Written on 6 November 2026. Pricing and versions: official pages read that day, to be checked before you decide.
My starting point
I use it at work and personally, through Google Workspace, because the limits are higher there.
What it does well
- Fits into Google Workspace: the plans page mentions Gmail, Docs, Drive and NotebookLM depending on the plan. For an organization already on Workspace, that is its strength.
- A large context: the page states a one-million-token window for the Pro plan, useful for long documents.
- A free way in with a Google account.
Where I stay wary
- Names and tiers change (Plus, Pro, Ultra at two levels): what “Pro” contains is not what it contained six months ago.
- Limits are expressed as multiples of the free plan (2 times, 4 times) and reset every five hours up to a weekly cap: hard to know in advance what you will get.
- Like every assistant, it can make up a command: check.
What I do with it: tidy up meeting notes in Google Docs, and get help with Google Sheets formulas.
IT use cases
| Need | What I ask it | What I check |
|---|---|---|
| Google Workspace | A GAM command or an administration rule | The command in the GAM wiki, on a test |
| Documentation | Summarize a long procedure document | The figures and names it repeats |
| Explain an anonymized message header | The header in the analyzer |
Privacy and GDPR
- Do not paste personal data, secrets or message contents into the consumer plan.
- In a company Google Workspace, the admin console decides who can use what: check the settings and the terms that apply to your domain before opening access to the team.
- Anonymize before pasting.
Pricing and versions (Google’s French page read on 6 November 2026)
| Plan | Price per month | What the page says |
|---|---|---|
| Free | €0 | Flash-Lite model, 15 GB of storage |
| Google AI Plus | €4.99 | Limits doubled versus free, 400 GB of storage |

The page names the “Gemini 4 Argon” model in the paid plans. These names will change: check the page before you decide.
How I use it
I use Gemini with Google Workspace Business Standard (€13.60 excl. VAT per month). It is on by default there; with Business Starter licences, it is less present across the Google suite.
What to do
- If you are on Workspace, try it first where your data already is.
- Compare plans on the French page, in euros.
- Anonymize what you paste.
- Have the person who administers the domain approve opening it to the team.
