Google’s new Pixel lineup includes the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. These are among the most advanced phones right now, and Google is leaving no stone unturned to convert iPhone users. Apart from the new MagSafe-like PixelSnap feature, the company is targeting Apple Intelligence’s missed opportunity with a free Google AI Pro plan to sway Apple fans.

Google is offering its AI Pro plan, worth $240, for free to users who purchase and activate a Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, or Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Unfortunately, the offer isn’t available for the base Pixel 10 variant.
As a result, if you spend $999 or more on a new Google phone, you are eligible to subscribe to a one-year Google AI Pro plan for free. Samsung offered a similar deal with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and Z Flip 7 FE, but it was a $120 offer, so it was limited to six months.
The Google AI Pro plan bundles enhanced features like access to Gemini 2.5 Pro, Veo 3 for AI-generated videos, 2TB of cloud storage, and previews of upcoming AI tools. It typically costs $20 a month, but Google will cover a year’s worth of membership for free if you buy one of the new Pixel 10 Pro smartphones.
