What happened
Between the Sep 14, 2026 and Sep 21, 2026 captures of Google Workspace's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Intro promo depth cut on all three self-serve plans: banner moved from flat '50% off' to 'up to 30% off'; Starter 50%→20% off ($3.50→$5.60/user/mo), Standard 50%→30% off ($7→$9.80/user/mo), Plus 50%→30% off ($11→$15.40/user/mo) for the first 3 months. Pulse files it as a pricing change (discount change) with a neutral direction. The current page lists Starter at $7, Standard at $14 and Plus at $22.
It lands 7 days after Google Workspace's previous change, "Google Workspace deepens promo to 50% off Business Starter and Plus for 3 months" (Sep 14, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Google Workspace: Starter+Plus promo cut from 50% to 20% off" (Sep 7, 2026). Google Workspace has been tracked since 2026-05-07.
