Is Gemini Notebook free for students?
Last verified: October 27, 2026
Yes. Gemini Notebook is free for anyone with an eligible Google account. As of October 2026 Google also offers students a free year of a paid plan: eligible US college students get Google AI Pro, which has 4x standard notebook limits, and students elsewhere get Google AI Plus. Redeem by 31 December 2026.
In more detail
The free tier covers core Gemini Notebook features under the standard compute-based limits. Google's 2026 student offer raises those limits for a year: US college students aged 18+ verify enrollment through SheerID at one.google.com/ai-student and get Google AI Pro; students in other countries get Google AI Plus (2x standard limits). A payment method is required and the plan renews at the normal price after the free year unless you cancel. Use only Google's official page; offer-wall sites are scams. Notebook Toolkit's free plan works with any Google tier for capturing lecture sources, YouTube and AI chats.
