Google has announced a big change to Google Apps for Business. From now, the Google Apps for Business<\/strong> is no longer available for free for new customers. That means existing Business customers can still continue using the service without paying any fee whereas new customers will have to pay $50 per user each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

There will be no change to other products like Google Apps for Education and Google Apps for Government. Google Apps for Education will still be offered for free to schools and universities while the pricing for Government is $50 per user each year. Personal Google Account will not be affected and you still can use Gmail, Google Drive and other apps for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, this change has impacts on Google Apps for Business only. Google explained reasons behind this decision, that they want to simplify offerings for Business and improve user experience, including 24\/7 phone support, 25GB inbox and a 99.9% uptime guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we launched the premium business version we kept our free, basic version as well. Both businesses and individuals signed up for this version, but time has shown that in practice, the experience isn\u2019t quite right for either group. Businesses quickly outgrow the basic version and want things like 24\/7 customer support and larger inboxes. Similarly, consumers often have to wait to get new features while we make them business-ready. <\/em><\/p>(Google<\/a>)\ufeff<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This change makes sense to me because the price is reasonable and if you have a business, you can’t rely on an unsupported service. Greg D’Alesandre, Senior Product Manager of Google App Engine, brought us good news as the Google Apps Standard<\/strong> is still available for free through the App Engine Admin Console. However, it has the limit to only 1 user per account. The free version of Google Apps has become more limited by time. Google allowed the number of users at 100 when it is first launched, then it started dropping to 50, 10 and now only 1 single user. Anyways, a free Google Apps Standard account is still good enough for a lot of users as they just want to create a Gmail account with custom domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update 2019<\/strong>: Now you can no longer create a free account on appengine.google.com. If you decide to use the service, you can visit this website as it is offering G Suite free days and promo code of 20% discount<\/a> for the first year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
