One price for every part of it
A dollar a person a month — or $10.20 a year — for mail, chat, meetings, documents, files and HR together, with 5 GB of storage for each person, their own. Not a starting tier with the useful part sold separately.
Against the big suites
The same everyday tools — and the staff side the big suites leave to a second supplier. Every price is per person, in US dollars, as each company published it on 14 September 2026.

Prices checked on 14 September 2026, each from the company’s own pricing page. Microsoft and Google both sell plans above the two named here. Zimbra sells chat, video and document editing as separate modules on top of the mailbox price rather than inside one plan, which is why those three boxes say so instead of yes or no. Meetowt is free while we are in early access; its figures here are what it costs when that ends, and you get a month’s notice before it does.
