- At the limit
- Bills for extra usage
- Billed per million tokens, with input and output priced separately. Output prices include thinking tokens, so reasoning-heavy replies cost more than the visible text suggests.
- Prices shown are the standard tier. Cached input is cheaper, and Batch and Flex requests are half the standard price on the Flash models.
- A free tier exists for Gemini 3.8 Flash, 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite. It is not available for Gemini 3.1 Pro or Gemini 4 Argon. Google does not publish the free tier's request limits: the rate limits page says they are shown only in Google AI Studio (https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits), so the free tier is not listed as a plan here.
- The pricing page says free-tier content is used to improve Google's products. Paid-tier content is not used that way (https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing).
- Grounding with Google Search: 5,000 free search requests a month, shared across Gemini 3 and newer models, then $14 per 1,000 requests.
- Several prices step up soon (see the price-change badge). Estimates use today's price.
