What is the difference between Google Workspace and Google’s free apps?

You’ll get a variety of extra business-grade services with Google Workspace that are not offered with Google’s free consumer apps.
Custom business email @yourcompany, twice as much cloud storage across Gmail and Drive, round-the-clock phone and email support, a 99.9% uptime guarantee on business email, compatibility with Microsoft Outlook, additional security options like two-step authentication and SSO, and user account administration are a few of the services offered.
