What editions does Google Workspace for Education offer?
Google Workspace for Education offers Education Fundamentals to all qualifying institutions at no cost (free). For those that want more premium features, Google also offers paid editions including Education Standard, the Teaching and Learning Upgrade, and Education Plus.
How much does each edition within Google Workspace for Education cost?
Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals is free for all qualifying institutions. Education Standard, the Teaching and Learning Upgrade, and Education Plus are paid editions.
For pricing information and specific features included in each of the Google Workspace for Education editions, please visit our comparison chart.
Can I still buy G Suite Enterprise for Education?
G Suite Enterprise for Education (now known as Google Workspace for Education Plus) will still be available at current pricing until April 2021. At that point, customers seeking a comprehensive and comparable solution for their institution should consider the Education Plus edition.
For institutions purchasing individual G Suite Enterprise for Education licenses, the annual MSRP is:
$48/user/year for faculty and staff
$48/user/year for students*
*G Suite Enterprise for Education licenses will be complimentary for students if the following conditions are met:
- The faculty/staff-to-student ratio of licensing must be 1:10 or less.
- As long as all faculty and staff continue to have G Suite Enterprise for Education accounts.
Important: A G Suite Enterprise for Education “Full-domain license” is licensed on a per user basis. It is not equivalent to a “Site License” where every user in your domain is automatically granted an Enterprise license. Please carefully review the number of users you would like to assign a license to ensure they receive access to the premium functionality.
Are there differences in storage across editions?
All editions provide schools with 100TB of storage shared across the institution. Additional storage is provided with the Teaching and Learning Upgrade and Education Plus editions based on the number of licenses purchased. Please review our comparison chart for more details or visit our Help Center.
Can I have more than one edition at the same time?
It depends and varies based on the intended combination of editions.
You must have an Education Fundamentals edition to upgrade to any of the other editions (Education Standard, the Teaching and Learning Upgrade, or Education Plus).
You cannot have Education Plus in combination with Education Standard or the Teaching and Learning Update — only Education Fundamentals.
You can have a combination of Education Standard and the Teaching and Learning Upgrade at the same time. Although we believe the maximum value of those combined editions can be realized in Education Plus, we wanted to be as flexible as possible to school community needs.
Can I upgrade/downgrade between the editions?
All paid Google Workspace for Education editions are annual subscriptions, and pricing is locked for the duration of the subscription term.
Customers who purchase the Teaching and Learning Upgrade can add Education Standard at any time (and vice versa) and to Education Plus.
Customers can reevaluate continuing with their subscription or downgrade at the end of their subscription term.
What is the duration of a paid Google Workspace for Education subscription?
All paid Google Workspace for Education editions are annual subscriptions, and pricing is locked for the duration of the subscription term.
Will schools that previously purchased G Suite Enterprise for Education automatically get access to all new features that come with Google Workspace for Education Plus?
Yes, all customers who have purchased G Suite Enterprise for Education will receive new features and functionality that are released to the new Google Workspace for Education editions.
Is it possible to trial the paid Google Workspace for Education editions?
Yes, our authorized Google Workspace for Education partners can provision 60 day trials for Education Plus, Education Standard, and the Teaching and Learning Upgrade. 50 licenses are provided for the trial.
