For your Google Workspace subscription, you can choose between 2 payment plans.
Flexible Plan
You’re billed monthly for each user account. You can add and remove user accounts at any time. You pay only for the accounts that you have during a month. You can cancel your subscription at any time without penalty.
For details, go to Flexible Plan .
Annual/Fixed-Term Plan
You commit to purchasing the subscription for a full year or multiple years. Your price depends on the number of user licenses you purchase. If your team grows, you can purchase more licenses and your price goes up. You can reduce licenses only when renewing your plan at the end of the contract. If you cancel your subscription before the subscription renewal date, you’ll be charged for the remaining balance (commitment cancellation fee) of your contract. No refunds are issued if you cancel during your commitment term.
Recommended for:Organizations with a constant or growing workforce.

The plan that’s right for your organization depends on the size and variability of your work force and your plan preferences:
- Annual/Fixed-Term Plan—You commit to paying for one year or more of service for a set number of user licenses.
- Removing users—With the Annual/Fixed-Term Plan, you commit to paying for a minimum number of user licenses, for the length of your contract. You can't reduce the number of licenses until it's time to renew the contract. With the Flexible Plan, you can remove user accounts at any time and your next monthly payment will decrease accordingly.
The Flexible Planmight be best if you have a variable workforce. For example, businesses that provide vacation services might double in size during the summer months. A Flexible Plan allows these companies to provide temporary employees with Google Workspace and only pay for the service while it’s used. User accounts can then be deleted when employees leave at the end of the summer.
The Annual/Fixed-Term Planmight be best if you have a larger workforce and your team is generally growing in size. You can add licenses as your workforce grows. The Annual/Fixed-Term Plan offers the lowest per user per month price compared to the Flexible Plan.
Annual/Fixed-Term to Flexible Plan
You can switch from the Annual/Fixed-Term to the Flexible Plan:
- During your free trial
- When it’s time to renew your subscription
Flexible to Annual/Fixed-Term Plan
You can switch from the Flexible Plan to the Annual/Fixed-Term Plan anytime in the Admin console. When you switch, you must make an annual upfront payment.
