Being moved off free Google Workspace?
If your business email has run on a free legacy Google Workspace account for years, you've either had the email or you're about to get it: pay up, or move. Neither has to be a drama — but ignoring it until the deadline will be.
What's actually happening
Your free legacy account is being retired. The choices in front of you:
- Start paying Google for what was free — fine, if the pricing works for your headcount.
- Move to Microsoft 365 — often cheaper per person for small businesses already living in Word and Excel, and it's where most of the Australian small-business world already is.
- Do nothing — until the account locks and your email stops. Not a real option, but it's the one businesses accidentally pick by being busy.
The right answer depends on your business, and we'll tell you honestly which one we'd pick in your shoes — including "just pay Google" if that's genuinely the best move.
The fixed-scope migration
One price, agreed up front, for a complete move.
scope bullets, price (GST-inc headline) and exclusions from the settled migration offer — Ben to supply
Your email keeps working the whole way through. Nothing is deleted until you've confirmed it all arrived.
Why a deadline job needs a plan
Migrations done at leisure are boring, which is the goal. Migrations done the weekend before the cutoff are how attachments go missing and the calendar ends up in someone's personal Gmail. If you've got a date from Google, work backwards from it: scoping, the move itself, and a buffer for the thing nobody predicted.
Tell us your deadline and we'll tell you the latest sensible start date.
What happens after
Move done, you're free to go — no obligation to stay. If you'd like someone keeping an eye on things afterwards, our support packages are month to month and start at $60.50 per user/month inc GST. But the migration price is the migration price either way.
