Is there a no-cost option if I don’t want to upgrade? A no-cost option will be available for all customers who do not want to use Gmail with their custom domain (for example, your-n...@example.com), or the ability to manage multiple users. Customers who choose this option will retain access to the no-cost version of Google Workspace services such as Google Drive and Google Meet, and additional Google services <https://support.google.com/a/answer/181865> such as Google Search, Google Maps, and YouTube. You will also retain access to paid content such as movies purchased in the Google Play Store.
*You'll see a message about the waiting list in your Google Admin console in the coming weeks.* *If you want the no cost option, you need to join this waiting list in the Google Admin console <https://admin.google.com/> before June 1, 2022,* so your account is not automatically upgraded to Google Workspace. *Those on the waiting list will remain on the G Suite legacy free edition until the no-cost option is available.* Once the no-cost option is available, we’ll be in touch with more details on what will happen to your account. You will have 60 days to evaluate the no-cost option or choose Google Workspace before any changes are made to your account. If you change your mind after you join the waiting list for the no-cost option, you’ll still be able to upgrade to Google Workspace at any time.
