Upgrade from Free edition to G Suite

If you're using the legacy free edition of Google Apps, you can get more business features by upgrading to G Suite. Try G Suite for free for up to 10 users (or for all your existing users). Your free trial period starts when you upgrade. Before your trial ends, you must either set up billing to keep using the paid version of G Suite. Or downgrade to go back to using the free version of Google Apps.

To go back to your free account:

Downgrade before your free trial expires
Don't add more than 10 users during your free trial. What if I already have more than 10 users?

Step 2: Upgrade to the free trial

After deciding which edition you want, follow steps below to upgrade to the free trial.

Upgrade to G Suite Basic trial

Sign in to your Google Admin console.
Sign in using your administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).
From the Admin console dashboard, go to Billing.
Next to your Google Apps subscription, click Upgrade to G Suite.
Fill out the form to upgrade to G Suite Basic.
This starts your free trial of G Suite Basic.
(Required) Before your free trial ends, set up billing or downgrade.

Upgrade to G Suite Business trial

Follow steps above to upgrade to the G Suite Basic free trial.
On the Billing page, under Available upgrades and next to G Suite Business, click Find out more.
Review the upgrade notice. Then click Get started.
Select Trial plan.
If you don't see the Trial plan option, your free trial period has expired. You therefore don't have the option to try G Suite Business for free.
Accept the terms of agreement.
This continues your free trial using G Suite Business.
(Required) Before your free trial ends, set up billing or downgrade.

Step 3: Before your trial ends, set up billing or downgrade

Before your free trial period ends, do one of the following to avoid losing access to your account:

Set up billing

Set up billing before your free trial ends to keep using G Suite. Setting up billing early won't end your free trial unless you add more than 10 users during the trial. You won't be charged until your trial ends or you add more than 10 users. In fact, we recommend entering your billing information well before the end of your trial so your service isn't suspended. For pricing and payments, see G Suite Billing basics.

Go back to the Free edition

Downgrade to Legacy Free edition to go back to using Google Apps for free.

You can only return to the Free edition during your free trial.

You can't downgrade back to the Free edition if:

Your free trial expires
You set up billing and add more than 10 users during your trial
You never upgraded from the Free edition
You cancel your subscription entirely

Tip: If you added an additional domain during your trial, remove it before downgrading.

Questions

What if I already have more than 10 users before upgrading?

If you're using the legacy Free edition of Google Apps with more than 10 users, you can still try G Suite for free and keep the option to downgrade. Just don't set up billing or add any more users during your trial. If you set up billing or add more users during your trial, you'll lose the option to downgrade and will have to continue with a paid edition of G Suite.

Can I upgrade only some of my users?

No. Everyone in your domain must upgrade. You can't upgrade some users to use business features while others continue using the legacy Free edition of Google Apps.
