I'm confused. AFAIK you can use google docs for free. What you can't do for free is register your own domain and then register that with Google Workspace. Am I wrong?
The first, using docs, is you as an individual user and is still free AFAIK.
The 2nd, is you having an organization with multiple users and admin accounts that can control what those user can do with docs and other google services, (like can't share outside the org, can transfer docs between accounts like when someone leaves, etc....). This is the one that has not been free for a while and that Google recently tried to push a few legacy free users to be paid.
Personally I switched to paid from free long ago. As an individual user it's still worth it to me to pay Google a measly $6 a month to run my email for my domain. It's still my domain and I can switch if I need to. I back up my docs as well just in case. Further, their support as a paid user has been great so far. Every time I've contacted them they've gotten back to me quickly and been very helpful.
