Googles AI Pro plan is already a jam-packed offering, giving you higher accessibility to Gemini tools such as Deep Research and image generation and editing with Nano Banana Pro, not to mention youll also have increased access to NotebookLMs slew of features so the free storage boost comes as a very generous upgrade.

While Google has rolled out its free storage increase, rival service ChatGPT has its own Plus plan that costs the same as Google's, but doesn't offer additional storage in the way that Google's plan does. Though it doesn't have Google's range of additional services that require extra storage, such as Photos and Drive, ChatGPT isn't explicit about how much storage it offers across each of its plans, as well as how much access you get to its roster of models and features.
