Google is providing lead time, with the new Flexible Plan pricing rolling out starting in April of this year and throughout 2024, depending on factors that include number of user licenses, current contract terms, and payment plan. 

Customers will be notified via the Google Workspace Admin Console at least 30 days before their price changes take effect.

Increasing List Price of Enterprise Standard

Google is increasing the list price of Google Workspace Enterprise Standard beginning on April 11, 2023.

Google mentions that this updated price reflects the innovation that Google continues to deliver across their products, which include:

• New features in Meet and Chat that make it easier for hybrid workers to connect, create, and collaborate from anywhere.
• New capabilities in Google Docs, Slides and Sheets that help people and teams create together and get more done.
• New built-in, AI-powered data and threat protection capabilities including automated classification and Trust Rules in Drive and phishing and malware protections in Calendar and Drive.

For Annual/Fixed-term plan customers, these changes will not impact the current contract or any renewal event prior to April 11, 2023. Pricing will go into effect the first time your subscription renews on or after April 11, 2023, depending on plan type, number of users, and any current discounts applied. 

There are no list price changes to the other Enterprise editions, including education upgrades.

Local Currency Pricing Adjustments

Finally, Google is also adjusting some local currency pricing, which is evaluated periodically to maintain alignment with the exchange rates to the US dollar. Customers that will be impacted by any foreign exchange adjustments will be notified in advance.
