As you may be aware, Google is now moving all previous G Suite customers to an equivalent Google Workspace plan.
This means that you will need to move your account over to a package. The new Google packages are slightly different to the previous ones – varying in both features and price.
Here is a simple comparison table of the G Suite Basic plan, compared to the new Google Workspace Business Starter plan.
