Gemini is also the brand name for the end-user web and phone chatbot apps, think ChatGPT (app) vs. GPT-# (model).

Gemini Advanced is the paid subscription service tier that at the moment gets you access to the Ultra model, similar to how a ChatGPT Plus subscription gets you access to GPT-4.

Honestly, they should have called this part Gemini Chat and Gemini Chat Plus, but of course ego won't let them follow the competitor's naming scheme.

Oh, I understand, thank you. To me with the "Gemini Advanced" they screwed the naming scheme.

With an already complex naming for regular consumers (Nano/Pro/Ultra each one with a 1.x), adding this Advanced thing it becomes and spaghetti.

I understand that for most people may be just a chat input and don't care, but if people will consider to pay, they will research a bit and is confusing.
