Don't get too distracted by today's big "AI for Google Workspace" announcement, because this is also the day for a Google Workspace price increase. Last month, Google announced that prices for the most common "business" editions of Google Workspace would increase by 20 percent, and the company would launch an "annual" billing option on March 14. Today's the big day, and with that new billing plan, the higher prices have hit the Google Workspace sign-up page for new users. Existing users will see that 20 percent price increase at some point in the future, too, with the earliest rollout happening in April. If you don't want to pay a bunch more for Workspace, the new Annual plan will let you commit to a year of Workspace at the old rate.
Google's new-ish Workspace branding is kind of confusing. Google used to have a brand name only for the paid, business edition of the Google apps, which come with a custom domain option for your Gmail account. Previously the name was "G Suite," and before that it was "Google Apps for your domain." The new brand, "Workspace," applies to both the paid business accounts and the free consumer accounts, though. So to be clear, the free consumer Google accounts for Gmail and Docs and whatnot are still free, but the three most common business editions—Business "Starter," "Standard," and "Plus"—are all going up in price. Businesses pay for these accounts per user per month, so the pricing can add up quickly.
Annual plans have been available before for businesses via the old-school route of calling a corporate sales rep, but now any business admin will be able to sign up for an annual plan online. Unlike the "Flexible" month-to-month plans, Google's terms for the deal say you'll be locked into the number of users you pick at the beginning of your year, and while you can add new users and pay more, you can't drop them. While you're locked into a year of service, billing is still month to month, and added users will increase your bill going forward, so they're prorated. You're not allowed to cancel the deal early.
