Compare Flexible and Annual/Fixed-Term payment plans

Plan types

Google Workspace offers 2 payment plans.


""

Flexible Plan

You’re billed monthly for each user account. You can add and remove accounts at any time and pay only for the accounts you have during that month. You can cancel service at any time without penalty.

For details, go to Flexible Plan.


""

Annual/Fixed-Term Plan

You commit to purchasing the service for a full year or multiple years. Pricing is based on the number of licenses you purchase. If your team grows, you can purchase more licenses and your monthly rate goes up. You can reduce licenses or monthly payments only when renewing your plan at the end of the contract. If you cancel your subscription before the contract is up, you’ll be charged for the remaining balance (Commitment cancellation fee) of your contract.

Recommended for: Organizations with a constant or growing workforce.

For details, go to Annual/Fixed-Term Plan.

Which payment plan should I choose?

This depends both on the size and variability of your work force and your plan type preferences:

  • Annual/Fixed-Term contract: With the Annual Plan, you commit to paying for 1 year or more of service, while there is no contract with a Flexible Plan.
  • Removing users: With the Annual Plan, you commit to paying a monthly fee for a minimum number of user licenses, for the length of your contract. You can't reduce the number of licenses (and therefore your monthly payments) until it's time to renew the contract. With the Flexible Plan, you can remove user accounts at any time and your next monthly payment will go down accordingly.

The Flexible Plan might therefore be best if you have a variable workforce. For example, businesses that provide vacation services might double in size during the summer months. A Flexible Plan allows these companies to provide temporary employees with Google Workspace and only pay for the service while it’s used. User accounts can then be deleted when employees leave at the end of the summer.

The Annual/Fixed-Term Plan might be best if you have a larger workforce and your team is generally growing in size. You can add licenses as your workforce grows. The Annual/Fixed-Term Plan offers the lowest per user per month price compared to the Flexible Plan.

Can I switch payment plans later?

Annual/Fixed-Term to Flexible Plan

You can switch from the Annual/Fixed-Term to the Flexible Plan:

  • During your free trial
  • When it’s time to renew your subscription

Flexible to Annual/Fixed-Term Plan

You can switch from the Flexible Plan to the Annual Plan in the Admin console. If you are unable to make this change in the Admin console, contact your:
