The service itself is not expensive. For example, my ISP offers it for free, so does my registrar. They're effectively selling an overpriced software subscription (to gmail) and threat of lock-in is at least some part of the marketing tactic.
- tonymet 5y agoi know people who manage free GSuite accounts with 3000+ members. that’s $60k / mo in lost sales and at least $500 / mo cost to operate
- xanaxagoras 5y agoHaha, fair enough, hadn't thought of that scenario. That is pretty insane to expect a free service to provide that in perpetuity.
