Samsung tests a paid Galaxy AI plan at $4.99 a month

Samsung is testing a paid Galaxy AI subscription through an early access program, SammyGuru reported in an exclusive, and PCMag followed up. Participants will receive refunds for money spent during the test.

The proposed Max plan provides four times the standard usage allowance and access to Gen Video, Bixby Action and Daily Briefing. Gen Video creates videos from photos, while Bixby Action automates tasks across apps.

Code found in the trial points to pricing of $4.99 per month or $47.99 per year, although final prices could change. Free users would retain access to tools including Browsing Assist, Now Brief, Creative Studio, Smart Capture, Samsung Keyboard, Photo Assist and Personal Agent, subject to usage limits.

Samsung has not confirmed a public launch or supported devices. Code in the trial suggests the plan could initially appear on the Galaxy S27 series.

Samsung launched Galaxy AI with the Galaxy S24 series and said its features would stay free through 2025; so far users have not been charged.
