Gemini in Android Studio is available in the following editions:

- [No-cost tier](https://developer.android.com/studio/gemini/get-started)
- [Business tier](https://developer.android.com/studio/gemini/get-started-businesses), available through a subscription to [Gemini Code Assist](https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/docs/overview) or membership in the [Google Developer Program](https://developers.google.com/program).
  - Standard tier
  - Enterprise tier

## What is the right tier for me?

If you're an individual freelance developer, student, or hobbyist we recommend
using [Gemini in Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio/gemini/get-started), available at no
cost. This includes access to a lightweight version of Gemini 2.5 Pro with a
smaller context window, which is appropriate for most tasks. If you need
to execute more complex tasks that would benefit from Gemini 2.5 Pro's full 1M
token context window, you can [add a Gemini API key](https://developer.android.com/studio/gemini/add-api-key)
and pay per-token.

If you're a professional developer who works as part of a team, ask your
administrator to consider subscribing to the [business tier](https://developer.android.com/studio/gemini/get-started-businesses). Gemini for
businesses includes additional features that make it easier to collaborate with
your teammates while incorporating your company's best practices and standards,
including but not limited to:

- Expanded 1M token context window
- [IP indemnification](https://cloud.google.com/gemini/docs/discover/works#how-gemini-protects)
- [VPC-SC and Private Google Access](https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/docs/configure-vpc-service-controls)
- Integration with tools such as Firebase, Colab Enterprise, BigQuery data insights, Cloud Run, and Database Studio.
- Analytics to track your team's usage and productivity impact.
- (Enterprise tier only) Customized code suggestions from your codebases in external tools such as GitHub.
