G Suite Price Hike from 2nd April 2019
G Suite price hike, one of the most discussed topics in the business world today. For over more than a decade Google has been providing a spellbinding update and for the first time, Google decided to raise the price for G Suite Basic and Business.
More than a decade ago Google introduced their corporate emailing service - Google Apps for work for promotion purpose. At that time some entrepreneurs implemented this according to their user count. In the year 2006, Google introduced Paid Editions now popular as G Suite Basic, Business and Enterprise with more additional features for a better emailing experience. For the first time, Google has decided to hike prices for the G Suite Basic and Business editions subject to more bespoke arrangements.
G Suite comes under the auspices of Google Cloud, which recently announced it was taking over more than $1BN in revenue per quarter for the first time but it’s not clear how much revenue will come at the end.

Over the years G suite has grown to provide more tools and functionality to help businesses transform the way they work. The one thing that hasn’t changed over the years is the price. From 2nd April 2019, Google has decided to hike the price for the G suite Basic and Business editions. For the existing G Suite Flexible plan customers, the new price will be effective from 2nd April and those who are on Annual Plan, for them the new price will be effective at the time of their renewal. These changes will not affect if the renewal is on or before 31st March’19.
Google is raising the prices, as mentioned in a recent post of Google, it claims that over the years a dozen of new features have been introduced, including Hangout Meet for video conferencing, Hangout chat for secure team messaging, Cloud search for enterprise-grade search capabilities as well as enhanced Artificial Intelligence in all products of Google. It’s fair to say that Google apps and services have advanced considerably in the decade since the time G Suite launched. That’s paid dividends with the rise of the Chrome OS, which lies on the cloud-centric apps for a compelling alternative to Windows and MACOS. In addition to business schools have been keen adopters of G Suite and Chromebook (with web focused) often easier to manage by administrators.
