Free CLI; model access varies

The Apache-2.0 CLI has no license fee. Model access depends on authentication and provider billing. The old free consumer allowance is no longer offered through Gemini CLI; check Google’s current access guidance.

Before you decide

Google says unpaid and Google One users moved to Antigravity CLI on June 18, 2026. Confirm supported access and model availability before choosing Gemini CLI.
