How to buy Google AI products now that Pro and Ultra are unavailable to us?
Google IO introduced many exciting features. Everything will be first available to "AI Pro" and "AI Ultra" customers.
Apparently Google Workspace users are 2nd-class citizens: not only those features are not available, but we are not even allowed to purchase "AI Pro" or "AI Ultra" plans any more.
Trying to research, I bumped to announcement: "The Ultra AI Access add-on is no longer available for purchase and will be removed from Workspace accounts starting on July 7, 2026."
And it guides "Consider subscribing to Gemini Enterprise to continue using Gemini Code Assist and Gemini CLI." And that I might also need "AI Expanded Access".
If I understood correctly, "AI Expanded Access" is not giving access to the new features introduced at Google IO.
And to buy "AI Expanded Access", I would need to upgrade to one of these:
- Google Workspace Business Standard
- Google Workspace Business Plus
- Google Workspace Enterprise Standard
- Google Workspace Enterprise Plus
But the only "Gemini Enterprise" tier available on their website is called "Gemini Enterprise Business Edition" (not on the list) unless I have IT department.
And to make things even more confusing, Google Antigravity says "This account isn't eligible for Google Antigravity benefits included with Google AI plans" and guides "Google Cloud customers can now access Antigravity 2.0 and CLI with Gemini Enterprise Platform".
AI agents suggest just buying another personal account for AI Ultra, but that would not have access to my workspace; and thus would miss half of the benefits.
Has anyone figured out how to purchase AI features from Google?
