If you have been holding off on trying Google’s most capable AI models because of the premium price tag, now is the time to jump in. Google One has quietly enabled a massive discount for the AI Pro plan in Kenya, dropping the price from the usual KES 3,700 per month to KES 0 for the first month.
This limited-time offer represents a 100% discount, designed to give users a risk-free way to test drive the entire suite of Google’s top-tier AI features before committing to a subscription.
A push for adoption in Africa
Google has been aggressive with its AI rollout in the region. Back in September, the company expanded its AI Plus tier to Africa with an introductory offer of KES 500/month (instead of KES 900), while the Ultra plan saw a price adjustment to KES 23,000. However, the AI Pro plan remained steady at the KES 3,700 price point.
While the AI Plus and AI Ultra plans remain unchanged in this latest round of updates, the Google AI Pro plan’s free month follows a generous initiative from October, where university students in Kenya (and five other African nations) were granted 12 months of AI Pro at no cost.
Now, the general public can finally see what the hype is about, but for a more limited time.
What you get with Google AI Pro
The AI Pro plan is not just about a smarter chatbot; it is a comprehensive suite for creatives, developers, and power users. Here is what the KES 0 offer unlocks:
The Best of Gemini
- Model access: Full access to Gemini 3 Pro, Google’s most capable model.
- Deep research: Enhanced research capabilities powered by 3 Pro.
- Next-gen media: Image generation via Nano Banana Pro and video generation limits unlocked for Veo 3.1.
Creative Tools (Flow & Whisk)
- Flow: Higher access to Google’s AI filmmaking tool to create cinematic scenes using Veo 3.1.
- Whisk: Advanced image-to-video creation powered by Veo 3.
- Credits: You get 1,000 monthly AI credits to burn across Flow and Whisk.
For Developers
This is perhaps the most significant value addition for the tech-savvy demographic in Kenya:
- Gemini Code Assist & CLI: Higher daily limits across Flash and Pro models within your IDE and CLI.
- Google Antigravity: Higher rate limits for the agent model in Google’s agentic development platform.
- Jules: Increased limits for using Jules, the asynchronous coding agent designed to streamline software development.
Productivity & Storage
- NotebookLM: Higher access to Audio & Video Overviews and Quizzes.
- Workspace Integration: Gemini embedded directly into Gmail, Docs, Vids, and more.
- Storage: The plan includes the standard 2 TB of storage shareable across Google Photos, Drive, and Gmail.
For KES 3,700 per month, the Google AI Pro plan is a serious investment for most Kenyans. However, at KES 0, it is a no-brainer. Google is clearly betting that once users experience the workflow improvements from Jules or the creative power of Veo 3.1, they won’t want to go back to the free tier.
If you have wanted to test if AI can actually replace parts of your coding workflow or content creation process, grab the offer now before it expires. You can cancel anytime if you decide the KES 3,700 renewal fee isn’t for you.
