While they are on par for email, with Fastmail being superior in certain ways, you do get a deal more value from the Google G Suite as you get a lot more besides email incorporated in the price, i.e, cloud drive, the applications themselves etc.

Thinking though this for a project I'm working on with a tight budget I concluded for money related reasons I'd probably have to go with Google even though I'd prefer not to.

FastMail is more than just email. They include a drive like feature with the ability to make a basic website.

I use G Suite for my side business and while it seems like a great deal because you get all these other apps, in practice, I have never used them, not once.

Oh really. Thanks for this. Will check it out.

We are heavy users of Google Sheets and Docs already so I know these will be used immediately.
