Samsung Reportedly Plans Galaxy AI Premium Subscription with Paid Tiers

Samsung introduced Galaxy AI with the Galaxy S24 series in 2024. The suite of built-in AI tools currently remains free for users. Samsung’s product page states that the features are available at no charge for a limited time. The company has not yet placed the AI tools behind a paywall or subscription. However, Samsung now reportedly plans to launch a dedicated premium subscription for Galaxy AI. The service will carry a monthly or yearly fee depending on the chosen plan. It is expected to raise usage limits on existing tools and add new features.

Expected Pricing and Subscription Tiers

According to a report by SammyGuru, Samsung intends to introduce a Galaxy AI Premium Subscription to monetise its onboard AI tools. The company is said to offer two tiers: Standard and Max. The Standard plan will function as the free tier. It will provide AI tools such as Browsing Assist, Now Brief, Creative Studio, Smart Capture, Samsung Keyboard, Photo Assist, and Personal Agent. Usage limits on this tier will remain relatively low. Once users exhaust the free quota, they will reportedly need to buy a credit pack or upgrade to the Max plan.

The Galaxy AI Max subscription is expected to cost $4.99 (roughly Rs. 470) per month. Users may also select a yearly option priced at $47.99 (about Rs. 4,500). The Max plan will reportedly deliver four times the usage limits of the Standard tier. It will also unlock additional AI functionalities not available on the free plan.

New Features Expected in the Max Plan

The Max tier is said to include a Gen Video tool. This feature could allow users to create AI-generated videos from pictures. A Bixby Action capability may let users automate tasks across different apps. The plan could also introduce Daily Briefing as a separate hub from Now Brief. These additions aim to expand the practical value of Galaxy AI for subscribers.

Initial Availability

The report indicates that the subscription will first be offered exclusively with the Samsung Galaxy S27 series. That lineup is expected to launch early next year. Samsung has not yet confirmed the subscription details or the exact rollout timeline. The move would mark the company’s shift toward paid access for advanced Galaxy AI features after the current free period ends.
