First in our updates, we are introducing an Annual Plan option for all editions available through our website. Annual Plans are great for organizations ready to commit to a longer-term agreement, and allow customers the ability to lock in the lowest per-user price. 

Second, we are increasing the price of Flexible Plan subscriptions. Flexible Plans offer customers the option to pay as they go, with no commitment, and provide customers the option to add or delete user accounts at any time, offering added flexibility for businesses with a variable-size workforce. Starting March 14, 2023, new customers will be able to sign up for the new Annual Plan purchase option through our website, and existing customers on the Flexible Plan can switch to the Annual Plan in the Admin Console. The updated list prices for Google Workspace Business editions will be:

Workspace Edition	Flexible Plan	Annual Plan
Business Starter	$6.00 $7.20 USD	$6.00 USD
Business Standard	$12.00 $14.40 USD	$12.00 USD
Business Plus	$18.00 $21.60 USD	$18.00 USD

* All pricing is per user, per month.

Third, we are increasing the price of Google Workspace Enterprise Standard to reflect the value we’ve added to the edition, including industry-leading security controls and administrative features designed for large enterprises. There are no list price changes to the other Enterprise editions, including education upgrades. Customers should connect with their account managers if they have questions.

FYI - In case you haven't seen this announcement yet !

It would be great if the packages can be purchased for each user/ or allow a specific user to purchase more storage space. For example in a small company lets say 10 employees the admin/owner may need more storage space (beyond 30GB) whereas all remaining employees are fine to be on a Business Starter package. At present the admin/owner needs to upgrade to the next package Business Standard for all its employee (if they need more than 30GB storage themselves) which is expensive and will lead to ppl looking at other options eg Microsoft 365 which offers 1 TB as standard to Basic Business users along with other similar products (Teams, Word, Excel, phone support etc)
