Google’s AI Plus Subscription Goes Global - 40 New Markets Added
Google just flipped the switch on its AI Plus subscription service—expanding access to 40 additional countries overnight.
Strategic Expansion
The tech giant's premium AI tools are now hitting markets across Europe, Asia, and Latin America. This isn't just about territory—it's about capturing the global AI infrastructure race while traditional finance still debates whether AI is a 'trend.'

The subscription also includes several other perks. Indeed, users get access to Whisk and Flow, Google’s filmmaking and image creation tools, along with Gemini features that are built into Gmail, Docs, and Sheets. NotebookLM usage limits are also higher for subscribers, and the plan comes with 200 GB of shared storage across Google Photos, Drive, and Gmail. These benefits are designed to appeal to individuals who are interested in creative projects, as well as those who rely on Google’s everyday productivity tools.
Furthermore, Google added that the plan can be shared with up to five family members. Unsurprisingly, pricing varies by country, but in the U.S., it costs $19.99 per month. Some of the new countries include Angola, Bangladesh, Benin, Bolivia, Ukraine, and Vietnam. It is worth noting that a big reason for the expansion is the success of Nano Banana, which has increased the usage of the Gemini app. In fact, Gemini recently passed OpenAI’s ChatGPT to become the most downloaded free app on Apple’s (AAPL) App Store.
Is Google Stock a Good Buy?
Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on GOOGL stock based on 28 Buys and nine Holds assigned in the past three months. Furthermore, the average GOOGL price target of $242.06 per share implies 2.6% downside risk.
