Samsung appears to be testing a “Galaxy AI Premium” subscription that would place some Galaxy AI features behind a paywall for users who do not pay. Multiple outlets report leaked or code-based pricing around $4.99–$5 per month, with an annual option also mentioned, and that free features are expected to remain available at least initially.
Reporting also describes a tiered structure. Outlets say Samsung is testing features behind the paid plan while keeping a set of “basic” or free tools accessible to non-subscribers, potentially with lower usage limits on the free tier. Some coverage adds that heavy users could be required to buy additional usage credits or upgrade to a higher “Max” tier after limits are reached, rather than losing access entirely.
While no outlet cites an official Samsung announcement, the articles generally align on the existence of a premium testing effort and the likely pricing range. They differ mainly in how they frame the impact—such as whether paid features are characterized as “best” features, how prominently they emphasize usage credits, and what they say about when the change could roll out or whether timing has slipped.
