Google raises G Suite prices: Basic to $6 a month per user, business to $12 a month

By | January 23, 2019

The G Suite price increases are the first in a decade. Google argues that the price increases reflect more value. G Suite Enterprise prices unchanged.

Google is raising prices for its G Suite Basic and G Suite Business productivity suites for the first time ever.

G Suite, which competes directly with Microsoft’s Office 365, is raising its prices for the first time. G Suite Basic will raise prices from $5 per user per month to $6. G Suite Business will go from $10 per user per month to $12. According to Google, G Suite Enterprise, which runs $25 per user a month, isn’t impacted by the price increase.

Competitively, the pricing moves are in line with Office 365, but mind the details when it comes to features. Microsoft’s Office 365 Business Essentials is $5 per user a month with annual commitment with Office 365 Business at $8.25 a month and Office 365 Business Premium at $12.50 a month with same terms. Those plans are small business oriented.

The Microsoft plans differ on apps offered as well as storage.
