Mailaholic vs Google Workspace
Business email without the whole suite
The short answer
Mailaholic is business email on your own domain, priced per domain rather than per person: a free plan, then ₹99, ₹299 or ₹699 a month. Google Workspace bundles Gmail with Drive, Docs, Meet and Calendar and is priced per user — Business Starter is ₹540 a user a month on an annual plan. Pick Mailaholic if your team only needs email; pick Workspace if you need the office suite or large mailboxes.
