I was a grandfathered Google Apps free account, they terminated that program.
I moved my email for all my domains to Fastmail.
I did not use any of their the other suite / apps so no loss there. I never found the Google Apps platform very usable over Actual apps like MS Office, or even LibreOffice. The web versions always seemed very limited. (even web version of MS Office)
- BrandoElFollito 3y agoThe program was not terminated. I joined Google Apps in ca. 2006, was grandfathered and I still use the service today (Google Workspace)
- voisin 3y agoThey announced it would be and caused everyone a ton of headache and then changed their mind. It was a wake up call that having a neurotic service provider at the core of my digital life is not a good plan. And to this day, I will never again use a Google product.
- BrandoElFollito 3y agoYes, I was about to switch and then they changed their mind. Switching is really painful, though, because I am quite attached to the ecosystem and it would require substantial work to recreate it from bits and pieces.

- BrandoElFollito 3y agoI do not know, I just have my family as users so I never hit any limit. I had a look at the console but did not find the limitation either (it is certainly somewhere)
- phpisthebest 3y agoI was very early. I have 100
- phpisthebest 3y agoIt was terminated. But if you signed a "I promise I am not using this for commercial purpose" they backpedaled and allowed people to stay if it was for "family or personal use" I don't trust them to keep that though so I moved my email anyway
