ResearchBeginnerFree tierUnder 20 / month
Reads the sources you upload and answers from those sources. Google renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook in July 2026. Old notebooks stay put.
- Who it is for
- People studying a set of notes, articles, or transcripts who want questions answered from that pile only.
- Price and free tier
- Standard is free with a Gmail account: Google's help page says to sign up at no charge. Higher limits come with Google AI Plus at $4.99 per month, Pro at $19.99 per month, or Ultra from $99.99 per month. Those dollar prices are from Google's AI plans page.
- A personal Google account gets the Standard notebook limits, including a cap on notebooks, sources, and daily audio overviews.
- Starting paid price used for filters: $4.99/month. Band: Under 20 / month. Bands use the month-to-month number when the page prints one. Euro prices are not converted to dollars.
- Watch out
- It only knows what you upload, and it can still misread a source. Paid access depends on your country. A work or school account may not include it.
