With Google Workspace, you can organize all official assignments from your home or office with a phone, tablet, or computer.

What is Google Workspace?

Google Workspace is a collection of vital business applications formerly known as G Suite. It is an integrated suite of secure applications that enhance team collaboration and productivity.

Google Workspace features include exposure to working insights, responsive apps, more significant cloud storage, end-point management, and advanced security. Even better, Google Workspace apps are so easy to use that most of your employees are likely already familiar with them.

Some of the more popular Google Workspace apps include Gmail, Docs, Drive, Calendar, and Meet. No matter which apps you’re using, Google Workspace is an easy way to remove barriers and increase output.

Google Workspace pricing

Google Workspace offers options for a one-person business quick start (1 user), small business quick start (2-9 users), medium-size business deployment (10- 300 users), and large business deployment (300+ users).

Fortunately, Google Workspace’s unbeatable price-performance ratio ensures that you get more than your money's worth of services.

Pricing starts from $6 per user per month for Business Starter accounts, $12 per user per month for Business Standard accounts, $18 per user per month for Business Plus, and $20 per user per month for Enterprise accounts. With this price breakdown in mind, your next step should be setting up your Google Workspace account for your business.
