Google Workspace fine print
- The $7 price is the Annual plan, a one-year commitment for the licences you buy. The Flexible plan is $8.40 per user per month, can be cancelled any time, and charges only for the service used.
- Each user can have up to 30 aliases. For more, Google's advice is to create another account, which is another licence.
- The 30 GB per user is pooled across the organisation and shared between Gmail, Drive and Photos.
- Daily limits run on a rolling 24 hours: 2,000 messages and 10,000 total recipients per user, up to 2,000 recipients per message with at most 500 external. Trial accounts are capped at 500 messages a day.
- Introductory discounts on the first months can apply. The list price applies after.
Emayler fine print
- New Free accounts send from their mailbox address and can add up to three receive-only aliases. Grandfathered Free accounts keep unlimited aliases and alternate sending addresses. Paid plans include unlimited aliases, alternate sending addresses and catch-all.
- Sending switches on after your domain verifies and we approve the account. Paid plans allow up to 100,000 sends a month per account and 100 an hour per mailbox; Free allows 1,500 a month and 20 an hour.
- Yearly plans are charged upfront and can be refunded within 14 days of payment. Cancelling renewal keeps the plan active to the end of the paid period. Renewal price increases come with at least 30 days' notice.
- Mail is kept until you delete it, with no age-based deletion on any plan. IMAP and SMTP access for desktop and phone mail apps is not available yet.
What Google Workspace does better
- Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets and Meet in the same subscription.
- Gmail apps on every phone, plus IMAP and POP for desktop mail clients.
- Higher sending volume: 2,000 messages a day per user against Emayler's 500.
- Gemini AI features inside Gmail.
What Emayler does better
- One account price instead of a per-user fee. Ten mailboxes on Pro cost $120 a year in total.
- Unlimited aliases on paid plans, so billing@, hello@ and support@ cost nothing extra.
- Storage is pooled across the account, so one busy inbox can use what quiet ones do not.
- A Free plan with one mailbox on your own domain and no age-based deletion.
- A 14-day refund window on every payment, including yearly plans.
Which one to choose
Choose Google Workspace if your team lives in Docs, Drive, Calendar and Meet and wants all of it under one login.
Choose Emayler if you want email on your own domain without paying a per-seat price for an office suite you do not use. Emayler is email only. Today it has a web inbox, with no IMAP or SMTP access for desktop or phone mail apps, and no calendar, documents or video calls. Sending switches on after we verify your domain and approve the account.
Switching from Google Workspace
- Keep your domain where it is registered. Your address belongs to the domain, not the provider.
- Add the domain in Emayler and copy the MX, SPF and DKIM records into your DNS. The domain guide covers each one.
- Copy your old mail across with IMAP import while Google Workspace is still active.
- Cancel Google Workspace only after new mail arrives in Emayler and the import finishes.
