Biza Email vs Google Workspace — for teams who don't need 90% of the Workspace bundle
Google Workspace Business Starter is $7.20/user/month — about $86/user/year. Biza Email is $50/year flat for unlimited mailboxes on your domain. The math gets interesting fast.

Honest take
If you need the Workspace bundle, stay on Workspace
We're not trying to replace Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, Meet, and Calendar. If your team lives in those tools daily, the bundled price is reasonable.
- Google Docs, Sheets, Slides — Biza doesn't replace these
- Google Drive — Biza doesn't provide team file storage
- Google Meet — Biza doesn't ship video calling
- Tight Google Calendar integration across third-party apps
The case for switching
When you only need email, you only pay for email
Most teams use 5% of what Workspace bundles. Biza Email ships the email layer — well — without the Workspace markup.
- Flat $50/year vs $7.20/user/month — meaningful savings past 10 users
- Unlimited mailboxes per domain, no seat-tier renegotiations
- EU data residency available for customers who need it
- BIZA App integration for CRM and project context — bundled, not add-on
Migration
Most teams migrate from Workspace in a week
Workspace exposes standard IMAP, which means our migration tooling imports every mailbox cleanly.
- Guided DNS handoff — MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC
- IMAP-based mailbox import preserves folders, labels, read state, attachments
- Run both providers in parallel during the cutover window — no inbox downtime
- Migration support included; no professional-services charge
Frequently asked: Biza Email vs Google Workspace
Can I migrate from Google Workspace cleanly?
Yes. Workspace exposes standard IMAP, so our migration tooling imports messages, folders, labels, read state, and attachments. Most teams migrate within a week, and you can run both providers in parallel during the cutover so nothing drops.
Will I miss Google Calendar or Drive?
Possibly — those aren't part of Biza Email. If your team relies on them daily, Workspace's bundled price is reasonable. Many teams keep a free personal Google account for calendar and use Biza Email for the actual mailbox cost. If you've already moved calendar and documents elsewhere (Notion, Linear, Cal.com), Biza is the cleaner email layer.
How does pricing compare for a 20-person team?
Workspace Business Starter is $7.20/user/month billed annually — roughly $1,728/year for 20 seats. Biza Email is $50/year regardless of team size. Workspace Business Standard ($14/user/month) puts you near $3,360/year. The break-even is roughly your second mailbox.
