For example, instead of paying $12 per user/month for a Workspace Business Standard plan without Gemini, customers will now be paying $14 per user/month and get the full Gemini experience too. This seems like an extremely good deal considering that in order to get Gemini Workspace Business Standard plan subscribers had to pay $32 per user/month.
According to Google, these changes are available for new customers starting today. For existing customers, monthly subscription pricing will change starting March 17, or at a renewal date with an Annual/Fixed-term plan, whichever is later.
The Mountain View company also announced that “very small business customers are not subject to pricing changes at this time.” Even so, they will still get the full Gemini experience at the same time.

To summarize, Workspace Business (Standard and Plus) and Enterprise users will get Gemini in Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, Vids and Chat. All users will be upgraded to Gemini Advanced with 1.5 Pro and they will have access to the ability to create custom Gems. NotebookLM Plus will also be available to all subscribers.
These changes only impact Workspace Business and Enterprise plan; Workspace Individual, Education, Google Workspace for Nonprofit and consumer accounts won’t be affected by these changes.
Those who previously purchased a Gemini for Workspace add-on will continue to have access to the add-on’s features, but they will no longer be charged for the add-on subscription after January 31, 2025.
