Google Workspace vs Pitch

Pricing

Google Workspace: From $7 per user/mo on an annual plan ($8.40 month to month); 14-day trial

Pitch: Free tier, paid from $8/mo

Description

Google Workspace: Google's business suite: Gmail on your own domain, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Meet, with Gemini built in

Pitch: Collaborative presentations that don't suck

Pros

  • Professional email at your own domain on every plan
  • Business Starter includes 30 GB of storage per user, video meetings for up to 100 people and Gemini in Gmail
  • The Flexible plan bills monthly for the users you have, and you can cancel at any time
  • Beautiful templates
  • Real-time collaboration
  • Modern alternative to Slides/PPT

Cons

  • Business Starter leaves out Gemini in Docs, Sheets, Slides and Drive; those start on Business Standard at $14 per user a month on an annual plan
  • Recording Meet calls needs Business Standard or higher
  • Introductory discounts apply to new customers for the first 12 months only
  • Smaller ecosystem
  • Export limitations

Details

Workspace gives you email at your own domain plus Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Meet under one login. Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, is built into Gmail on every plan and into the other apps from Business Standard up.

Business Starter covers the basics for one person: email, 30 GB of pooled storage per user and meetings for up to 100 people. Business Standard ($14 per user a month on an annual plan) adds 2 TB of storage, meeting recordings, appointment booking pages and eSignature in Docs and PDFs.

The prices on the pricing page assume a one-year commitment. Paying month to month on the Flexible plan costs more: $8.40 per user for Business Starter. New customers also get introductory prices for their first 12 months, on up to 20 users.

Pitch is presentations for people who care about design. Founded by Christian Reber (who built Wunderlist). Had a wild journey: raised $52M VC, then returned the money and went bootstrapped in 2024. Employees now own 80%. Interesting story of de-scaling.
