According to the code found by Sammyguru, Galaxy AI is divided into two stages. The "Max" plan will cost $4.99 per month or $47.99 per year. So the annual payment works out to be slightly cheaper than the twelve-month total.

According to the same code, the Max package includes Gen Video, Bixby Action and Daily Briefing features. Additionally, usage limits will be higher. Therefore, the features used today continue to remain in the free tier.

Who will the paid plan cover?

Currently, every Samsung device released since the Galaxy S24 has Galaxy AI. This means a very large user base extending from the series, which was initially introduced at the beginning of 2024, to today. A few exceptions, such as the Galaxy A17, are outside this scope.

Samsung stated that the features will be free on the first devices until the end of 2025. Therefore, the statement in the documents already indicated the possibility of charging after a certain date. The Galaxy AI paid plan idea also follows this line.

When will the Galaxy AI paid plan launch?

The calendar is not yet clear. Since Galaxy AI is free on most phones until the end of a certain year, the paid plan may come into play next year. This coincides with the launch of the Galaxy S27 series, which is expected in January or February.

The cost of providing artificial intelligence features to the user is increasing. That's why many companies are moving similar features behind the subscription wall. Moreover, as hardware prices rise, people will use their phones for longer, which can make subscriptions a strong revenue stream.

Samsung's price is currently below almost all of its competitors. There is no official announcement or launch date yet; On the other hand, the Galaxy S27 launch may be the first concrete sign of a Galaxy AI paid plan.
