Google Workspace Bundles Gemini into All Plans with 17-22% Price Increase — No Opt-Out, Standalone Add-On Discontinued

AppXite·high signal

Google forced a 17-22% price increase across all Workspace Business and Enterprise tiers in 2025, bundling Gemini AI with no AI-free discount option and discontinuing the standalone add-on. This forces all 3+ billion Workspace users onto AI-inclusive pricing, directly threatening standalone collaboration, productivity, and writing SaaS tools that now compete against a bundled incumbent feature effectively priced at zero marginal cost for existing customers.
