Which Google Workspace Plan Should You Choose?

Among various types of pricing plans within Google Workspace, you have to consider few more alternatives of Google workspace and check out for the similar features, their prices and ease of use(navigation and graphics).

Google Workspace Business Starter

This plan would be a good option if:

• You are a freelancer, solopreneur or small business owner who manages a small team (i.e. less than 5 employees)

• You want an email address on your own domain

• You don’t work with large file formats and don’t need a huge amount of space to store files and emails

• You don’t need archiving for your emails and chat messages, or advanced admin and security controls

However, if you have a bigger team and/or don’t think the 30 GB of personal storage will cut it, then it’s worth considering one of the higher plans.

Google Workspace Business Standard

Due to price difference between Starter and Standard plans, Standard plan may not be a realistic option for some businesses. However, we’d recommend this plan if:

• You manage a medium-to-large sized team

• You want access to all the features of Google Workspace Business Starter, but also want email and message archiving (Google Vault)

• Don’t want to worry about running out of storage space for your files (2 TB should be enough for most small businesses)

• Easily syncing and sharing files across teams

• Use Google Meet for video conferencing upto 150 participants on any call

• You don’t need advanced admin and security controls

Google Workspace Business Plus

This plan is directed at larger businesses. We'd recommend it if:

• You are in need of more advanced security features

• 2 TB per user isn't enough for you. The Business Plus plan allows for 5 TB per user

• You regularly host very large video conferences with up to 500 participants

Google Workspace Enterprise

This is ideal for businesses and enterprises that need the features offered by Google Workspace Business Plus, but also:

• Have larger teams, and therefore require greater admin and security controls over their Google Workspace apps

• Need advanced security features such as device management rules, security key management and data loss prevention

• Aside from having access to email archiving via Google Vault, need to be able to integrate with third-party archiving tools 

The good thing is that you can purchase different plans for different users within your business. For example, if you only want Enterprise for some of your users, you don’t have to commit your entire team to it. This could help you reduce your monthly cost significantly.

There are also special plans available for schools (Google Workspace for Education and Google Workspace Enterprise for Education), and non-profits (Google Workspace for Non-profits).

Plans can be billed monthly or annually.

What's Not Included in Google Workspace's Pricing Plans?

Google offers a few additional features that can be integrated to your Google Workspace plan at an extra cost. These include:

• Google Gemini – Google's generative AI assistant that integrates directly with your Workspace apps, helping you to perform handy tasks such as create meeting summaries, draft emails, and build presentations, among many other things.

• Google Voice – Google Voice allows you to make phone calls and send text messages. Note that this service is only available in the Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, U.K. and U.S.  A SIP Link subscription can be connected to Google Voice in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico.

• Google AppSheet – Google's no-code software development platform can also be added to your Google Workspace account.

Conclusion

If you are wondering, is Google Workspace worth it?, there are a few things to consider here.

You get access to a full suite of office productivity apps and extensive storage options. Previously, you could use a personal Google Drive subscription with your Workspace account, but now the storage is pooled and shared among all users
