Gemini CLI pricing in 2026: what the plans page shows and what it leaves out
Wählen Sie Gemini CLI, wenn Sie einen quelloffenen Terminal-Agenten für Gemini möchten, den Sie per API-Schlüssel, Vertex AI oder bezahltem Google-Tarif authentifizieren können; beachten Sie aber, dass Nutzer ohne Bezahltarif und Google-One-Nutzer zur Antigravity CLI umgezogen wurden.

Gemini CLI plans and what they include
Gemini CLI is open source under Apache 2.0, so the cost sits in how you sign in. The plans page lists Free (Google account) at $0, Google AI Pro, Google AI Ultra and the Google Developer Program, plus two usage-based routes: an AI Studio API key billed pay as you go and Vertex AI billed through Google Cloud. The plans page shows no USD price for Pro, Ultra or the Developer Program, so we cannot quote a monthly figure for them.
The free route comes with a warning. The site says unpaid-tier and Google One users were moved to Antigravity CLI on June 18, 2026, so check that the free Google account login still works for you. Paid Google plans and API billing are the documented ways to higher limits. API-key and Vertex AI usage bills separately, and free-tier API data may be used to improve Google products.

Costs that are easy to miss
API billing through AI Studio or Vertex AI is separate from any Google plan, and the plans page gives no USD rates.
Google AI Pro, Google AI Ultra and the Google Developer Program show no USD price on the plans page.
Free-tier API data may be used to improve Google products; paid usage avoids this.
Free-tier availability is uncertain after the June 18, 2026 move of unpaid and Google One users to Antigravity CLI.

Vertex AI, which lists regional data residency, enterprise security and compliance, and an SLA. The Google Developer Program is listed for teams, with Gemini Code Assist and monthly cloud credits, but shows no USD price.
