Google is now offering its Gemini AI tools for free to all Workspace Business and Enterprise subscribers, removing the Rs 1,500 monthly fee. However, to accommodate these new features, Google has raised its subscription rates.

There is a catch, though: as it makes this change, Google is increasing the price of all Workspace plans. Jerry Dischler, Google’s president of cloud applications, tells me companies will pay roughly $2 more per month per user for the AI-enabled Workspace than they were paying before.

Google stated in the early hours of Wednesday that all AI features in Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Meet are now free of charge for Workspace customers, though the plan will cost an additional $2 per month per person.
