Attribute	Gemini in Google Workspace	Skywork
Plans	Business Starter A$9.90/user/mo on a 1-year commitment Tiny teams who mainly want email and basic Gemini chat.	Free $0 Trying a few tasks.
	Business StandardOur pick A$19.80/user/mo on a 1-year commitment Most small businesses that want AI in their documents.	BasicOur pick $19.99/mo, or $149.99/yr Occasional reports and decks.
	Business Plus A$30.90/user/mo on a 1-year commitment Teams needing more storage, Vault and tighter device control.	Plus $49.99/mo, or $399.90/yr Weekly research and decks.
	Enterprise Custom Large organisations with compliance requirements.	Ultra $249.99/mo, or $1,899.90/yr Heavy daily use.
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 the free credits on a real task first, like a competitor overview deck. If it saves you time, Basic on yearly billing is the cheapest way in. Prices are often discounted, so check the upgrade screen.
