Gemini Code Assist Pricing: Standard and Enterprise Cost per User
Google does not print a monthly price for this product. It prints a license fee per hour, to nine decimal places, and leaves you to do the multiplication. Here it is done, along with the reason your invoice is a different size every month.

The short answer
Gemini Code Assist Standard costs $19 per user per month on a 12-month commitment and $22.80 on a monthly commitment, and Enterprise costs $45 and $54 on the same two terms. None of those four numbers appear on Google's pricing page. Google publishes the license only as an hourly rate to nine decimal places, $0.026027397 an hour for Standard on an annual commit, and you have to multiply by 8,760 hours to reach $228 a year. Because the meter runs hourly, the invoice moves with month length: that same Standard seat bills $19.36 in a 31-day month and $17.49 in February. There is no longer a free tier to fall back on, because Google stopped serving the individuals, AI Pro and AI Ultra tiers on 18 June 2026.
Gemini Code Assist pricing, edition by edition
The hourly column is copied from Google's pricing page exactly as it appears there. The monthly and yearly columns are ours, the hourly rate multiplied by 8,760 hours and divided by twelve. They come out to the cent, which tells you Google started from the round annual number and divided.

| Edition and term | Google's published rate | Per user, per month | Per user, per year | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard, 12-month commitment | $0.026027397 / hour | $19.00 | $228.00 | The cheapest way to keep Code Assist in an IDE, and the number almost everyone means by "Gemini Code Assist pricing". You are committing to a year up front and still billed monthly. Covers code completion, generation, chat in the IDE, local codebase awareness, code transformation, agent mode and Gemini CLI. |
| Standard, monthly commitment | $0.031232877 / hour | $22.80 | $273.60 | Identical product, no annual lock-in, exactly 20% more. That premium is $3.80 per developer per month, or $45.60 a year each. On a 25-person team the flexibility costs $1,140 a year. |
| Enterprise, 12-month commitment | $0.061643836 / hour | $45.00 | $540.00 | Adds code customization against your private repositories, Gemini in Apigee, Gemini in Application Integration, Gemini Cloud Assist, and a daily agent cap of 2,000 requests instead of 1,500. It is 2.37 times the Standard price for that list. |
| Enterprise, monthly commitment | $0.073972603 / hour | $54.00 | $648.00 | The same 20% premium for avoiding the year. At $54 a developer this is the most expensive per-seat AI coding assistant any of the major clouds publishes a rate for. |
| Individuals (free tier) | Withdrawn | No longer served | No longer served | Google stopped serving Code Assist IDE Extensions and Gemini CLI requests for the individuals, Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra tiers on 18 June 2026, and directs affected users to Antigravity. There is no free path into Code Assist Standard or Enterprise today. |
Hourly license fees are Google's, read from cloud.google.com/products/gemini/pricing in September 2026. Monthly and yearly figures are our arithmetic on those rates, not prices Google publishes.
Google does not publish a monthly seat price at all
This is the part every article ranking for this search skips, and it is worth being precise about, because it explains why your invoice never matches the number you were quoted.
Open Google's Gemini for Google Cloud pricing page and look for the Code Assist section. What is there is a two-column table headed "License fees (monthly commitment)" and "License fees (12-month commitment)", and the values in it are $0.031232877 and $0.026027397 per hour for Standard, $0.073972603 and $0.061643836 per hour for Enterprise. There is no $19 on that page. There is no $45 either.
Multiply the Standard annual rate by the 8,760 hours in a 365-day year and you get $228.00. Exactly. The monthly-commitment rate gives $273.60, Enterprise annual gives $540.00 and Enterprise monthly gives $648.00. Four nine-decimal numbers that all resolve to clean round annual figures is not a coincidence: Google set an annual price and divided it by the hours in a year, because Code Assist licenses are Google Cloud SKUs and Google Cloud meters SKUs by the hour.
So the $19 figure is real, in the sense that $228 a year divided by twelve is $19. It is just not a price Google charges you in any given month, and it is not a number you will find at the source. Anyone quoting it without that context is repeating a conversion they did not do.
Why your Gemini Code Assist bill changes every month
An hourly license on a monthly invoice has a consequence nobody mentions. A 31-day month is 744 hours, a 30-day month is 720, and February is 672. Same seat, same developer, same work, three different totals.
Swipe to see more
| Plan | Hourly rate | 31-day month | 30-day month | February | Yearly average |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard, annual commit | $0.026027397 | $19.36 | $18.74 | $17.49 | $19.00 |
| Standard, monthly commit | $0.031232877 | $23.24 | $22.49 | $20.99 | $22.80 |
| Enterprise, annual commit | $0.061643836 | $45.86 | $44.38 | $41.42 | $45.00 |
| Enterprise, monthly commit | $0.073972603 | $55.04 | $53.26 | $49.71 | $54.00 |
The swing is about 11% between February and a long month. Per seat that is under two dollars and nobody will lose sleep over it. Across 200 developers it is a line that moves by roughly $370 between months for reasons that have nothing to do with your team, and it is the sort of thing that turns a routine invoice reconciliation into a support ticket. If you are writing an annual figure, use $228 or $540 per seat and ignore the monthly numbers entirely.
Our arithmetic on Google's published hourly rates: rate multiplied by 744, 720 and 672 hours. Google publishes the rate, not these totals.
Gemini Code Assist Standard vs Enterprise: what the extra $26 buys
Enterprise is 2.37 times the Standard price. Read Google's own edition matrix, though, and every feature a developer touches while writing code is on both. The rows below are Google's; the last column is our read on who each one actually matters to.
Swipe to see more
| Feature | Standard $19 | Enterprise $45 | Does it justify the upgrade? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Code completion, code generation, chat in IDE | Included | Included | Identical on both. This is the part most developers use all day, and it is not a reason to upgrade. |
| Local codebase awareness | Included | Included | Both editions read the repository open in your editor. The Enterprise upgrade is about repositories that are not open. |
| Agent mode and Gemini CLI | Included | Included | Both get the agent. Only the daily cap differs, 1,500 combined requests per user per day against 2,000. |
| Enterprise-grade security and gen AI indemnification | Included | Included | Worth knowing before a procurement call. Indemnification for code suggestions is on Standard too, so it is not a reason to buy up. |
| Code customization on private repositories | Not included | Included | The real Enterprise feature. Google augments the model with your private codebases so suggestions follow your patterns rather than generic public code. |
| Gemini in Apigee | Not included | Included | API design and operations assistance. Only relevant if you already run Apigee, which most teams evaluating a coding assistant do not. |
| Gemini in Application Integration | Not included | Included | Integration workflow assistance inside Google Cloud. Same caveat: valuable to existing Google Cloud integration teams, irrelevant to everyone else. |
| Gemini Cloud Assist | Not included | Included | Infrastructure diagnostics, cost optimization and troubleshooting across Google Cloud. This is an ops product bundled into a developer seat. |
Put plainly: the coding assistant is the same on both editions. What Enterprise sells is code customization against your private repositories, which is genuinely valuable if your codebase has strong internal conventions, plus three Google Cloud products bolted onto a developer seat. If you do not run Apigee, do not use Application Integration and do not want an infrastructure diagnostics tool, you are paying $26 a developer a month for one feature.
Gemini Code Assist usage limits by edition
Google publishes daily caps per user, which matters more than it sounds: the agent is the thing teams hit limits on, and it is the only cap the expensive edition raises.
Swipe to see more
| Limit | Standard | Enterprise | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agent mode and Gemini CLI requests, combined | 1,500 per user per day | 2,000 per user per day | The only quota the Enterprise upgrade actually raises, and it raises it by 33% for 2.37 times the price. |
| Code generation and completion requests | 6,000 per user per day | 6,000 per user per day | Same on both editions. Generous enough that most developers will never reach it. |
| Chat and Cloud Assist panel requests | 960 per user per day | 960 per user per day | Also identical. If chat volume is your worry, the upgrade does not solve it. |
| Requests per second, per user | 2 | 2 | A rate limit rather than a budget. Google notes that one prompt can produce several model requests, so the visible prompt count understates consumption. |
Note the shape of that first row. Enterprise costs 137% more and lifts the agent ceiling by 33%. If the reason you are considering the upgrade is that your developers are hitting the agent cap, work out whether 500 extra requests a day actually solves it before you sign a year at $540 a seat.
The fine print Gemini Code Assist buyers find out later
All of this comes from Google's own pages, and almost none of it is in the comparison articles. At least three of these will change how you budget.
-
Google never prints a monthly price, only an hourly one
The pricing page shows "License fees (monthly commitment)" and "License fees (12-month commitment)" as figures per hour, to nine decimal places. There is no $19 and no $45 anywhere on it. Every round monthly number you have read for this product, including the ones on this page, is somebody multiplying $0.026027397 by 8,760 hours. Google does the reverse: it takes a round annual figure and divides it by the hours in a year, which is why the rates have nine decimals and why they annualize to exactly $228.00 and $540.00.
-
The invoice changes size with the calendar
An hourly license on a monthly bill means a 31-day month costs 744 hours and February costs 672. On the Standard annual rate that is $19.36 against $17.49 for the same developer doing the same work, a swing of about 11%. It is small money per seat and it matters when a finance team is reconciling a purchase order against an invoice that never shows the same total twice.
-
Not committing to a year costs exactly 20% more
Divide the monthly-commitment rate by the annual one on either edition and you get 1.2000 exactly. Google charges a flat fifth for flexibility, and it is the same fifth on Standard and Enterprise. On Standard that is $3.80 per developer per month. Worth paying if you genuinely might stop within a year, and pure waste if you were always going to keep it.
-
The free tier is not paused, it is gone
Google's documentation states that on 18 June 2026 the Code Assist IDE Extensions and Gemini CLI stopped serving requests for the Gemini Code Assist for individuals, Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra tiers, and tells affected users to migrate to Antigravity and Antigravity CLI. If your developers were on the free individual tier, there is no downgrade path back. The decision in front of you is buy a Standard seat, move to Antigravity, or move to something else.
-
Google publishes no trial terms on the pricing page
Several round-ups state a 30-day free trial covering up to 50 users. That figure is not on Google's Gemini for Google Cloud pricing page, which carries no Code Assist trial terms at all. We are not repeating a number we could not find at the source. If a trial matters to your evaluation, get it in writing from the sales conversation rather than from a comparison article.
-
Enterprise is largely a Google Cloud bundle, not a better coding assistant
Read Google's own edition matrix and the coding features are identical: completion, generation, chat, local codebase awareness, code transformation, agent mode, the CLI and indemnification are all on Standard. What Enterprise adds is code customization on private repositories plus Apigee, Application Integration and Cloud Assist. Three of those four are Google Cloud products. If you are not deep in Google Cloud, you are paying 2.37 times the price for one feature.
-
It is bought through the Gemini Admin console or sales
Google states you can purchase licenses directly from the Gemini Admin console or connect with sales for a custom quote. That is a Google Cloud purchasing motion with a Google Cloud billing account behind it, not a card on a product website. For a small team without an existing Google Cloud relationship, the buying process is a real part of the cost.
-
Some Cloud Assist features are still preview
Google's own table marks a number of the Gemini Cloud Assist capabilities bundled into Enterprise as Preview, and notes that during the preview period features marked "Included in Code Assist Enterprise" are available at no additional charge. Preview features can change, and the note implies they may not always be free. If part of your Enterprise business case rests on those rows, check their status before you commit to a year.
The free Gemini Code Assist tier stopped working on 18 June 2026
If you are pricing this product now, there is a decent chance this is why.
Google's documentation puts it flatly: "Starting June 18, 2026, Gemini Code Assist IDE Extensions and Gemini CLI stopped serving requests for the Gemini Code Assist for individuals, Google AI Pro, and Google AI Ultra tiers. Affected users should migrate to Antigravity and Antigravity CLI." Not deprecated, not rate-limited. Stopped serving requests.
That converted a large population of free users into people who need a purchase order. Three paths are open. Buy Standard seats at $19 a developer and keep the same IDE experience. Move to Antigravity, the platform Google itself points to, and accept a different tool with its own usage limits. Or treat the forced decision as the moment to ask whether an in-editor assistant is what you wanted in the first place.
Worth separating two things while you are deciding. Autocomplete makes a developer faster at typing code they were going to write. An agent takes a ticket off the board. They are different purchases, they are priced differently for good reason, and the fact that Google bundled a capped agent mode into a per-seat assistant does not mean one seat covers both jobs.
Gemini Code Assist against the other paid AI coding seats
Pricing shape is the useful comparison, not the sticker. Note that Code Assist Standard and Copilot Business are the same price to the cent, which makes the ecosystem question the only one that matters between those two.
Swipe to see more
| Tool | Pricing shape | Entry cost | Repos | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gemini Code Assist Standard | Hourly license, billed monthly | $19 per user, per month, on a 12-month commitment | Any repo in a supported IDE | Teams already on Google Cloud who want AI in VS Code and IntelliJ with indemnification, and can live with buying through a cloud billing account. |
| Gemini Code Assist Enterprise | Hourly license, billed monthly | $45 per user, per month, on a 12-month commitment | Any repo in a supported IDE | Large Google Cloud shops that will genuinely use code customization on private repositories plus Apigee and Application Integration. A narrow group. |
| GitHub Copilot Business | Seat, plus a credit meter for agent work | $19 per user, per month | GitHub only | GitHub shops. Same entry price as Code Assist Standard, and code completions are not billed in AI credits at all, so its meter only funds chat and agent work. |
| GitLab Duo | Usage meter on top of a seat | $29 per user, per month (Premium), plus $1 per credit past the included 12 | GitLab only | Teams already standardized on GitLab Premium or Ultimate who can tolerate a variable line on the bill. |
| Agentcode | Flat subscription, no meter, no per-seat multiplication | $29 per month, flat, billed yearly | GitHub and GitLab equally, any hosting | Teams that want a task turned into a reviewable pull request on a bill that does not move with headcount, usage or the length of the month. |
Three of these five bill on something that moves: a meter, a credit pool, or an hourly license on a variable calendar. If you want the full set of numbers side by side, every AI coding tool priced in one table covers the rest, and GitHub Copilot pricing and GitLab Duo pricing break down the two platform bundles properly.
Should you buy Gemini Code Assist?
Your developers were on the free individual tier
You have a decision to make now, not at renewal.
Google stopped serving those requests on 18 June 2026. Standard at $19 a developer is the cheapest way to keep the same IDE experience, Antigravity is the free path Google itself points to, and a standalone agent is the option if what you actually wanted was work done rather than autocomplete.
You are deep in Google Cloud already
Standard is good value. Price Enterprise carefully.
The indemnification, the IDE coverage and the Cloud Run and BigQuery integrations are real, and the purchasing goes on a billing account you already have. Just do not assume Enterprise is the serious tier: on Google's own matrix the coding features are the same, and three of the four additions are separate Google Cloud products.
You mainly want better autocomplete
Compare Standard against Copilot Business at the same $19.
The two entry seats cost the same to the cent. Copilot has the wider editor and GitHub-surface reach and does not meter completions; Code Assist has the Google Cloud integrations and works regardless of where your repository is hosted. Pick on which ecosystem you are actually in, not on price, because there is no price difference.
You need one number for a budget or a purchase order
An hourly license will not give you a clean one.
The published rate is per hour, the invoice changes with month length, and the round figure you write on the purchase order will not match any single month's bill. If procurement needs a fixed annual line, $228 or $540 per seat per year is the honest way to write it, and a flat subscription is the alternative shape worth pricing against it.
You want the agent to do the task, not suggest the next line
You are buying the wrong category.
Code Assist is an in-editor assistant with an agent mode attached, capped at 1,500 agent requests a day on Standard. If the job is "take this ticket, change the code, run the tests and open a pull request I can review", that is a different product, and it does not need a Google Cloud billing account or a per-seat multiplication.
Where we fit, and where Gemini Code Assist beats us
The losses first, because there are real ones. Code Assist sits in VS Code and IntelliJ and finishes your line as you type, which is a genuinely useful thing we do not do. It carries gen AI indemnification on both editions. Inside Google Cloud it reaches into BigQuery, Cloud Run, Firebase and Colab Enterprise without any setup. And if your organization already has a Google Cloud billing account, buying it is a form rather than a project. Nothing we sell replaces an in-editor assistant, and we would not pretend otherwise.
Agentcode is narrower on purpose. You connect a GitHub or GitLab repository on any hosting, describe a task, and the agent plans it, edits the code, runs your existing test suite and opens a pull request for a human to read. It never merges on its own, so your review rules and your reviewers stay exactly where they are, and it never trains on your code.
It costs $29 a month, flat, billed yearly. Not $29 per user, not an hourly SKU, and not a number that moves when February is short. There is no annual-commitment premium to weigh, no daily agent cap to price against, and no Google Cloud billing account in the way. If you are building a shortlist, how the agent actually runs a task is the next page to read.
Gemini Code Assist pricing: the questions people actually search
How much does Gemini Code Assist cost?
Standard is $19 per user per month on a 12-month commitment and $22.80 on a monthly commitment. Enterprise is $45 and $54 on the same two terms. Google does not print those figures: its pricing page lists the license per hour, at $0.026027397 for Standard on an annual commit, which works out to $228 a year over 8,760 hours.
Is Gemini Code Assist free?
Not any more. Google's documentation states that on 18 June 2026 the Code Assist IDE Extensions and Gemini CLI stopped serving requests for the Gemini Code Assist for individuals, Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra tiers, and directs affected users to Antigravity and Antigravity CLI. The only paid editions today are Standard and Enterprise, and Google publishes no trial terms for either on its pricing page.
What is the difference between Gemini Code Assist Standard and Enterprise?
On Google's own edition matrix the coding features are identical: completion, generation, chat, local codebase awareness, code transformation, agent mode, Gemini CLI and indemnification are on both. Enterprise adds code customization against your private repositories, Gemini in Apigee, Gemini in Application Integration and Gemini Cloud Assist, and raises the daily agent cap from 1,500 to 2,000 requests.
How much is Gemini Code Assist Standard per user?
$19 per user per month if you commit to 12 months, or $22.80 per user per month on a monthly commitment. Both are billed monthly. Those are our conversions of Google's published hourly license fees of $0.026027397 and $0.031232877 per hour, multiplied by the 8,760 hours in a 365-day year.
How much does Gemini Code Assist Enterprise cost?
$45 per user per month on a 12-month commitment and $54 on a monthly commitment, from Google's hourly rates of $0.061643836 and $0.073972603. That is 2.37 times the Standard price. The daily agent quota rises from 1,500 to 2,000 requests, so most of the difference buys code customization and three Google Cloud products rather than a better coding assistant.
Why does Google list Gemini Code Assist pricing per hour?
Because Code Assist licenses are Google Cloud SKUs, and Google Cloud meters SKUs hourly even when the subscription is billed monthly. The consequence is that your bill tracks actual hours: 744 in a 31-day month, 672 in February. A Standard annual seat therefore invoices between $17.49 and $19.36 depending on the month, even though the annual total is exactly $228.
Is Gemini Code Assist cheaper than GitHub Copilot?
At the entry seat they cost the same. Code Assist Standard on an annual commitment is $19 per user per month and Copilot Business is $19 per user per month. The differences are elsewhere: Copilot is GitHub-only but does not bill code completions against its AI credit meter, while Code Assist works with any repository in a supported IDE but is bought through a Google Cloud billing account.
Do I have to commit to a year for Gemini Code Assist?
No, Google offers both monthly and 12-month commitment terms on both editions, and all subscriptions are billed monthly either way. The monthly commitment costs exactly 20% more: $22.80 against $19 on Standard and $54 against $45 on Enterprise. That premium is identical on both editions, which makes the trade easy to size.
What are the Gemini Code Assist usage limits?
Google publishes daily caps per user: agent mode and Gemini CLI share a combined limit of 1,500 requests per day on Standard and 2,000 on Enterprise, code generation and completion allow 6,000, and chat and Cloud Assist panel requests allow 960. There is also a rate limit of 2 requests per second per user, and Google notes one prompt can produce several model requests.
What replaced Gemini Code Assist for individuals?
Antigravity. Google describes it as a unified multi-agent platform with Antigravity CLI, and its documentation tells users on the withdrawn individuals, AI Pro and AI Ultra tiers to migrate there. Code Assist Standard and Enterprise continue as the paid, organization-purchased editions with their own quotas and indemnification.
Can I buy Gemini Code Assist without a Google Cloud account?
Not really. Google states that licenses are purchased from the Gemini Admin console or through a sales conversation for a custom quote, and the license fees are Google Cloud SKUs billed against a Google Cloud billing account. For a small team with no existing Google Cloud footprint, that setup is a genuine cost on top of the seat price.
Is there an AI coding agent that does not price per seat?
Yes. Per-seat pricing suits an in-editor assistant, because every developer needs their own. An agent that takes a task, edits the code, runs your tests and opens a pull request is not per-developer work. Agentcode connects to a GitHub or GitLab repository on any hosting and bills a flat $29 a month billed yearly, with no seat multiplication, no usage meter, and nothing merged without a human approving it.
