What you can try during the trial
The Google Workspace email and apps experience will be almost identical for anyone who has used consumer Gmail and its related productivity tools. During the trial, up to 10 users get the same apps a paid account gets on the plan you choose. They include:
- Gemini – Google’s generative AI assistant, built into Gmail on every plan and into Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, and more on Business Standard and above
- Gmail – includes Tasks, Contacts, and Keep
- Calendar – with built-in online appointment booking
- Docs – a sophisticated document editor with pageless functionality
- Sheets – powerful spreadsheets that can connect to external data sources
- Slides – presentations that can include audio, video, and charts from Sheets
- Vids – create AI-assisted videos for training, announcements, and updates
- Drawings – quickly create diagrams that you can share or insert into Docs
- Drive – secure file sharing with sophisticated admin controls
- Meet – video conferencing, all inside the browser
- Chat – instant messaging with anyone who has a Google account
- Spaces – collaborate with team members on a wide variety of topics
- Forms – for polls, surveys, and website visitor conversion to leads
- Sites – create microsites or intranets to share content internally or publicly
- My Maps – publicly share and embed maps with pins of customer locations, for example
- Voice – an optional cloud-based telephone system for your organization (not included with base price)
Your users can access these software apps from anywhere on their mobile devices. Suppose users need to send and receive files in Microsoft formats, such as Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, and PowerPoint presentations. In that case, Google Workspace allows for converting to and from those file formats in almost all cases.

Who can start a free trial
Google gives the trial to new customers who sign up online for a Business edition. You don't need a domain to start. Google lets you sign up with a personal Gmail or business email address, or verify a domain to get more features. If you don't own a domain yet, you can buy one during sign-up. Google notes that the domain costs extra and isn't part of the Workspace subscription.
| Sign up with | What it means | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| A personal Gmail address | The quickest start. No domain needed. | Canceling follows a separate Gmail-account process in Google's help. |
| A business email address | You sign in with the address you already use at work. | No domain verification needed for a Business edition. |
| A domain you own or buy | Unlocks more features, including email at your own domain. | Verify the domain within 9 days, or Google cancels the trial. |
Which plans come with a trial
Google's sign-up guide lists three Business editions. Each one starts with the same 14-day, 10-user trial. If you switch editions partway through, the unused trial days carry over to the new plan. Switch on day 10 and you still get the last 4 days.
Not sure which one fits? The Google Workspace plan picker asks a few questions and points you to a plan. Schools and nonprofits might qualify for special editions that are free or discounted.
How to start the trial, step by step
Choose a Business edition
Starter, Standard, or Plus. You can switch later in the trial without losing days.
Enter your email or domain
Use a Gmail address, a business email address, or a domain. If you need a domain, you can search for one and buy it on the sign-up form.
Complete the payment setup
Google requires this before you can use Workspace. Your payment method isn't charged until the trial ends. If someone gave you a promotion code and you're in the U.S., Canada, or EMEA, Google's referral FAQ says to enter it here, in the Promotion Code field, before you check out.
Add up to 10 users
Create accounts for your team and try the apps together. Adding an 11th user ends the trial and starts billing for everyone.
Verify your domain if you used one
You have 9 days. This step doesn't apply if you signed up for a Business edition with your business email address.
Keep an eye on the clock
In the Admin console, go to Billing > Subscriptions to see how many trial days are left.

What happens to billing after the trial
Google doesn't charge you during the trial. If you already added payment details, you don't have to do anything when it ends. The paid subscription starts on its own and your service keeps running. What happens next depends on what you set up:
| Your situation | What Google does |
|---|---|
| Billing is set up | Paid service starts automatically for all users. |
| Billing isn't set up | The account is suspended until you set up billing. |
| No billing and no verified domain | The account is deleted. |
| You canceled during the trial | You aren't charged. |
After the trial you pay per user for the plan you picked. Google bills your payment method automatically each month. For current prices, see Google's pricing page or our Google Workspace pricing guide.
How to cancel the trial
You can cancel during the free trial without being charged. Google deletes your users' Workspace data after you cancel, and you can't get it back, so download anything you want to keep first.
Export your data
Save the Gmail messages, Calendar events, and Drive files you want to keep. Google points to its Data Export tool for this.
Open Billing > Subscriptions
In the Google Admin console, go to Menu > Billing > Subscriptions. You need the Billing management privilege.
Click Cancel Subscription
Click your subscription, then Cancel Subscription. On some accounts it's under More. Pick a reason and click through the confirmation screens.
Confirm with your email address
Enter your email address and click Cancel My Subscription.
If you signed up with a personal Gmail address, Google has separate cancel steps for Gmail accounts.
Free editions
Schools and nonprofits might be eligible for special editions of Google Workspace that are free or discounted. Those have their own sign-up process.
Migrating from other platforms
If you need help migrating email, calendar, contacts, and more from other platforms, Business Standard and above include the Google Workspace Migrate tool, and other tools, and data migration experts are available. There is also an extensive partner network available for assistance with setting up and managing Google Workspace.
Google Workspace free trial FAQ
Is there a Google Workspace promo code?
Not one you can copy from a website. Google's referral program FAQ says promotion codes can't be posted publicly and have to go to each referral one at a time, and each code works for one customer. So this page doesn't list codes. The Try it now buttons on this page use a Google Workspace referral link instead.
Can I sign up with a Gmail address?
Yes. Google says you can sign up with a personal Gmail or business email address, or verify a domain to get more features. You can use a domain you already own or buy one during sign-up.
Do I need to add a payment method?
Yes. Google requires you to complete the payment setup before you can use Workspace, but your payment method isn't charged until the free trial ends.
What happens when the 14 days are up?
If you added billing details, your paid subscription starts automatically and service keeps running. If you never set up billing, Google suspends the account. If you also never verified your domain, Google deletes it.
Can I cancel during the trial?
Yes. Google says you can cancel during the free trial and you won't be charged. Go to Billing > Subscriptions in the Admin console. Download any data you want to keep first, because Google deletes your users' Workspace data after you cancel.
Can I add more than 10 users during the trial?
Only by ending it. When you add an 11th user, Google prompts you to end the trial, and paid service starts for every user.
