I would rate pricing a seven. While Google Workspace is cost-effective, Microsoft Exchange (part of Microsoft 365) might seem to offer better value due to the inclusion of widely-used Office applications like Excel and Word. However, the advantages of Google Workspace keep me satisfied with our choice.
The pricing for Google Workspace is quite reasonable at around eight dollars per user per month for the mid-range package and fifteen dollars for the enterprise version. Despite the cost, the productivity and efficiency gains make it a valuable investment. However, there is a slight preference for a lower cost.
Pricing is something concerning. We find the solution very expensive. It's a concern because every time we add a new user, we have to add a license at a per-user price. We consider it expensive. Today, it's our most expensive bill.

You pay for Google Workspace based on your usage and the apps you use, but in my case, it's free, but if I used it a lot more, I'd probably need to pay. 15GB is enough for me, but I see myself upgrading and paying the additional charges for more storage regularly. Every two years, I delete emails I no longer need, and I manage my email inbox. If I need more storage, then I'd have to pay extra.
I do not handle the licensing aspect of the solution. It's not something that I deal with directly. That said, I'd rate it a four out of five in terms of affordability. It's very affordable. It costs less than the Microsoft equivalent, for example.
The pricing is pretty good. It's cheaper than Microsoft. I'd rate it a four out of five in terms of affordability. In the past, we had to buy a Microsoft OneDrive license, and it was very expensive. And we chose G Suite, and the price was very good.

The costs vary. It may be somewhere around 10,000 to 20,000 rupees. It depends on how much the customer plans to use. There isn't a standard license. The cost depends on multiple factors. There are six plans starting from 2,000 rupees, for a standard setup. The features you add will also add to the price.
The price of G Suite Enterprise is reasonable compared to HotSpot. I'm not going to say G Suite Enterprise is affordable. It's valuable, you find value in paying your gas bill or your electricity bill, because of what it allows you to do.
The license is based on the number of users, and it's annual. There aren't any additional costs. Sometimes we have automation people who need to access an email ID, so we allocate the old ID to the new employee.
I would not be able to say how much the company paid for the enterprise solution. But from an end-user perspective, I can say that Google One is reasonable. I know schools and small companies use G-Suite. So if public and non-profit enterprises use it, then I don't think the price is a limitation.

In terms of pricing, I don't deal with that area because it's on the outside. I just basically recommend the solutions we are using. I am not aware of the pricing, other than I believe it is comparable to the majority of the system, but because we have been using it for so long, switching from one to the other is difficult. The pricing is comparable, it's pretty decent. This is why we have been using this solution and haven't switched to anything else.

I would say the pricing is very affordable. To me it's cheaper to run a couple of users in a Google platform than what it would be with Microsoft Exchange. But of course, you've got Microsoft Cloud now, so I'm using that as well because clients require that.

The main challenge regarding startups with identity services is you could be on a platform that works well but the services are expensive. For example, Microsoft Azure costs approximately $30 per user which is expensive. You end up choosing a different platform, such as G Suite Enterprise because it is priced reasonably and is less expensive than other solutions.

This solution is subscription based. We took an annual subscription which costs less than a monthly one. It was pretty affordable. We were choosing between Microsoft and Google. I don't remember which one was more expensive. I think Google was cheaper, and if I'm not mistaken, the price was $6 per user, per month. I'm not aware of any additional costs.

Licensing is complicated, you can't just buy a license and have access to all the packages. You buy a license and get five packages, but then if you need something else it requires another license, it's annoying. I understand why they do it but as a small company, you might want to use the video once or twice a year and it requires purchasing a license for a year just for that. A per-use fee would be better.

The pricing is a bit high. They should offer more licenses that could appeal to a wider variety of companies. We currently have a yearly subscription which we pay.

The cost structure should be adjusted to make it more clear and explain better to users how they are being charged and why. We started with the free version and have since moved to the enterprise offering. I don't have information regarding the exact costs for our company.
I do not know the licensing costs off the top of my head. It's been months since I've looked at it. Due to the fact that we're on a per-user basis, I consider the pricing to be very reasonable. However, it fluctuates up and down with the number of employees.

It's about $8.30 up a user per month. If you want to do archiving, things of that nature, there're additional costs for storage, if you upgrade particular users. So some users may have more storage and there are additional licensing costs for that. It depends on how much more they go beyond normal storage.
The pricing is a bit on the higher side than normal. For a basic Google account it costs $100, but Enterprise is $150. Compared to other solutions on the same level, the pricing seems a bit high.
Similar to G Suite, all Google Workspace plans provide a custom email for your business and include collaboration tools like Gmail, Calendar, Meet, Chat, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Sites, and more.
As we’ve evolved G Suite into a more integrated experience across our communication and collaboration tools, we’ve rebranded to Google Workspace to more accurately represent the product vision.
I'm not satisfied with the cost because I feel these services should be free as they use our data.
