Current Galaxy AI features are free and will remain free, according to Samsung, but new features like Bixby Action, Gen Video and Galaxy Claw may sit behind the paid tiers.

Leak Reveals Samsung's Galaxy AI Premium Plans: $5 a Month, Three Credit Tiers

Samsung organized its AI push under the "Galaxy AI" umbrella, which includes free features. The currently available features are free and will remain free. But a detailed leak by SamMobile now brings some clarity to how Samsung plans to charge for its newest Galaxy AI features. There is still no official info, and no launch date is given. The change to paid features was supposed to happen in 2025, but it didn't. It didn't happen this year either.

Three credit plans

According to the leak, Samsung will introduce new features with limited free access and paid tiers for users who need more. There will be three Galaxy AI plans: Starter (10,000 credits), Plus (20,000 credits) and Pro (50,000 credits). It's not clear what you can do with 1 credit.

What it may cost

SammyGuru has screenshots of the Galaxy AI Premium subscription UI — but ignore the prices in the screenshots. Strings inside the app suggest the monthly subscription in the US will be $5, with a 12-month plan for $48, so $4 a month. Samsung will offer both subscription-based and pay-as-you-go plans; pay-as-you-go tokens will be valid for three years and will be separate from the paid Galaxy AI Premium subscription.

Translation, summaries and image generation

There is a separate tier structure for translation, summarization and image generation — the article calls it a little confusing. The free daily limits are 10 translations, 5 summaries and 2 image generations per day. An "Essential" tier increases these limits 10x, i.e. 100 translations instead of 10 per day, and the "Premium" tier will give you unlimited access.

Current features become Galaxy AI Core

Current features move under the "Galaxy AI Core" label: Browsing Assist, Creative Studio, Memory, Now Brief, Photo Studio and others.

New features behind the paid tiers

Bixby Action may be the name of the rumored agentic Bixby feature. It will allow you to create system routines for daily tasks and triggers for them. Daily Briefing, not to be confused with Now Brief, will be available on the Plus tier, though we're not entirely sure what it is and how it differs from Now Brief. Gen Video will turn photos into video clips, guided by text prompts. Galaxy Claw sounds like Samsung's take on OpenClaw — it will automate daily routines and may overlap with Bixby Action to some extent.
