You still can&#8217;t get it for free, though. <\/p>\n<p>Starting today, Gemini Spark is available for users in the U.S. who are paying for the $20\/month Google Ai Pro tier. Globally, you&#8217;ll need to pay for Google AI Ultra, which starts at about $100 (depending on the market). <\/p>\n<p>The one exception to this are folks in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, Switzerland, or Nigeria, which aren&#8217;t (yet) getting access to Gemini Spark. <\/p>\n<section x-data=\"window.newsletter({ isDeal: false })\" x-init=\"init()\" aria-label=\"Newsletter Sign-Up\" class=\"relative invisible my-12 mx-auto w-full max-w-3xl md:my-16 ziff-component accent-cut-for-gradient-bg accent-cut-border-for-gradient-bg bg-gradient-fuchsia-secondary p-[2px]\">\n<p>\n            <span class=\"text-gradient-fuchsia-secondary\">Mashable Light Speed<\/span>\n        <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>Google&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/gemini.google\/overview\/agent\/spark\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-ga-click=\"1\" data-ga-label=\"$text\" data-ga-item=\"text-link\" data-ga-module=\"content_body\" title=\"(opens in a new window)\">support documents<\/a> say you shouldn&#8217;t worry if you don&#8217;t have access to Spark yet, as the company is &#8220;rapidly expanding access to more users and businesses over the coming weeks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7\">\n        <span class=\"font-bold text-primary-400\">SEE ALSO:<\/span><br \/>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/tech\/google-releases-two-new-gemini-models-not-pro\" class=\"flex items-center text-secondary-300\"><br \/>\n            <span class=\"ml-1\">Google releases two new Gemini models, but still no Gemini 3.5 Pro<\/span><br \/>\n            <svg class=\"ml-1 w-4 h-4 font-normal fill-current\"><use href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/images\/icons\/spritemap.svg#sprite-arrow-right-thin\"\/><\/svg><br \/>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<p>Gemini Spark is based on Gemini 3.5 and, like other similar agents, is designed to work in the background.
