App Code Points to Google 'AI Ultra Lite' Tier and Usage Tracker for Gemini

Overview

• Google’s Gemini macOS app, which 9to5Google examined Tuesday, includes references to an in-between plan codenamed “Neon” and tentatively labeled “Google AI Ultra Lite.”
• The new tier would sit between the $20 AI Pro and $250 AI Ultra plans, filling a gap for heavier users who outgrow Pro but do not want Ultra pricing.
• No price or launch date is official, though coverage notes the market context points to a likely $50–$150 range with $100 as a common rival price point.
• Strings in the same app show a not-yet-live usage page at gemini.google.com/usage that would display five-hour limits, weekly budgets, and overage credits so people can see remaining token headroom.
• Reporting based on code indicates the tier’s main change is higher usage caps rather than new exclusive features, which could help people running long coding or agent sessions avoid sudden throttling.
