Editorial Review

Gemini is the right default when a team already lives in Google Workspace. The free app is genuinely useful; Google AI Pro at $19.99/mo is the plan most professionals want (4× free usage, 5 TB of storage, Gemini in Gmail/Docs, Jules, and entry Antigravity limits). AI Plus at $4.99 is a lighter step-up. Ultra starts at $99.99/mo for 5× Pro usage and $199.99/mo for 20×, with Deep Think, Gemini Spark, and the highest Flow / Antigravity limits. Older 2024–2025 plan names are retired; buy Google AI Pro or Ultra. Strengths are Search grounding, Workspace context, and the 1M-token window. Creative writing and agentic coding still trail Claude and the GPT-5.6/Codex stack for many power users; pick Gemini when the Google ecosystem is the point, not despite it.
