Google AI Plus vs Pro for NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook)
Checked Nov 11, 2026 against official pricing and help pages. Prices are US unless noted.
If NotebookLM is the main reason you're paying, here's the whole difference between the two cheaper Google AI plans.
THE DECISION IN ONE LINE
if your notebooks fit in 100 sources, Plus is enough for NotebookLM. Pay for Pro when you need more than 100 sources per notebook, the higher usage, or Pro's other extras (the Pro model, 5 TB of storage) [1][3]. The free tier (50 sources, 100 notebooks) may already be enough [1].
| Gemini Notebook | AI Plus ($4.99/month) | AI Pro ($19.99/month) |
|---|---|---|
| Notebooks per user | 200 [1] | 500 [1] |
| Sources per notebook | 100 [1] | 300 [1] |
| Usage limit | 2x standard [2] | 4x standard [2] |
| Price | $4.99 [3] | $19.99 [3] |
