Google applications are everywhere, and chances are, you’ve used at least one of them, whether for personal or professional use. There’s Gmail, the very popular email client widely used around the world; Google Docs, a popular alternative to Microsoft Word; and Google Forms, a very powerful and intuitive only survey solution, just to name a few.
All of these applications are parts of Google Workspace, which is previously known as G Suite and Google Apps.
The majority of Google Workspace applications are available 100% free, and this version is widely used by both individuals and businesses. However, there are also premium plans (called Google Workspace Business) available, which will provide users with additional features unique to the Business editions, enhanced customer support, and better security measures.
In this post, we will discuss how you can easily change your Google Workspace plan.

There are three different Essential editions available:
