat per month. Standard and Plus, sold through Google Cloud, add higher quotas, data residency, and customer-managed encryption keys. Since September 17, 2026, Standard and Plus subscriptions bought or renewed online no longer include Gemini Code Assist features. Since October 9, 2026, Google sells no new Code Assist subscriptions at all. Google points developers to Antigravity, available through eligible Gemini Enterprise subscriptions.

Look forThe Flexible Plan lets you add and remove licenses monthly. The Annual/Fixed-Term Plan has the lowest price per user, but you can reduce licenses only at renewal.
