Google AI Ultra costs $139.99 or $279.99 per month in Canada before tax, depending on tier, and it is the only plan that unlocks Project Genie, Google’s playable AI worlds built on the new Genie 4 model. The full Canadian lineup runs from $6.99 for AI Plus to $26.99 for AI Pro, and Google supports the country in both English and French. But the price alone tells you nothing about value, because what each tier includes has changed dramatically this year, and a surprising number of headline features are still US-only.
Our team went through Google’s Canadian plans page line by line so you do not have to. Here is every tier in CAD, what each actually unlocks, and our honest read on who should pay for what.

A few lines deserve explanation. Gemini 4 Argon is Google’s frontier reasoning model, and it arrives at the Pro tier, not just Ultra; what Ultra buys is headroom (5x or 20x the usage limits) across the Gemini app, Search AI Mode, Antigravity and AI Studio. Project Genie, the playable worlds built on the new Genie 4 model, is Ultra-exclusive across both tiers. And the YouTube Premium bundled with Ultra is the full individual plan, not the Lite version Pro subscribers get.
The US-only list Canadians should know
Google’s own plans page marks several features as US-only, and they are worth knowing before you subscribe from Canada:
- Asking Gmail’s inbox for an AI Overview
- Personal Intelligence early access in Search AI Mode
- Google Photos extras like Remix generations and Veo 3 photo-to-video
- AI-powered calling for local businesses
- Certain Gemini agent features
Is Google AI Ultra worth it in Canada?
Run the stack math on Ultra 5x at $139.99: full YouTube Premium (about $14 a month on its own), 20 TB of storage (Google One prices that tier north of $100 on its own), US$40 in monthly cloud credits for developers, and Genie access that no other tier offers. If you would pay for two of those things anyway, the subscription starts making sense. Ultra 20x at $279.99 is for people who hit usage ceilings, run agents all day or need the 30 TB; for almost everyone else, 5x is the rational pick.
For most Canadians, our honest ranking is this: AI Pro at $26.99 is the sweet spot for Gemini 4 Argon, Veo and 5 TB. Ultra is only worth the jump if Project Genie’s playable worlds (or the usage headroom) genuinely matter to you, and if you want our full reasoning on the Genie side, read Project Genie and the Street View worlds. Students should check for Google’s AI Pro student promotions before paying anything, and it is worth knowing how far the free Gemini tier goes first: the Minecraft run shows what Argon agents can do, but casual chat rarely needs a subscription.
