Email, documents and meetings together
For teams that want custom-domain Gmail alongside Docs, Sheets, Slides and Meet. Business Standard adds recording and more pooled storage than Starter. Compare the annual commitment with your actual team size.
Google Workspace combines business email, file storage, shared documents and meetings with central administration. Its business plans include Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Meet and Chat. The main decision is the service tier: Starter, Standard and Plus have different pooled storage allowances and meeting limits. The standard prices here require a one-year commitment, with monthly billing. Choose the tier around the team’s work and administration needs, then check the order terms.

- $140
- One-year subscription12 monthly bills at that rate
- $1,680
$1,680 / year
Annual service costAssumes ten licenses for twelve months at the standard Business Standard rate, with a one-year commitment. Excludes taxes, domain registration, add-ons and migration. Checked November 2, 2026.
Before comparing suites, use the same number of people and the same contract period. A lower monthly headline price is not enough if one quote includes a longer commitment or a different set of services.
