How to get free Google AI Pro for an entire year - and save $240: 3 ways
Google is offering its premium AI subscription plan for free. It usually costs $20 a month - and comes with many benefits.
Google is currently offering some users a free AI Pro subscription, which can save them $240 per year. There are three ways to obtain this free subscription. First, college students enrolled in higher education institutions in supported countries or regions can receive one year of AI Pro for free. They need to be 16 years or older, have a personal Google account and Google Pay account, and verify their student status through SheerID.
Second, when purchasing new Google hardware, users can obtain a free AI Pro subscription. This includes the Chromebook Plus (12 months), a standard Chromebook (3 months), or a Pixel 11 (6 months). The most affordable option is the Acer 515 Chromebook Plus at $420, offering good value considering the AI Pro subscription costs $240 alone.
Lastly, family members can benefit from this offer indirectly. Up to five family members of someone with a Google AI Pro membership can access certain AI Pro benefits and features for free or at a discounted rate, such as AI usage, 5TB cloud storage, Google Health Premium, YouTube Premium Lite, and Workspace integration.
