Ask Slashdot: Best Google Workplace (G Suite) Alternatives?

t0qer writes: So, I recently got an email that my [free edition G Suite subscription] will be going away soon (July 2022) and I'll have to subscribe for $6 per user per month. My domain is just my family last name and I have a few accounts for my immediate wife and kids. I'm not really sure if that's worth spending the money on for hosted email. I do use other parts of the suite (Drive, Sheets, and Docs) but I can happily use other products for that. Just wondering if any /.'ers are in the same boat and what they're thinking of moving to? As a recap, Google announced in mid-January that all 'G Suite Legacy Free Edition' (now formally called Google Workspace) users will be required to start paying for Workspace this year. This decision generated a ton of backlash, even prompting a potential class-action lawsuit. Now, the company appears to be backing down from most of the harsher terms of the initial announcement by allowing legacy G Suite users the ability to migrate to free accounts. They're also 'promising a data-migration option (including your content purchases) to a consumer account before the shutdown hits,' reports Ars Technica.

Still, it may be time to switch to a different service... Some alternatives include Office 365 Business, Zoho Workplace, Bitrix24, and Rackspace. Do you have a favorite?
