I'm in the exact same boat.
What's funny is that I would probably pay a reasonable annual cost for the service (I'm already paying an annual fee for the domain), but the way this is announced is enough to lose me as a customer, permanently.
- No links to the information in my admin.google.com panel
- No personal notification at all to the billing contact
- An automated "upgrade" to paying a monthly cost for a formerly free product
Yeah, no. This is borderline scammy, not the way to treat people who have been your customers for 15-20 years, and who disproportionately are responsible for spending decisions at their companies.
Any competitors to Gmail want my business and support custom domains / have a reasonable strategy for migrating data away from G Suite accounts?
