# Jules review (2026): is the free plan enough? > Google's asynchronous coding agent that opens pull requests Checked Nov 12, 2026 ยท graded Nov 12, 2026 by ToolGPA. Jules is a coding agent from Google that works on GitHub repositories. You pick a repository and branch and describe a task; Jules clones the code into a cloud virtual machine, proposes a plan, makes the changes and opens a pull request. The vendor labels it a public beta. - **Category:** AI Agents - **Made by:** Google - **Website:** https://jules.google - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you use GitLab or Bitbucket, because the docs describe GitHub only. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 12, 2026 ## Pricing As of Nov 12, 2026, Jules has a free plan. - **Pricing model:** Free plan - **Free plan:** 15 tasks per day (rolling 24 hours), 3 concurrent tasks, Gemini 2.5 Pro. - **Free trial:** None listed. | Plan | Price | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | Jules | $0 | 15 tasks per day, 3 concurrent tasks, powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro. | | Jules in Pro | Included with a Google AI Pro subscription | 100 tasks per day, 15 concurrent tasks and higher access to the latest models, starting with Gemini 3 Pro. | | Jules in Ultra | Included with a Google AI Ultra subscription | 300 tasks per day, 60 concurrent tasks and priority access to the latest models. | Read from https://jules.google/docs/usage-limits on Nov 12, 2026. Prices change, so confirm with Jules before buying. ## Key features - **Plan before changes:** After a prompt, Jules writes a plan that you can review and approve before any code is edited. - **Cloud virtual machine:** Jules clones the repository into a virtual machine, installs dependencies and edits files there, so work continues while you are away. - **Pull requests on GitHub:** Finished work arrives as a diff you can browse and approve, then as a pull request. Adding a 'jules' label to an issue also assigns it a task. - **AGENTS.md support:** Jules reads an AGENTS.md file in the repository root to learn conventions and how to work with the codebase. - **Scheduled and suggested tasks:** The docs describe scheduled tasks and suggested tasks, and there is a command-line tool and a REST API alongside the web app. ## Good for - Developers who want small fixes, version bumps and tests handled in the background - Teams that already keep their code on GitHub - Anyone who wants to try an async coding agent at no cost ## Worth knowing - It works with GitHub repositories; the docs describe no other code host. - Paid tiers come only through Google AI Pro or Ultra, and for now only for individual @gmail.com accounts. - The Jules pages do not state the Google AI plan prices, so no monthly figure is recorded here. - The docs call Jules an experimental coding agent in public beta, and say limits and features may change. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. Jules is Google's coding agent that plans a change, works in a cloud machine and opens a pull request on GitHub. It is free for 15 tasks a day, but the docs call it an experimental public beta, it only works with GitHub, and paid tiers come only through Google AI plans for gmail.com accounts. - **Value for money: A.** Free for 15 tasks a day with 3 at once, which a single developer can live on. Paid tiers are bundled into a Google AI plan whose price the Jules pages do not state. - **Free plan and trial: B.** 15 tasks every rolling 24 hours on Gemini 2.5 Pro with no card mentioned. You can work on that, though a busy day hits the cap. - **Features: C.** Plans first, runs in a cloud VM, opens pull requests and reads AGENTS.md. The listing's gaps keep it at C: GitHub only, and a public beta. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and you connect GitHub repositories and write the task prompts yourself. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, and the docs describe no code host except GitHub. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Jules's own pages on 12 November 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among AI agents - Jules's GPA of 2.6 is higher than 70 of the 101 other AI agents we grade, and level with 17. - It stands best on value for money (A, above 91 of 101) and worst on platforms and integrations (C, above 0). The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/ai-agents ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Jules you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 70 of the 101 other AI agents we grade. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
