What are some (paid) alternatives to using G-Suite for emails? Context: We're a small but relatively old SaaS company. Been happily using G Suite's free tier since day 1 - only for email. This announcement is a tad disappointing, but as other commenters have said, 10 years of a free product is pretty great. We'll likely upgrade to Google's paid tier, but out of curiosity, since we're switching to a paid service, we m…

Same here, and I'm running it for extended family so I'm not planning to take on the cost (and neither are they). I need to find a nice alternative for email with my domain that's going to work for us and not cost me a fortune. I'm not even massively concerned about Play Store purchases, I barely use any paid apps anymore anyway I can buy them again if I have to. Since the domain was also bought through GSuite, how d…
I’ve found Zoho to be fantastic. They offer good value, some extra shit if you want it, and you can bring your own domain. I think it’s about $35 USD a year.

Am I wrong or are you paying that $6/mo for having the gmail UI in front of your custom domain? Doesn't really seem like nothing.
You can have this exact thing cheaper if you set up a server and forward your mail to Gmail. And you'll also have a server to host a website or whatever else.

Agreed.. do you know where you will end up migrating to? I looked into FastMail a long time ago, at that time it was the best replacement for just the Gmail component with custom domain, not sure if it still is.
I moved from gsuite to fastmail about 6 months ago I'm pretty wary of any "automatic import from $previous_service" tools (having been bitten in the past) so I ran the fastmail importer against my user's accounts, then later reconciled this against the gmail/fastmail APIs with my own code ... it was completely byte-for-byte perfect (other than "muted" conversations, which weren't imported at all, that I dealt with se…
Time to pay the dealer... What did anybody expect?
I knew something like this would probably come, but it doesn't make it any better. Complete BS. 16 years ago me and my friends signed up for "GMail for your domain". That's it. We wanted to use GMail, which was by far the best email available at the time, and have email addresses at our own domain instead of @gmail.com. That's it. Since that time several of us have been using our GFYD/GSuite/Workspaces accounts as ou…
It's always been remarkable to me how badly Google shits on the people that are obviously its biggest boosters. I was personally responsible for multiple paid Google Workspace accounts. I can't imagine it makes financial since for them to axe the grandfathered plans. As a free service, it was bearable that my custom account was a little flaky, but there is no way I'm going to pay for a shittier version of their free product. On top of that, now I have to figure out if it's possible to transfer movie/app purchases. Thanks a fucking ton, Google.
I'm not going to pay $6/user/mo just to do that, and I don't think any of them (all adults at this point) would either.
If I could get up an email forwarding without needing a paying user, I'd probably move to Business Starter for a user or two. I've not reconfigured any users in there for about 6 years, so I have to look to see if this is possible.
Mods: maybe a merge to this one since it's the 'official' Google post
