Gemini Code Assist cost in 2026: what teams actually pay
Google’s Gemini Code Assist is $22.80 per user per month for Standard ($19 on an annual commitment) and $54 for Enterprise ($45 annual). The free individual tier stops serving requests on June 18, 2026, so teams whose developers relied on it now have to choose a paid seat — and avoid double-paying alongside the Gemini assistant already bundled into Google Workspace plans.

Where teams waste money on Gemini Code Assist
- The free individual tier stops serving on June 18, 2026. Developers quietly relying on it will lose assistance mid-sprint unless the team decides on Standard seats (or an alternative) before the cutoff.
- Enterprise costs 2.4× Standard. It exists for code customization from private repos and Google Cloud integrations — seats for developers who use neither are $26–$31/month of pure waste.
- Annual commitment pricing is about 17% cheaper ($19 vs $22.80, $45 vs $54) — monthly billing only makes sense while you are still evaluating.
- Gemini is already bundled into Google Workspace Business Standard/Plus and Enterprise plans. Teams buying separate AI-chat subscriptions may already own that capability — check Workspace before adding seats elsewhere.
- Licenses assigned in the Google Cloud admin console keep billing whether or not the developer ever installed the IDE extension — the assigned-versus-active gap is the first thing to audit.

Gemini Code Assist cost FAQ
How much does Gemini Code Assist cost per user?
Gemini Code Assist Standard costs $22.80 per user per month, or $19 per user per month with an annual commitment. Enterprise costs $54 per user per month, or $45 with an annual commitment.
Is Gemini Code Assist still free for individuals?
Not after June 18, 2026 — Google announced that Gemini Code Assist IDE extensions and the Gemini CLI will stop serving requests for the individual (unpaid), Google AI Pro, and Google AI Ultra tiers on that date. Google points unpaid users to Antigravity’s individual plan instead.
What is the difference between Gemini Code Assist Standard and Enterprise?
Both include completions, chat, and agent features in IDEs and the Gemini CLI. Enterprise adds code customization grounded in your private repositories and deeper Google Cloud integrations. If a developer doesn’t need those, Standard at $19–$22.80 covers them.
Is Gemini Code Assist the same as Gemini in Google Workspace?
No — they are separate products with separate licensing. The Workspace Gemini assistant (Gmail, Docs, Meet) has been bundled into Business Standard/Plus and Enterprise plans since early 2025. Gemini Code Assist is the developer tool and is licensed per seat through Google Cloud.
How do I find wasted Gemini Code Assist seats?
Compare licenses assigned in the Google Cloud admin console against developers actually using the IDE extension or CLI each month, and check whether Enterprise seats map to users who need customization or Cloud integrations. A DevSpend AI workspace tracks both gaps in dollars alongside your other AI tools.
