If you're on the Annual Plan/Fixed-Term, you can downgrade editions only after you Switch from Annual to Flexible Plan.
To upgrade from the legacy free edition of G Suite, go here instead.
You can transition your G Suite or Google Workspace subscription to Business Plus edition.
What to know before you switch editions
-
Everyone in your organization gets the same subscription. For example, you can’t transition some users to Business Plus while others keep using the Business Standard edition.
-
If you’re on an Annual/Fixed-Term Plan, the transition includes all of your current users.
-
If you’re upgrading and your current subscription is on the Annual/Fixed-Term Plan with yearly payments, you can switch only to the Annual/Fixed-Term Plan with monthly payments. After you switch, you get a prorated credit for any remaining yearly subscription balance.
-
Only organizations with 300 or fewer users can switch from an Enterprise edition to a Business edition.
-
If you switch editions during your free trial, any unused days apply to your new subscription. For example, if you switch editions on the 10th day of your free trial, the last 4 days of the free trial apply to the new subscription.
-
If you downgrade your edition and lose a feature, such as data loss prevention (DLP) or Google Vault, you can get the feature back if you upgrade within 51 days. Otherwise, you need to wait at least 85 days to upgrade to an edition with the feature.
