Google Workspace Introduces AI Features; Pricing Increases Across All SKUs
Starting in mid-March 2025, Google Workspace will implement new pricing across all SKUs and integrate Google AI features (Gemini for Workspace) directly into its Business and Enterprise plans. This update signals the end of the standalone Gemini SKU, consolidating AI capabilities into the core Workspace experience. Here’s what you need to know about the pricing changes and how they may impact your subscription.
| Change | Details |
|---|---|
| New Pricing Across All SKUs | Starting March 17, 2025, Google Workspace plans will reflect updated pricing, aiming to balance AI-powered tools like Gemini and ongoing feature innovations. |
| Gemini Features Rolled into Workspace | AI features such as Help Me Write, AI-generated meeting notes, and NotebookLM Plus will be integrated into the core Workspace offering, eliminating the need for a separate Gemini add-on. |
| Standalone Gemini SKU Discontinued | All standalone Gemini subscriptions will cease, and billing will stop. Users on commitment plans will retain existing Workspace prices until their renewal, while flexible plan users will see immediate price adjustments in March. |
| Workspace Edition | Annual Plan (USD) | Flexible Plan (USD) Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Business Starter | $7.00 | $8.40 |
| Business Standard | $14.00 | $16.80 |
| Business Plus | $22.00 | $26.40 |
| Enterprise Standard | $27.00 | $32.40 |
| Enterprise Plus | $35.00 | $42.00 |
This pricing takes effect for new customers on January 16. Google says “Price changes for existing Google Workspace subscriptions will begin no sooner than March 17, 2025.”
