Making the Google Developer Program more accessible

Today, we're sharing three significant updates to make the Google Developer Program more accessible and valuable to developers everywhere. We're expanding access to Google Developer Program in China, introducing more flexible options for premium in new regions and inviting you to connect with your local community at DevFest.

Expanding our monthly subscription option

We're making the Google Developer Program premium tier more accessible to developers around the world. Today, we're expanding our monthly subscription option to India and Italy, bringing the total number of supported countries to 13 ¹ .

To better support our developer community in India, we are also introducing new regional pricing. This makes it easier for more developers to access advanced tools to improve their workflows. The premium plan includes access to increased rate quotas for the Gemini CLI through Gemini Code Assist Standard, Google Cloud credits to experiment with our latest Gemini models, an expanded limit of 30 Firebase Studio workspaces and more.

For a full list of benefits and to learn more about the plan options in your region, visit the Google Developer Program plans and pricing page.

Connecting and growing at DevFest

Each year, Google Developer Groups (GDGs) host DevFest events across the globe, bringing developers together to learn, share and connect, with Googlers and Google Developer Experts as speakers. It's where technology meets community, sparking innovation and real-world adoption of new tech in AI/ML, Cloud, Android, and Web.

DevFest season is a special time. It's a chance to step away from the screen and connect with the passionate people in your local tech community. You'll learn from expert speakers, get hands-on with new tools in workshops, and leave with new ideas and a stronger network of peers. It's a powerful opportunity to grow your skills and find inspiration for your next project.

We strongly encourage you to find a DevFest event near you. It's one of the best ways to experience the power of the developer community firsthand.
