Use Google Workspace Starter & Standard in the Same Domain
Did you know you can have some users on Business Starter (₹168/month) and others on Business Standard (₹636/month) within the same domain? This powerful cost-optimization strategy is only available through certified Google Workspace resellers.
Perfect for: Growing businesses, educational institutions, and companies with diverse user needs who want to optimize costs without sacrificing collaboration.
Why Pay More Than You Need To?
Most businesses overpay for Google Workspace by putting all users on the same plan. With mixed plans, you can optimize costs while maintaining full collaboration and security.
Traditional Approach (Expensive)
Everyone gets the same plan, usually Business Standard
Example: 30 users on Business Standard
₹32,400/month
₹3,88,800/year
Mixed Plans (Smart)
Right-size each user based on their actual needs
Example: 15 on Standard + 15 on Starter
₹20,250/month
₹1,44,720/year
Save ₹2,43,240/year!
How Mixed Plans Work (Only Available Through Resellers)
Google's direct sales model doesn't allow mixing plans within a domain. However, authorized resellers like Skynetiks can create flexible licensing arrangements that give you this powerful capability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about using mixed Google Workspace plans in the same domain.
Can I really have different Google Workspace plans for different users in the same domain?
Yes! This is only possible through authorized Google Workspace resellers like Skynetiks. Direct Google customers cannot mix plans within a single domain, but resellers can create flexible licensing arrangements that allow some users to have Business Starter while others have Business Standard or Plus.
Why would I want different plans for different users?
Cost optimization! Not all employees need advanced features. For example, you might want Business Standard (100GB storage, advanced admin features) for managers and IT staff, while giving Business Starter (30GB storage, basic features) to interns, part-time workers, or users who only need basic email and documents.
What's the cost difference between having everyone on Standard vs mixed plans?
Significant savings! Business Starter costs ₹168/user/month while Standard costs ₹636/user/month. For a 20-user company, having 10 users on Starter and 10 on Standard saves ₹2,340/month (₹28,080/year) compared to having everyone on Standard.
Can users on different plans collaborate seamlessly?
Absolutely! All users share the same domain, can email each other, collaborate on Google Docs/Sheets, attend the same Meet calls, and access shared drives. The only differences are storage limits and advanced admin features.
Can I change a user from Starter to Standard later?
Yes! Through our reseller portal, we can easily upgrade or downgrade users between plans as your needs change. This flexibility is one of the key advantages of working with a reseller.
Is there any setup fee or extra cost for mixed plans?
No setup fees! You only pay Google's standard pricing for each plan type. Our reseller services, including setting up mixed plans and ongoing support, are provided at no additional cost.
How quickly can you set up mixed plans for my domain?
Usually within 24 hours! We'll analyze your requirements, recommend the optimal plan distribution, and configure everything. Since we're a certified reseller, we have direct access to Google's partner tools for faster deployment.
