Yet another service not available to Google Apps users. :/ "You can only set up a family group with a personal Google Account, not a Google for Work or Google for Education account"
This reason made me to create new gmail account in order to use Project Fi. I really don't understand why Google releases product for gmail user only. They advertised google apps for work as custom domain at first.
Does anyone have insight into Google's strategy on all these subscription services? Is it to legitimize previous tech endeavors to make sure they're sustainable in the long term? Does Google forecast subscription services will make up a sizable portion of revenue in the future? Is the experience better at Google than anywhere else due to the vast amount of data and new technology being created everyday? I'm not sure…

Note, 1B users today in 2015. Still growing at 40% according to their stats page. Pretty decent math.

With ad revenues drying up (Adblock, general lack to interest to ads) Google is forced to look at other avenues to make money and selling stuff to people is a great way for that.
Haven't their revenues been going up despite the CPC going down?
Yet another service not available to Google Hosted domains.
I run my own domain, happily pay for it, for 1TB of storage for Photos, for Google Play Music, for apps, for films.
But yet constantly excluded from some services and features, and never knowing whether some features will even come to my account.
Seemingly all because I wanted to keep the same email I've had since 1997.
They could easily add this capability, default disabled, to the domain management page.
Edit: Has anyone tried it the other way around? What if I associate my credit card to my wife's regular gmail account and get the family plan there, could we add accounts that belong to Google Hosted domains to a family created via gmail? Or is the definition of family purely gmail users?

Makes sense actually. Google Apps is for work users so you don't want to share it with your family I guess. I'm using Google Apps actually but I don't expect Google allow me to share my account with my family.
And even if, as you say, it is "for work", why does Google force that decision upon me, the owner/operator/admin/sole employee of my one man organization? Why can't it just be a check box that says "I really just want a custom domain. Please let me use the cool things you make"?
It's infuriating. I have no problem paying $5/month just for a custom domain on a standard Gmail account, but it's not possible. This is the only other option, and if I had known how much frustration it would cause I'd never have used my Apps account as my primary for the past years as I now have numerous purchases, domains, email archives, photos, and so on attached to it.

1B YouTube users times 10% subscribe times $10/mo. Note, 1B users today in 2015 . Still growing at 40% according to their stats page. Pretty decent math.
But by claiming Google will hit 100M users paying $10 per month seems lofty unless there's something really unique about an ad free Youtube experience. Netflix has under 40M subscribers paying ~$8 per month right now.

It's gotten so that any time I see something new from Google, the first thing I do is check if I can even use it. Often I am disappointed. I still can't use Fi, and Google Now is almost useless because it refuses to use my email to customize itself.
