How Much is Google Workspace Per Month?
How Much is Google Workspace Per Month?
Google Workspace billing operates on a monthly usage-based payment model, with charges calculated and billed at the beginning of the subsequent month. Users are billed for the number of active accounts they maintained during the preceding month, making the process straightforward and reflective of actual service usage.
A notable feature of Google Workspace’s billing system is proration, which means payments are adjusted proportionally if there are changes in the user count during a billing cycle. For instance, if a user is added and removed during the same month, such as on April 1 and April 15, respectively, the organisation is billed only for half a month’s service for that particular user. This prorated billing ensures that companies are only charged for the service duration they utilised, avoiding fees for unused periods.
Google Workspace offers a tiered set of pricing plans to accommodate a range of business sizes and needs, categorised primarily into Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus, and Enterprise Plus levels. Each plan’s pricing and features are designed to offer increasing levels of storage, collaboration tools, security measures, and support.
The Business Starter plan is the most basic option at approximately USD 7 per user per month with a one-year commitment. It includes 30 GB of pooled storage per user, secure custom business email, introductory AI-powered tools such as the Gemini AI assistant in Gmail, and supports 100-participant video meetings. This level is suitable for small teams requiring fundamental communication and collaboration capabilities alongside standard support.
Stepping up, the Business Standard plan costs about USD 14 per user per month with an annual commitment and offers upgraded storage of 2 TB pooled per user. It unlocks broader AI integration across Gmail, Docs, and Meet, features increased video conference participant limits up to 150 with recording and noise cancellation; eSignature functionality, appointment booking; and enhanced collaboration tools like email layouts and mail merge. This plan targets medium-sized organisations looking for a fuller suite of productivity and AI-enhanced features.
The Business Plus tier at approximately USD 22 per user monthly with annual billing, further increases storage to 5 TB pooled per user and significantly expands meeting capabilities to 500 participants, including advanced attendance tracking and noise suppression. This plan also offers enhanced security controls, including Vault and advanced endpoint management, along with all AI and collaboration benefits of lower-tier plans. It is designed for larger organisations or those with greater security and compliance requirements.
Finally, the Enterprise Plus plan, priced around USD 35 per user per month with a yearly commitment, provides premium service for enterprises demanding expansive storage of 5 TB, very large meeting capacities (up to 1000 participants) with live in-domain streaming, advanced security, management, compliance controls, and enhanced support services. This top-tier level caters to organisations with complex needs in data governance, compliance, and global collaboration.

How Google Workspace Payments Are Calculated
You’re billed for the service that you use per month at the beginning of the following month. For example, if you purchase the Flexible Plan for Business Starter with 7 user accounts in U.S. dollars, you’re billed USD 58.80 at standard pricing (7 users X USD 8.40 per user) at the beginning of the following month. If you keep using 7 accounts, you will continue to be billed USD 58.80 each subsequent month until you change your subscription.
Your payments will be prorated if you add or delete users during any given month. For instance, you will only be charged for half a month of service for a user if you add them on April 1 and remove them on April 15.
You have the option to add credit to your account and pay for your membership in advance rather than every month. Get more information by visiting Make a manual payment or pay early.
