When Samsung introduced Galaxy AI, the company said that people would be able to use the service for free until 2025, suggesting that it could start charging for these AI tools starting in 2026. Well, the South Korean tech giant is once again reminding people of this timeline.

You may have to start paying for Galaxy AI from 2026

Samsung issued a press release earlier today announcing the opening of seven Galaxy Experience Spaces around the world to showcase the capabilities of Galaxy AI. In the footnotes of that press release, the South Korean tech giant states:Galaxy AI features will be provided for free until the end of 2025 on supported Samsung Galaxy devices,“reminding people that it could start charging them to use Galaxy AI starting in 2026.

The major GenAI chatbots or virtual assistants currently available on the market, including Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Open AI’s ChatGPT, arrived as free services. However, there are now paid versions of all of these services—Gemini Advanced, Copilot Plus, and ChatGPT Plus—that offer more features than their free versions.

Could there be a Galaxy AI+ in the future?

In this context, Samsung could offer some basic (or current) features of the Galaxy AI for free and introduce a paid tier with newer and more advanced features in the future. Samsung may launch the paid version with a Plus branding, like most other companies, and call it Galaxy AI+ (Galaxy AI Plus).

According to the press release, Samsung has launched seven Galaxy Experience Spaces around the world where people can experience the capabilities of Galaxy AI. These experience zones are located in Paris, Berlin, New York, Dubai, Jakarta, Seoul, and Tokyo.
