A report suggests that Google is working on a paid tier of search that would offer advanced AI responses and premium features.
Google is reportedly considering a way it can charge users who want to see advanced AI-based search results on the Google app and website. According to The Financial Times, Google is looking to find another way to monetize its search engine while continuing to offer its free, ad-based search platform. In other words, users would pay to use premium AI-powered features available on the Google app or website.
Sources familiar with Google’s plans said that the premium AI-powered search feature could end up being part of Google’s current subscription services such as Google One or Gemini Advanced.
