Our take
The default if Gmail is already how your team works — pricier than indie options, but the collaboration suite earns it.

Pros
- Gmail interface most people already know

- Strong spam filtering and uptime
Cons
- Per-user pricing scales quickly
- Lock-in to Google's ecosystem
Testing status: we haven't load-tested Google Workspace ourselves yet. This profile is built from vendor documentation, published plan specs and SLAs, and long-running community reports — and the pricing above is verified on the vendor's site, not copied from marketing. See how we test for exactly what that means.
