Nubo and Google Workspace: what is different

This post compares Nubo Suite with Google Workspace for teams deciding between them, using only facts we can date and link: plans, prices, storage and included apps. We make Nubo, so read the comparison with that in mind and check each figure yourself.

Choosing between suites is hard because the marketing is written to sound similar. This post is our attempt at a plain comparison between Nubo Suite and Google Workspace. We are the maker of one of them, so you should read it with that in mind. To make it checkable, we have limited it to things we can show, each dated and linked, and we have said where we do not know.

What this is not. It is not a claim that Nubo is better than Google Workspace at everything, or a claim of parity. Google Workspace is a large, mature product used by many organisations, with a wide partner and add-on ecosystem. Nubo is newer. Whether it suits you depends on your needs.

How we gathered the facts

• Google Workspace figures were read on 21 October 2026 from Google’s own pricing page for India, at workspace.google.com/pricing, viewed from a browser located in India. Google’s prices, plans and promotions vary by country and change often. We did not read the United States page directly, so we do not quote US prices; check the page for your country on the day you decide.
• Nubo figures come from the product and its documentation. For Nubo plan prices and storage limits, we do not repeat numbers in this post, because they are kept in one place and updated there. Please see the pricing page.
• Where we do not know something, we say so.

What each is, in a sentence

Google Workspace is a subscription that bundles Gmail with a custom domain, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet and Chat, with administrator controls and, on higher plans, more storage and larger meetings.

Nubo Suite is a subscription that bundles mail on an @nubo.email address, calendar, contacts, files, documents, spreadsheets, team chat and video meetings, plus business apps such as CRM, invoicing, accounting, projects, tasks, time tracking, help desk and e-signature, in a single account.

Plans and storage: what we could verify

Google, India page, read 21 October 2026. Prices are per user per month, shown without tax (the page says GST is extra) on the annual-commitment view billed monthly.

The same page also showed a Base plan limited to 20 users, at lower prices. Plan names and numbers have changed in the past and will change again.

For Nubo, the equivalent view is the pricing page. It lists the plans, what each includes, and the storage allowance for each. Nubo’s storage is shared across all the apps in an account rather than being allocated per app.

We deliberately do not put the two side by side in a single table of prices. Plans differ in what they bundle, and a table of the cheapest line against the cheapest line would mislead. The honest comparison is to list what you need, then price it on each side.

What is included: the app list

This table lists categories. A tick means the suite has an app in the category; it does not say anything about how deep it is.

Google’s table entries reflect Google’s app listing as we read it; we have not tested their features in detail. Google also sells many additional products and has an extensive marketplace that adds the missing categories. The question to ask is whether you would prefer to assemble those from several vendors or have them in one account.

Where the two approaches differ

Breadth versus depth. Google’s core apps are deep and have a long history. Nubo’s strength is the number of business tools in one account. If your team lives in Docs and Sheets with heavy co-editing and add-ons, test that part carefully on Nubo before deciding.

Where data lives. In Nubo, files and app data are stored under your own account and shared by you with the people you choose, and we do not sell your content or use it for advertising. We explain what that does and does not mean in this post. Google publishes its own terms and privacy documentation; read them for your situation.

Account protection. Both offer two-step verification and passkeys. In Nubo an organisation owner can require two-step verification for members with a grace period; see our guide. For Google’s controls, see Google’s admin documentation.

Meetings. Google publishes participant limits per plan, as in the table above. Nubo Meet connects participants directly to each other, with a waiting room, a recording indicator that everyone sees and screen sharing; see better meetings. Because the connections are direct between participants, we suggest testing a call of your typical size. [Product owner to confirm the recommended maximum number of participants before this line is published.]

Admin and compliance. Large organisations often need audit logs, data-loss prevention, device management and certifications. We publish what we hold on the Trust center, and we list a certification only when we have it. If a certification is a hard requirement for you, check the current status there before choosing.

Support and maturity. Google is a very large company with established support options. Nubo is a younger product from Chandorkar Technologies. If you need a specific service level, ask us for it in writing before you commit.

Who should probably stay with Google Workspace

• Teams whose work depends on real-time co-editing of complex documents with many collaborators and third-party add-ons.
• Organisations that need certifications or admin controls that we do not yet offer.

Who should look at Nubo

• Small and growing teams that are paying for several separate tools (email, chat, projects, time tracking, CRM, invoicing) and would rather have one account.
• Teams that want shared files and data kept under their own account, with clear sharing controls.
• Indian businesses that want invoicing and accounting in the same suite as email and files. See GST invoices for small businesses for general guidance, and check the invoicing feature set against your needs.

How to decide

1. List what your team does every week, not what the vendor lists. Email, files, meetings, planning, selling, invoicing.
2. Price what you pay now for all of it, including the tools you use alongside the suite.
3. Run a two-week trial with five people on real work. Do not judge from a demo.
4. Test the awkward things first: your biggest spreadsheet, a call with your usual number of people, a third-party add-on you depend on, importing a mailbox, and exporting your data.

If you want to try Nubo on real work, the Free plan costs nothing. It includes all the apps, with 5 GB of storage shared across them and a 2 GB mailbox.
