Pricing
Gemini operates across multiple pricing models to serve different audiences. The free Gemini consumer tier offers unlimited usage with standard rate limits, making it ideal for exploration. Gemini Advanced, available at $19.99 monthly through Google One AI Premium, increases daily usage limits and provides early access to new features. For developers and applications, the Gemini API uses per-token pricing: Gemini 3.1 Pro costs $2 per 1 million input tokens and $12 per 1 million output tokens. Gemini 3 Flash provides cost optimization at $0.50 per 1 million input tokens and $3.00 per 1 million output tokens. Batch processing APIs reduce costs by up to 50% for non-real-time workloads. Enterprise deployments through Vertex AI on Google Cloud include managed infrastructure, advanced model monitoring, and enterprise support, though pricing requires direct negotiation. FedRAMP High authorization enables government deployments. Model Optimizer routes requests to the most cost-effective model variant meeting latency and quality thresholds, reducing enterprise expenditure automatically.
