Google AI Plus is slated to lose Pro-model selection Nov. 13

A notice attributed to the Google One team schedules a change to Google AI Plus’s Pro-model selection for November 13, 2026. As reported by Droid Life, which reproduced the notice, Plus subscribers would no longer be able to select Pro models in the Gemini app or AI Mode in Google Search. The notice says Flash and Flash-Lite would remain available, and existing Pro chats could continue with a different model.

What the reported change covers

The notice sets the same date for both affected model selectors: Gemini and AI Mode in Google Search. It describes a change to selecting Pro models, not the end of Google AI Plus. It says that option would remain available to Google AI Pro subscribers and higher tiers.

The schedule has already shifted once in the coverage: MovilZona reported that an earlier October 9 date passed without the change taking effect. NeoTeo covered the earlier October schedule. The notice reproduced by Droid Life gives November 13, 2026, as the planned date.

For Plus subscribers, the notice says Flash and Flash-Lite remain available. It also says existing conversations that used a Pro model can be continued with a different model; it does not name a specific replacement for each chat.

Google’s US plan prices and listed benefits

As of October 16, 2026, Google’s US subscriptions page lists these monthly prices and plan figures (Google subscriptions):

Moving from Plus to Pro means a $15 increase in the listed monthly price. The page presents usage access, storage and Flow credits as plan benefits; the reported notice separately addresses whether subscribers can select Pro models. For someone weighing the change, that makes the key question practical: whether Pro-model selection matters enough to justify the higher monthly fee, alongside the other listed benefits.
