Attribute	Gemini in Google Workspace	GPT for Work
Plans	Business Starter A$9.90/user/mo on a 1-year commitment Tiny teams who mainly want email and basic Gemini chat.	StandardOur pick $25/mo One person running bulk jobs.
	Business StandardOur pick A$19.80/user/mo on a 1-year commitment Most small businesses that want AI in their documents.	Business $45/seat/mo Teams sharing a budget.
	Business Plus A$30.90/user/mo on a 1-year commitment Teams needing more storage, Vault and tighter device control.	Enterprise Custom Large organisations.
	Enterprise Custom Large organisations with compliance requirements.
Which plan to pick	Business Standard is the plan to be on. Starter is cheap but leaves out Gemini in Docs, Sheets and Slides, which is the whole point. Only move to Plus if you need Vault or the extra storage, not for the AI.	Standard covers most individuals; watch the usage dashboard on your first big job. Move to Business when several people need it or you want to run it on your own AI account.

Attribute	Gemini in Google Workspace	GPT for Work
Pros	Already inside the apps your team opens every day Answers from your own files, email and calendar Bundled into the Workspace price rather than a separate bill Sheets help is genuinely useful for non-technical people Includes the Gemini app and NotebookLM	Fast bulk processing on very large sheets Choice of AI models, including Claude Works where your data already is Clear usage reporting and spending limits Well rated, long-running company
Cons	Business Starter leaves out the Docs, Sheets and Slides features Slide designs are plain and need a human tidy Writing quality is behind Claude and needs more editing Features and limits change often and vary by plan, which is confusing	Token-based billing makes big jobs on top models hard to predict No ongoing free plan Results across thousands of rows need spot-checking Each plan covers either the Sheets or the Excel add-on, not both
