Google Slides Pricing & Free Plan Limits
Complete pricing breakdown for Google Slides including all plans, hidden costs, and limitations.
Pricing score: 92/100
Is Google Slides free?
Yes — the Free (personal Google account) plan costs nothing. Paid plans start at $8.40/month (Workspace Business Starter (flexible)).
The free plan includes
- Full Slides editor on web, iOS and Android
- Real-time collaboration and comments
- Templates and version history
- PPTX, PDF and image export
Free plan limits
- Users: 1 user, unlimited collaborators
- Storage: 15GB shared across Drive, Gmail and Google Photos
- No Gemini in Slides, no custom business email, no admin controls, help-center and community support only
Watch out: Storage is shared with Gmail and Photos; when it is full you can't create or upload files. Gemini AI in Slides needs a paid Google AI plan.

Pricing Issues Reported by Users
Gemini AI in Google Slides costs extra
Slides itself is free, but Gemini in Slides is not on Workspace Business Starter ($7/user/mo annual); it needs Business Standard ($14) or higher, or a Google AI Pro/Ultra plan for personal accounts. Storage is also shared with Gmail and Photos, so a full 15 GB account blocks new files.
