Gemini Spark just escaped Google’s most expensive subscription tier. Google now offers its agentic AI assistant to every Google AI Pro subscriber in the US, according to the company’s availability page. Until now, the agent required a Google AI Ultra plan, and those start at $100 a month. As a result, the price of entry just dropped to $20.
Gemini Spark’s Price of Entry Drops to $20
Google confirmed the expansion in a post on its official Gemini account. In addition, Google AI Ultra subscribers in more countries and languages now get access. However, readers in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, the UK, and Nigeria still miss out. Google says Pro members in other countries will follow soon, though the company has not shared a timeline.
What Spark Actually Does
Spark debuted at Google I/O in May 2026 as a beta perk for Ultra members. The agent runs on Gemini 3.5 and lives in the cloud, so tasks keep moving after you lock your phone. For example, it can watch your inbox and calendar, draft replies, and turn meeting notes into finished reports. It also edits Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and it connects to apps such as Canva, Dropbox, Google Keep, and Google Tasks.
Google has pushed the assistant well beyond the phone, too. Recent updates added a macOS app that organizes desktop files and builds spreadsheets from local documents. Meanwhile, Spark can track topics across news, shopping, and sports, then alert you when something changes. Samsung leans on the same ecosystem, since Gemini Notebook now ships on the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Flip8.
The Fine Print Still Matters
Spark keeps some real limits. You need a personal Google account, you must be 18 or older, and the Keep Activity setting has to stay on. Furthermore, the Pro version only works in English in the US for now. Google also caps usage at 50 active schedules and 15 tasks running at once. Work and school accounts sit outside the rollout for the moment.
Still, this move marks the cheapest way yet to hand Google’s agent a real to-do list. Agentic assistants have raced from demo to daily driver in 2026, and autonomy at this scale raises fair questions about what an agent can touch. That concern is why tools like 1Password’s agent login for Claude exist. Google clearly wants Spark in more hands before rivals catch up.
