Business editions

Professional office tools for up to 300 users

Google Workspace offers these subscription options for small to medium-size organizations. You can use any Business edition with your domain or with only a business email address. If you sign up with a business email address and no business domain, some features, such as Gmail and Google Calendar, aren’t available unless you later verify your domain. This article describes the features that you can use if you verify your domain.

Learn about each edition and sign up below. You can also purchase any Business edition through Google Sales or a local reseller.

Pooled storage is granted in stages:

  • At the time of purchase, you get part of your storage. 
  • As you make timely payments for your subscription, your storage increases up to your total storage limit. It can take up to 72 hours after a payment for your storage to increase.
