Google Workspace vs. Office 365?

Every business needs email, communications, and productivity tools.

Unlike your @gmail.com or @outlook.com email, both Workspace and Office 365 offer your business a professional email address branded with your company name: mail@yourcompany.com

Workspace and Office 365 are both great cloud productivity suites. They both enable your business to collaborate, store files online and easily share them. They both free you to work from anywhere using different devices.

Workspace includes Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, Keep, Hangouts, and other Google apps that you probably already use and love.

Microsoft’s Office 365 includes Outlook, OneDrive, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, One Note, Skype, and other Microsoft apps that you are already familiar with.

Workspace starts at $6 per user, per month and Microsoft 365 starts at $5 per user, per month. However, the two base plans are not totally comparable for those looking for business email, since the lowest-tier Microsoft plan doesn’t include Outlook. If you need Outlook the monthly cost is $12.50.

As for which one is better for your company, well that comes down to which platform you are more familiar with. Google Workspace is a better choice for small business owners. It is much easier to use, their web and mobile apps are excellent, a simple admin control panel with tons of documentation. As a small business owner, this alone will save you time when adding employees and managing accounts.

Office 365 is more suitable for enterprise-level businesses where all employees work from an office using a Windows PC. Their downloadable licensed desktop apps are excellent especially if you are in a Windows ecosystem.
