Google Workspace Update: Gemini AI Integration & Price Adjustments

Starting January 15, 2025, all Google Workspace users will have access to Gemini AI features. All licenses will now include integrated Gemini AI features, with the specific capabilities varying by license tier/type.

While you'll no longer need to pay a separate fee for accessing Gemini AI features, the overall cost of your Google Workspace subscription will increase. This price adjustment applies to all subscriptions, even if you choose not to utilize the integrated Gemini AI features.

The price adjustment for new Google Workspace customers who made direct purchases was effective immediately. 

For existing customers, Interlock IT customers, and those working with other Google partners, the price increase takes effect on March 17, 2025 or later, when your Annual Plan or multi-year contract renews.

Fleeting Opportunities: Don’t Miss Out!

If you are considering upgrading your Google Workspace subscription or switching from a Flexible to an Annual Plan, we recommend taking action before March 14th, 2025.

If your business subscription is currently on the Flexible Plan, you may want to consider switching to an Annual Plan. Although the Flexible Plan offers a month-to-month cost adjustment based on active accounts, many small businesses find that an Annual Plan provides significant cost savings.
