<p>Google announced a new free <a href="https://workspace.google.com/essentials/">Google Workspace Essentials</a> plan, in order to use Workspace with a non-Google email address. </p>
<p>The new free plan is essentially the existing entry-level Business Starter plan, </p>
<ul>
<li>with a reduced storage quota of 15 GB (down from 30). </li>
<li>you can use Google Meet with up to 100 users for up to 60 minutes in each call, </li>
<li>get access to Spaces for work collaboration and Chat for gossiping about their co-workers</li>
<li>all of the standard tools like Sheets, Slides and Docs are also included </li>
<li>no Gmail included</li>
<li>there is a cap of 25 users per Essentials Starter team account, but multiple team accounts can be created within the same company</li>
</ul>
<p>With this approach, small business can literally use Google Workspace with limited budget. They can register a domain name for USD 12/year, then signup for this new Essentials plan. If you need business email, <a href="https://www.zoho.com/mail/zohomail-pricing.html?src=hd">Zoho Mail</a> has plan starting at USD 1/month. </p>
