Please review our comparison chart for more details or visit our Help Center.
Can I have more than one edition at the same time?
It depends and varies based on the intended combination of editions.
You must have an Education Fundamentals edition to upgrade to any of the other editions (Education Standard, the Teaching and Learning Upgrade, or Education Plus).
You cannot have Education Plus in combination with Education Standard or the Teaching and Learning Update — only Education Fundamentals.
You can have a combination of Education Standard and the Teaching and Learning Upgrade at the same time. Although we believe the maximum value of those combined editions can be realized in Education Plus, we wanted to be as flexible as possible to school community needs.
Are discounts available and/or are there incentives for longer term commitments?
Yes, Google offers automatic discounts for customers that contractually commit to a multi-year purchase (two years or more) of Google Workspace for Education Plus. To learn more, please connect with your Google Workspace for Education partner reseller and/or Google for Education representative.
When upgrading to a paid edition of Google Workspace for Education (Plus, Teaching & Learning Upgrade, and/or Standard), will I need to sign a new Workspace for Education Terms of Service agreement?
No, there is no need for a new Workspace for Education contract nor an addendum.
Can I upgrade/downgrade between the editions?
All paid Google Workspace for Education editions are annual subscriptions, and pricing is locked for the duration of the subscription term.
Customers who purchase the Teaching and Learning Upgrade can add Education Standard or Education Plus at any time. The same works vice versa - if you have Education Standard or Education Plus you can purchase Teaching and Learning Upgrade licenses at any time.
Customers can reevaluate continuing with their subscription or downgrade at the end of their subscription term.
What is the duration of a paid Google Workspace for Education subscription?
All paid Google Workspace for Education editions are available as annual subscriptions, and pricing is locked for the duration of the subscription term. However, institutions can also purchase the Teaching and Learning Upgrade on a monthly subscription, as an alternative to purchasing it as an annual subscription.

Yes, all customers who have purchased G Suite Enterprise for Education will receive new features and functionality that are released to the new Google Workspace for Education editions.
