Google G Suite Is Now Google Workspace
Tech giant Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) is repackaging its cloud-based productivity tools for business customers. The app suite formerly known as the G Suite is now bringing its 2 billion users under the new Google Workspace banner, positioning the office suite as a more-direct alternative to Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Office.
The change was announced early Tuesday morning in a blog post from G Suite/Workspace vice president Javier Soltero. Google Workspace is not adding any new tools to the G Suite portfolio, sticking with the same 14 included applications and 4 security tools as its predecessor. As before, every plan includes popular applications such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Docs, Sheets, and Meet.
Workspace offers three pricing plans plus custom contracts for enterprise customers. That's up from two distinct pricing plans in G Suite. The plans for $6 and $12 per user per month have been joined by an $18 option, expanding the cloud-based storage per user and adding a handful of account management tools. Under this plan, Google Meet video meetings can host up to 250 participants, up from 100 or 150 attendees for the lower-priced plans.
