Google One in India: price and how to pay
Basic ₹149/mo · ≈ $1.56 · verified 2026-08-29
Source · verified 2026-08-29
Google One Basic (100 GB) verifies at Rs 149/mo ($1.56) in India on 29 Aug 2026 — well above the US $1.99-equivalent in rupee terms but still pocket change. Billing goes through Google Play, so UPI works as a Play Store payment method for the recurring subscription alongside Indian debit/credit cards. Annual billing on one.google.com usually knocks a chunk off versus paying twelve monthlies.
Payment in India
- Local card
- Play gift card
- Apple gift card
- Apple Pay
Billed through Apple in India — your Apple account must be set to India. Apple ID credit in this storefront can pay the in-app price.
How to subscribe
- 1Open the Google One app or one.google.com signed into your main Gmail account — storage attaches to that account, not your phone.
- 2In the Play Store payment methods, add UPI: approve the collect request once in your UPI app and future renewals debit automatically.
- 3Before committing monthly, compare the annual Basic price on one.google.com — Google discounts it in India and the savings beat any workaround.
- 4Check whether your Jio/Airtel or bank offer already bundles Google One — plenty of Indian postpaid plans include 100 GB free, which would make the Rs 149 redundant.
