Google announced last month that it plans to make its free "old" G Suite account pay for subscriptions by May 1. The move surprised a group of G Suite users who have been using custom domain services, and now Microsoft is trying to attract G Suite users to pay for Microsoft 365 with a 60 per cent discount.

"if you are a small business that relies on the old free version of G Suite, we can't help but notice that you may be looking for new solutions in the market," said Jared Spataro, director of Microsoft 365. We have a message for you: today, you can get a 60% discount on your 12-month Microsoft basic, Business Standard, or Business Premium subscription, as well as the help you need for migration. "

Microsoft is trying to attract G SUITE users to use OFFICE

Brazen offers are available on Microsoft's website, including support for custom domains, Microsoft Teams access, Office applications, and OneDrive cloud storage. Microsoft also includes an one-year Microsoft 355Business Assist to make it easier for businesses to migrate to Microsoft 365. This offer is only applicable to users of the previous free version of G Suite who have purchased a 12-month Microsoft 365 subscription before August 2, 2022.

However, some old G Suite users may want to wait for Google's new solution. After strong opposition, Google said it planned to "give you an option to move your non-Google Workspace paid content and most of your data to a free option." We are still waiting for Google to provide full details, but it sounds like G Suite legacy users will be able to transition to a free Gmail account without the need for advanced features such as custom email domains or multi-account management.

This is expected to solve some of the headaches of those who rely on a free G Suite account to access the YouTube channel or use that account to make Google Play purchases. For others who use the free G Suite option for home or corporate email accounts on a custom domain, it seems that the only option is to start paying or transfer to a competitor such as Microsoft 365.
