Dear Google Workspace administrator,

We’re writing to inform you of the price change that will go into effect for your Google Workspace Business Standard subscription on or after July 9, 2025. The updated subscription pricing reflects the significant added AI value, as well as the many new features we have introduced and are launching to Google Workspace editions.
