Google Workspace pricing: the plans at a glance

Google sells Google Workspace to businesses in four tiers, three with a public per-user price and one through sales. Here is what Google's Singapore pricing page lists at the time of writing, with prices per user per month on monthly billing, excluding tax:

Plan	Price per user a month (before tax)	Pooled storage per user	Video meetings	Highlights, according to Google
Business Starter	S$9.40	30 GB	100 participants	Custom business email, Gemini in Gmail, Google Vids, security and management controls
Business Standard	S$18.80	2 TB	150 participants, with recording and noise cancellation	Gemini in Gmail, Docs, Meet and more, appointment booking pages, eSignature with Docs and PDFs
Business Plus	S$29.40	5 TB	500 participants, with attendance tracking	Vault to retain, archive and search data, Secure LDAP, advanced endpoint management
Enterprise	Contact Google's sales team	5 TB or more	1,000 participants, with in-domain live streaming	Data Loss Prevention, context-aware access, enterprise data regions

A few rules from the same page are worth knowing before you budget:

• Storage is pooled. Google says storage is shared across the organisation, so a heavy user can draw on space a light user does not use.
• User caps. Business Starter, Standard and Plus can be bought for up to 300 users. Enterprise has no minimum or maximum.
• Tax is not included. Prices do not include tax, so add Singapore's 9% GST to your budget.
• Free trial. Google offers a 14-day trial, so you can set up email on your own domain before the first bill.

Google Workspace sits in the business software category alongside suites such as Microsoft 365 and Zoho Workplace. Each has different strengths, so compare the features your team will actually use.

How much does Google Workspace cost for a small business?

The total depends on your plan and headcount: multiply the per-user price by the number of people who need their own account, then add GST. Here are worked examples using Google's monthly-billing prices at the time of writing:

Team	Plan	Monthly before GST	Monthly with 9% GST	12 months with GST
3 people	Business Starter	S$28.20	S$30.74	S$368.86
5 people	Business Standard	S$94.00	S$102.46	S$1,229.52
10 people	Business Starter	S$94.00	S$102.46	S$1,229.52
10 people	Business Standard	S$188.00	S$204.92	S$2,459.04
20 people	Business Plus	S$588.00	S$640.92	S$7,691.04

Two things stand out. Ten people on Business Starter cost the same as five on Business Standard, so the right plan is about features, not just headcount. And because Google says annual commitment saves 16%, a team that will not shrink during the year usually pays less over 12 months on the annual plan than on these monthly figures.

Which plan suits a small business?

• Business Starter suits teams that mainly need branded email, shared calendars, Docs and short video calls, and do not store large files.
• Business Standard suits teams that record meetings, share large files such as video or design work, or want Gemini across Docs and Meet. It is the plan Google marks as most popular.
• Business Plus suits teams with record-keeping needs, since Vault lets you retain, archive and search company data, or teams that need meetings for up to 500 people.

Google Workspace pricing in Singapore for 2026

Google's Singapore pricing page shows all prices in SGD, so a Singapore business can budget without converting from US dollars. Google bills the per-user price for each person on the plan, and GST appears on the invoice. If your business is GST-registered, speak to your accountant about how the GST on software subscriptions is treated in your books.

Two choices change your bill the most:

1. Billing. Google offers flexible monthly billing and a one-year commitment, which its pricing page says saves 16%. Monthly billing makes it easy to add or remove people; the annual plan rewards a stable team.
2. Who gets a paid seat. Every person with their own account counts. Before you sign up, list who needs their own login and who can share access to a team calendar or document instead.

The cheapest way to pay for Google Workspace: tips for Singapore businesses

The cheapest setup is the lowest plan that does the job, the right billing cycle for your team, and going through ShopBack Singapore before you sign up. Practical ways to keep the bill down:

• Start small. Begin on Business Starter if you are unsure. Moving up later is simpler than paying for features you never use.
• Pay only for the people who need accounts. Each person with their own login is a paid user.
• Pick the right billing. Annual if headcount is stable, monthly if you expect to hire or let people go during the year.
• Use the 14-day trial properly. Set up your domain, move a few mailboxes and test Meet before the first bill lands.
• Watch for Google's introductory offers. See the next section.
• Go through ShopBack before you subscribe. It lowers the effective price of the sign-up after you pay.

Google Workspace official deals

Google sometimes runs introductory discounts for new Google Workspace customers, and it shows them on its pricing page with the plans, period and conditions. At the time of writing, Google's page says its introductory price is for new customers only, applies to a limited number of users for a set period, and that standard pricing applies to all users afterwards. The exact discount and dates change, so read the conditions on the pricing page on the day you sign up.

Timing tips:

• Check the pricing page before you start your trial. An introductory offer can make the first months noticeably cheaper.
• Plan headcount around the offer limits. If the offer covers only the first users added, budget for standard prices for anyone beyond that.
• Note when standard pricing starts, so the jump in your bill is not a surprise.

Paying less for Google Workspace through ShopBack Singapore

Before you sign up for Google Workspace, go through ShopBack Singapore. For merchants like Booking.com, Trip.com, Agoda and Expedia, going through ShopBack is an essential step before you book or check out, so you pay less on the same booking or order. The same step applies to software sign-ups such as Google Workspace. ShopBack lowers the effective price of flights, hotels and online orders after you pay.

Your effective cost is what you pay minus the Cashback, at the rate shown on ShopBack's Google Workspace page.

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.

Card rewards and ShopBack on a Google Workspace plan

You can often earn your credit card's rewards and use ShopBack on the same Google Workspace sign-up, because they come from different places. Your bank pays rewards on what it charges you; ShopBack returns cash on a sign-up made after you go through its Google Workspace page. Some card promotions exclude software subscriptions or recurring charges, and some business cards treat them differently, so check your card's terms before you rely on the rewards.

Step by step: setting up Google Workspace for less

1. Count the people who need their own account.
2. Pick the plan using the table above, starting low if unsure.
3. Check Google's pricing page for any introductory offer and its conditions.
4. Open the Google Workspace page on ShopBack Singapore and tap through.
5. Start the trial and set up your domain.
6. Choose monthly or annual billing before the trial ends.
