Gemini review

Gemini's paid entry point is the Google AI Plus plan at EUR 4.99/mo · Google AI Plus. The condition attached to that figure: per person/month; the paid tiers are Google One storage plans with Gemini limits attached, not a standalone assistant subscription. We read this from the vendor's official pricing page on 2026-08-08. AI pricing changes often — confirm before subscribing.

Yes. Gemini offers a permanent free plan rather than a time-limited trial, so you can test it on real work before paying.

On our reading, Gemini is a poor fit for teams that have standardised on Microsoft 365; anyone who wants the assistant separate from their storage and email. Its documented limitations are: Paid tiers bundle storage you may not need; Plan names and limits change often, and the tiers are hard to compare; Weakest fit if your work already lives in Microsoft 365.

Gemini fits anyone already working in Gmail and Google Docs, freelancers on Android, small teams on Google Workspace most closely. Its main use cases are drafting in Gmail and Docs, research and summarising, image and data tasks, and setup difficulty is rated easy.

Our evidence level for Gemini is "official documentation reviewed", which means we read the vendor's own documentation and pricing page for this review cycle, but did not run the product hands-on. We never describe a tool as tested unless a documented workflow, result and date support it.
