Gemini 4 Argon: price, limits and messages on every plan
Google's Gemini 4 Argon in llmwise: how many Gemini 4 Argon messages each plan gives, what counts against them, what Gemini 4 Argon reads, where your messages go, and what it costs at Google's API prices.
Prices and limits checked against OpenRouter's Gemini 4 Argon page. Updated .
Short answer
Gemini 4 Argon isn't in llmwise's free trial; it needs a paid plan. A paid plan gives up to 31 Gemini 4 Argon messages a month on Plus ($10), 62 on Pro ($20), 200 on Max ($50), 450 on Ultra ($100) and 1,000 on Studio ($200). Each Gemini 4 Argon message's price is shown before you send it.
In the news: Gemini 4 Argon is out: what changed, and what it costs you ().
What Google announced, sourced on its launch page:
- Google announced Argon on September 30, 2026, first for trusted cyber defenders in its Fairwind Program, and released it to developers and enterprises on October 13.
- The introductory price runs through November 30, 2026; from December 1 it's $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output, and output includes its thinking tokens.
- Cached input costs 95% less, $0.10 per million tokens and $0.20 from December 1; that cache works on its own for prompts of at least 4,096 tokens, and explicit caching isn't supported.
Gemini 4 Argon on every plan
What Gemini 4 Argon costs in llmwise is a count, not a token bill: up to 62 a month on Pro, and it isn't in the free trial.
| Plan | Price | Gemini 4 Argon messages | Each, if all go to Gemini 4 Argon |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Not in the trial | — |
| Plus | $10 a month | Up to 31 a month | $0.32 |
| Pro | $20 a month | Up to 62 a month | $0.32 |
| Max | $50 a month | Up to 200 a month | $0.25 |
| Ultra | $100 a month | Up to 450 a month | $0.22 |
| Studio | $200 a month | Up to 1,000 a month | $0.20 |
Prices don't include tax, which is added where it applies and shown before you pay. A paid plan's month is one allowance every model shares, so each Gemini 4 Argon count is the most you get if all of it goes to Gemini 4 Argon, and "each" is the plan's price divided by that count. How pricing works.
Every limit is published. Paid plans also have a monthly fair-use limit on AI cost: Plus $3.75, Pro $7.50, Max $20, Ultra $42, Studio $85. Using every message on your plan at typical sizes stays under it; very large messages and heavy research use it faster. Every limit, explained.
Gemini 4 Argon usage limits, explained
Every limit on Gemini 4 Argon in llmwise is published. Here's each one, in Gemini 4 Argon messages.
Gemini 4 Argon draws on the monthly allowance every model shares: 62 Gemini 4 Argon messages on Pro if nothing else uses it. Each message on a smaller model leaves fewer Gemini 4 Argon messages, each Gemini 4 Argon message leaves fewer for them, and unused Gemini 4 Argon messages don't carry over when the billing period renews.
Long Gemini 4 Argon chats count more, because each Gemini 4 Argon reply resends the whole conversation. Past 64k tokens a Gemini 4 Argon reply counts as 2 messages, so Pro's 62 Gemini 4 Argon messages become up to 31 such replies; past 128k it counts as 4 (up to 15 Gemini 4 Argon replies); past 200k the Gemini 4 Argon chat is full.
Gemini 4 Argon's native context window is 1.05M tokens; llmwise stops a Gemini 4 Argon chat at 200k tokens, so a Gemini 4 Argon chat uses at most 200k of its 1.05M tokens.
A Gemini 4 Argon reply can run to 8,000 tokens on Plus and Pro and 16,000 on Max, Ultra, and Studio, at the same Gemini 4 Argon price however long it runs.
On a paid plan each web search or link read in a Gemini 4 Argon reply counts as 1 more Gemini 4 Argon message.
A $10 top-up adds up to 50 more Gemini 4 Argon messages, valid 12 months, spent once the plan's own Gemini 4 Argon count is gone.
Gemini 4 Argon replies share every plan's soft cap of 100 replies an hour with the other models.

Where your Gemini 4 Argon messages go
A Gemini 4 Argon message goes to Google directly when llmwise can reach Google, or through OpenRouter when it can't.
If Google fails before a Gemini 4 Argon reply starts (an overload, a server error, a dropped connection), llmwise resends the Gemini 4 Argon request through OpenRouter, to endpoints that, according to OpenRouter, don't store prompts for their own use or train on them.
The Privacy Policy lists every company a Gemini 4 Argon message can reach.
Gemini 4 Argon's API price, and what a message costs
Gemini 4 Argon's API price is $4.00 per million tokens in and $20.00 out: Google's list price, its standard price from December 1, 2026; $2 / $10 until then. At that price a typical Gemini 4 Argon message (4,000 tokens in, 700 out) costs about $0.0300.
In llmwise a Gemini 4 Argon message isn't billed by the token: it's one of up to 62 Gemini 4 Argon messages a month on Pro, however long the Gemini 4 Argon reply runs.

How Gemini 4 Argon began its reply to our first writing prompt, “Write a LinkedIn post of 100 to 150 words announcing that our small bakery, Crumb & Co., opens a second shop in Leeds on 14 November. Mention the free coffee…”:
We have some lovely news to share. On 14 November, Crumb & Co. is opening the doors to our second shop, right in the heart of Leeds. When we started our little bakery, we simply wanted to make good, honest bread and pastries for our neighbours. Thanks to your support, our ovens have been working overtime, and we are finally ready to grow. Our new Leeds shop will have the same warm loaves, flaky croissants, and friendly faces you know from our first location. The team has spent the last few weeks painting walls, testing the new ovens, and getting everything just right for you. To celebrate and say thank you for helping us get here, we are pouring free coffee for everyone who visits us on opening day. If you are in Leeds on 14 November, please pop in, say hello, and have a cup on us.
