Plans	Business Starter A$9.90/user/mo on a 1-year commitment Tiny teams who mainly want email and basic Gemini chat.	Free Free Trying it on one or two files.
	Business StandardOur pick A$19.80/user/mo on a 1-year commitment Most small businesses that want AI in their documents.	Plus See website Occasional analysis.
	Business Plus A$30.90/user/mo on a 1-year commitment Teams needing more storage, Vault and tighter device control.	ProOur pick See website People analysing data every week.
	Enterprise Custom Large organisations with compliance requirements.	Business See website Teams sharing data and reports.
		Enterprise Custom Large organisations.
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.	Use Free to test it on your own data. If you analyse numbers most weeks, Pro is the plan most users land on because the cheaper tier's message cap runs out fast.

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	Very easy for people who don't write formulas Charts are clean and ready for a report Fixes its own code errors Saved notebooks make repeat reports quick
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	Vague questions give generic answers, and it sometimes does a different analysis than asked Free plan is very small Pricing and limits have changed often, which makes costs hard to plan Overlaps heavily with file analysis in ChatGPT and Claude
