What Google Chat's own pages show
Suits
- Organizations already paying for Google Workspace
- Teams that work in Gmail and want chat in the same window
- Companies moving chat history over from Slack or Teams
Limits worth knowing
- Chat is not sold on its own: a business gets it by paying for a Google Workspace plan that also covers Gmail, Drive and Meet.
- Gemini in Chat is left out of Business Starter, and Google marks some listed features as coming soon or limited to Business and Enterprise plans.
- There is no desktop app: computers use the web interface or Chat inside Gmail, and the apps are for phones and tablets.
- Business Starter, Standard and Plus can be bought for a maximum of 300 users.
