What is the benefit of paying for GSuite for such a small team?

Also Github? You can now have private repos with up to three collaborators for free.

You get Gmail and the other services on your own domain instead of a gmail.com address.

I'm an even smaller team (me, myself, and I) and I pay for G Suite for that reason.

The $7/month option is flexible enough for a small company and is not per user, thus negligible.

The per user options start to add up...

I pay for G Suite as a freelancer. It lets me use my own domain for email and meeting requests instead of an @gmail account.

They are free for personal private repos. Team private repos aren't!

I think OP is trying to say they don't need to pay for the Pro or for the Team as there are just two collaborators, the free version includes 3 collaborators on private repos. https://github.com/pricing

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. I suppose having the code in a personal repo gives the repo owner more power? I've never founded a startup, so not sure how typical cofounder trust dynamics are.
