Storage is pooled: every licence adds to one shared pool for your company, so a heavy user can use more than their own share.

Subscription only, excluding SST and the one-time RM99 setup fee.
Budget for four things beyond the subscription: a one-time RM99 setup fee, 8% SST, email data migration if you have existing mailboxes (quoted by mailbox count), and a domain — which is free on annual plans. Here's a worked example for a typical 10-person team.

Setup fee (RM99, one-time) — Google Workspace account setup, domain verification and email DNS (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC).
Email data migration — only if you're moving old emails from cPanel, Microsoft 365, Gmail or another provider. Quoted separately in writing.
Domain — free with annual plans. On monthly billing you'll need your own domain.
Should I pay monthly or annually?
Choose annual if your headcount is stable — you get a free domain and a fixed price for the year, but you can't reduce seats or downgrade mid-term. Choose monthly if staff numbers change often, since you can add or remove users any time.

Which Google Workspace plan should a Malaysian SME choose?
Most Malaysian SMEs should choose Business Standard. It adds 2 TB pooled storage per user, shared drives, meeting recordings and Gemini in Docs and Meet. Pick Starter if you only need branded email, and Plus if you need Vault for audits, disputes or compliance.
Starter — 1–10 staff, mostly email and calendar, files kept elsewhere.
Standard — teams that share files, record meetings and want Gemini across apps.
Plus — accounting, legal and regulated firms that must retain email and files.
Are Google Workspace prices in Malaysia inclusive of SST?
No. Prices are quoted in MYR excluding SST. 8% SST is added to the subscription and setup fee on your invoice.
Is there a setup fee?
Yes, a one-time RM99 setup fee for new setups. It covers account setup, domain verification and email DNS configuration. Email data migration is quoted separately.
Is Gemini AI included in the price?
Yes. Gemini is included in Business Starter, Standard and Plus at no extra cost. Starter includes Gemini in Gmail and the Gemini app; Standard and Plus extend it to Docs, Sheets, Slides and Meet.
Can I add users in the middle of an annual plan?
Yes, you can add users at any time. On an annual plan you cannot reduce users or downgrade until the term ends, so start with the seats you're sure about.
Do I get a free domain?
Yes, annual plans include a free domain such as .my, .com.my or .com. Monthly plans do not include a domain.
