Despite misleading rumors on the Web, Google has not changed the pricing or its SKUs for Google Apps. Here’s the scoop from The VAR Guy, along with accurate pricing information.
Actually, the scoop comes from Google Apps Channel Manager Jeff Ragusa. When The VAR Guy heard about a rumored price change, he reached out to Ragusa for comment.
Ragusa’s email reply:
“Although there was a lot of blogosphere commotion around it today, there has been in fact no change in pricing or SKUs for Google Apps. The business version continues to list at $50/year/user. And there continues to be a free version. A change to one of our web pages unintentionally caused the temporary disappearance of the link to sign up for the free version. Its been fixed.”
Good to hear. The VAR Guy has been watching — and listening — closely as Google builds out the Google Apps Reseller program.
Oh, and a shameless closing plug: The VAR Guy (or one of his handlers…) in August will moderate a panel at CompTIA Breakaway featuring Stephen Cho, director of channels for Google Apps.
