Pricing
| Annual Cost | $50 / user account / year |
|---|---|
| Monthly Plan | $ 5 / user account / month |
| User maximum | unlimited |
The right pricing plan is based on your unique needs. When making a decision, keep in mind the differences between the Flexible and Annual Plans:
- Contract term: there is a one year contract with the Annual Plan and no contract with the Flexible Plan.
- Price: the the Annual Plan is $50/user account/year and the Flexible Plan is $5/user account/month, totaling $60/user account/year.
We have found that contract term is important for companies with a variable workforce. For example, companies that offer vacation services may double in size during the summer months. The Flexible Plan would allow these companies to provide temporary employees with Google Apps and only pay for the service while it’s used. User accounts could be deleted when employees leave at the end of the summer.
