Google Antigravity student offers 2026: free AI Pro year, redeem by Dec 31
Updated: 6 days ago
Updated: November 3, 2026
Eligible U.S. college students can get one year of Google AI Pro at no charge if they redeem the offer by December 31, 2026, and that plan is the route that raises their Google Antigravity limits above the free tier. After the 12 months Google charges the standard $19.99 a month unless the student cancels, and the account must keep a valid payment method on file from the day of sign-up.
Students outside the United States receive a different package. Google's August 2026 announcement offers one year of Google AI Plus in more than 140 markets, also redeemable until December 31, 2026, but Google's current plan pages list no Antigravity benefit for AI Plus and do not allow AI Plus members to buy AI credits. For Antigravity use, an AI Plus student therefore sits on the same weekly quota that any free personal account receives.
........
Offer | Who can claim it | Length and price after | Effect in Antigravity |
Google AI Pro student plan | Eligible U.S. college students, 18+ | 12 months free, then $19.99/month | Pro quota, refreshed every five hours up to a weekly limit |
Google AI Plus student plan | Eligible students in 140+ markets outside the U.S. | 12 months free, then $4.99/month or local equivalent | No listed Antigravity benefit; free weekly quota applies |
Antigravity Individual tier | Any eligible personal Google account | $0, ongoing | Basic weekly rate limits, unlimited Tab and Command requests |
Paid Google AI Pro | Any eligible subscriber | $19.99/month | Same Pro quota as the student plan |

GOOGLE AI PRO STUDENT PLAN: WHAT U.S. STUDENTS GET.
Google's student page describes the U.S. offer as a free Google AI Pro student plan for eligible college students aged 18 or older. New users can claim it, and so can students whose 2025 AI Pro trial has already expired. Eligibility has to be re-verified every year, and Google's help center adds that U.S. students who previously redeemed the student discount receive 12 more months after re-verifying through SheerID.
The plan bundles the regular Google AI Pro benefits: higher Gemini usage limits, Gemini Spark, Gemini Omni for the year and expanded storage. Google's own pages disagree on the storage figure, with the student page and the August 19, 2026 announcement listing 5 TB while the student-trial help article still lists 2 TB, so the amount shown in the Google One account during sign-up is the reliable number for a given student.
Antigravity is part of the Pro plan through its developer benefits. Google's Antigravity plan documentation gives Pro accounts a high quota that refreshes every five hours until a weekly limit is reached, plus a higher weekly rate limit than non-subscribers. Google does not publish a fixed prompt count for any tier, because the quota tracks the agent's workload: short tasks consume less than long sessions with browser, terminal and multi-file work.

STUDENTS OUTSIDE THE U.S.: GOOGLE AI PLUS INSTEAD OF AI PRO.
Google's help center now states that the Google AI Pro student trial is available only to students in the U.S. Students in the 52 countries and regions where the earlier Pro trial ran keep their access until their own eligibility period ends, but new students in those markets are pointed to a different offer.
That offer is one year of Google AI Plus, announced on August 20, 2026 for students in more than 140 markets. Google excludes the U.S., Bolivia, Albania, Canada, Macau, Hong Kong and Tunisia. The plan includes 400 GB of storage and higher Gemini limits, and it renews at $4.99 a month or the local equivalent after the free year unless the student cancels.
For Antigravity the difference is large. Google's plans page sets quotas for Pro and Ultra and groups everyone else under a weekly quota, and the Google AI Credits help page states that AI credits cannot be purchased on Google AI Plus. Google also announced a student bundle of Google AI Pro with YouTube Premium at up to 70% off for up to four years, which gives students in those markets a discounted route to Pro-level Antigravity limits when the free quota is not enough.

GOOGLE ANTIGRAVITY ELIGIBILITY AND SIGN-UP STEPS FOR STUDENTS.
The help center lists a single personal Google Account as a requirement for the Pro student trial, and Google excludes school-issued accounts from the YouTube Premium bundle. Student status is checked by SheerID, and when instant verification fails the student uploads proof of enrollment, which Google says can take up to 48 hours to review.
Google One members can apply, with exceptions listed by Google: members of a family group, members already on a larger storage plan than the one offered, and members who pay through third-party partners, Pixel Pass or Google Fi. Antigravity itself has separate requirements on the Google AI Pro benefits page: users must be 18 or older, prompts are supported in English only, and the product runs as a desktop application on Windows, macOS and Linux.
........
Step | What to do | Where it can fail |
1 | Sign in with a personal Google Account | The offer requires a personal account |
2 | Open the student offer from Google One and verify with SheerID | Manual review can take up to 48 hours |
3 | Add a payment method and subscribe | Required even though the first year is free |
4 | Install Antigravity and sign in with the same account | The Pro quota applies only to the subscribed account |
5 | Set a reminder before the renewal date | The plan renews at the standard price |

ANTIGRAVITY LIMITS AND AI CREDITS ON A STUDENT PLAN.
A free year of Pro does not remove Antigravity quotas. When a Pro account exhausts the baseline quota for a model, Antigravity either waits for the refresh or spends AI credits, depending on the AI Credit Overages setting: "Never" waits, while "Always" uses credits and returns to the baseline automatically once the quota refreshes. Quota use per model appears on the Antigravity Settings page.
Google AI Pro and Ultra members can buy AI credits in increments such as 2,500, 5,000 or 20,000 credits, and the credits extend usage in Google Antigravity and Google Flow. Antigravity bills them at standard Gemini Enterprise consumption pricing. Google does not publish a per-credit dollar price on its help page, credits can expire after the period shown at purchase, and purchases are not available in Japan. Optional auto-reload is limited to five top-ups a day.
Antigravity does not support bring-your-own API keys or custom endpoints to add capacity, so a student who regularly runs out of quota has three choices: wait for the refresh, buy credits, or move to Google AI Ultra, which Google lists from $99.99 a month with 5x higher Antigravity rate limits than Pro and a $199.99 tier with the highest limits.

WHAT A GOOGLE ANTIGRAVITY STUDENT PLAN IS WORTH IN DOLLARS.
Data Studios calculated the value of the two free years at the renewal prices Google publishes. The figures cover the subscription only; AI credits bought during the year are extra.
........
Plan | Free period | List value of the free year | Price from month 13 |
Google AI Pro student plan (U.S.) | 12 months | $239.88 | $19.99/month |
Google AI Plus student plan (outside U.S.) | 12 months | $59.88 | $4.99/month or local equivalent |
Antigravity Individual tier | No end date | $0 | $0 |
........
For Antigravity specifically, only the U.S. Pro offer changes the quota. A student outside the U.S. who claims AI Plus gains storage and Gemini app limits, while Antigravity usage stays on the free weekly allowance described in our Google Antigravity pricing guide.

OLD ANTIGRAVITY TRIALS FROM 2025 ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
Google ran its earlier Google AI Pro student trial in 2025 across 52 countries and regions, and the Antigravity launch offers of late 2025 belonged to the product's first months. Neither can be claimed today by new users outside the U.S. Pro offer described above. Students who still hold one of the earlier trials keep it until their eligibility period ends, as Google's help center states.
The launch-period offers are documented in our record of the December 2025 Antigravity offers. Readers who only want to know whether Antigravity costs anything without a student plan can read our answer on whether Google Antigravity is free.

GOOGLE ANTIGRAVITY STUDENT OFFERS: WHAT IS CONFIRMED AND WHAT IS NOT.
Google's pages confirm the U.S. Google AI Pro student plan for one year at no charge, the December 31, 2026 redemption deadline, the $19.99 monthly renewal, the AI Plus student offer outside the U.S. with its $4.99 renewal, and the Antigravity quota structure of a five-hour refresh with a weekly cap for Pro accounts. Google does not publish numeric Antigravity quotas for any plan, a dollar price per AI credit, or an Antigravity benefit for AI Plus.
The storage figure for the U.S. student plan is the one point where Google's own pages conflict, and the Antigravity quotas themselves can change with available capacity, as Google states in its plan documentation. A U.S. student who uses Antigravity for coursework gets the most from the offer by claiming it before December 31, checking quota use in Settings, and keeping AI credit overages set to "Never" unless extra spending is planned.
