Google Gemini Pricing in Canada 2026
Quick Summary: Google Gemini Pricing in CAD
Quick answer: Google Gemini has 4 plans in Canada — Free ($0), Advanced (~$27 CAD/mo), Business (~$27 CAD/user/mo), and Enterprise (~$41 CAD/user/mo). Consumer plans are billed through Google One; Workspace plans are add-ons to existing subscriptions.
* CAD prices based on USD pricing x 1.36 exchange rate. Actual charges vary with exchange rates and bank fees.
Understanding Gemini Pricing for Canadians
Google prices Gemini subscriptions in US dollars, which means Canadian users need to factor in currency conversion. Gemini's pricing is split into two tracks: a consumer plan through Google One, and workspace add-ons for businesses already using Google Workspace. Here is a full breakdown as of February 2026.
Important for Canadian Users: All prices are charged in USD. Your bank will convert to CAD at their exchange rate, which typically adds 2.5-3% to the converted amount. Some credit cards offer no foreign transaction fees, which can save you money every month.

Google Workspace Integration: Gemini's Key Differentiator
What sets Gemini apart from other AI assistants is its deep, native integration with Google Workspace. If your Canadian business already runs on Gmail, Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Meet, Gemini slots directly into your existing workflow without switching apps.
Gmail
Draft entire emails from bullet points, summarize long threads into key action items, adjust tone from casual to formal, and generate contextual replies — all within your inbox.
Google Docs
Generate first drafts, rewrite sections for clarity, summarize lengthy documents, and brainstorm ideas. Gemini appears as a side panel so you never leave your document.
Google Sheets
Create complex formulas from plain-English descriptions, generate data analysis summaries, build pivot tables, and organize raw data into structured formats automatically.
Google Meet
AI-generated meeting summaries, real-time translated captions, automatic note-taking, and action item extraction. Enterprise plan users get unlimited AI meeting features.
Workspace Requirement: Gemini Business and Enterprise are add-ons. You must have an active Google Workspace Business Standard ($12 USD/user/mo), Business Plus ($18 USD/user/mo), or Enterprise subscription before adding Gemini. Factor in the base Workspace cost when calculating your total per-user spend.
