Is anyone else incredibly frustrated by the 10-license minimum for Gemini Code Assist Enterprise?
As an independent developer and advanced hobbyist, I’m currently on the Standard subscription. It’s great, but I’m constantly hitting the quota limits. More importantly, I am completely locked out of the repository-level codebase awareness that the Enterprise tier offers.
I’m currently building an extensive project that integrates Gemini AI, Apps Script, and Python across containerized network environments. Handling the underlying architecture is complex, and to really scale it, I desperately need the local codebase context that Enterprise provides.
I understand why enterprise sales models exist, but arbitrary minimums just stifle advanced solo builders. I am perfectly willing to pay a premium for a single seat. Google should allow an Enterprise subscription for just one license at a higher baseline cost, and apply tiered volume discounts as the number of seats increases. This preserves their enterprise revenue model while opening the door for independent creators to leverage Google’s most powerful coding tools without buying 9 empty phantom seats.
Has anyone found a workaround for this, or are there any Googlers lurking here who can pass this feedback to the Cloud team? It feels like a massive missed revenue opportunity on their end, and a huge bottleneck for us.
