Jakarta (ANTARA) - Samsung is reportedly preparing a paid service model for Galaxy AI, which is currently available free of charge to users of Samsung devices.

According to SammyGuru on Monday (9 November), Samsung is testing a Galaxy AI subscription service.

The subscription, which appears to be part of an early-access programme, would allow users to opt in and try the service. The app provider says any money spent during the trial period will be refunded once the programme ends.

The paid service would give users broader access to existing Galaxy AI features, such as Photo Assist and Browsing Assist, as well as access to a range of new features.

GSM Arena reported on Monday (9 November) that all currently available Galaxy AI features would remain free, including Browsing Assist, Creative Studio, Memory, Now Brief and Photo Studio. However, Samsung would introduce new features with limited free access, alongside three paid tiers for users who need more access.

Galaxy AI usage is expected to be divided into three tiers: Starter (10,000 credits), Plus (20,000 credits) and Pro (50,000 credits). SamMobile reported that these AI usage allowances would apply once a user’s free Galaxy AI allocation had been used up.

Users could then pay according to usage or pay separately for specific features. A pay-as-you-go option using credit tokens that remain valid for up to three years would also be available.

The Free tier includes 10 translations, five summaries and two image generations per day, while the Essential tier offers 100 translations, 50 summaries and 20 image generations daily. The Premium tier provides unlimited daily use of translation, summarisation and image generation.

New features being prepared for the Galaxy AI Premium package include Bixby Action, which is designed to create routines for completing daily tasks, and Galaxy Claw, which automates routine daily tasks. Other additions include Gen Video, which turns photos into animated video clips using text prompts, and Daily Briefing.
