I only learned today that Google is finally forcing all G Suite legacy free plan users upgrading to google workspace, I would prefer paying less money to google, but I have to say google have been keep this enterprise service for free for more than one decade now, it's amazing.

I probably will migrate to workspace anyway, but also worried about my dependencies in google ecosystem, they already have my whole photo collections, my emails, my contacts my search history and videos I watch, maybe I should review my options now:

• Microsoft 365 Business, $5 per user 50G email and 1T cloud storage, amazing value
• Zoho Mail Lite, $1 per user for 5G cheap cheap
• Cloudflare email routing, essentially an email forwarding service, currently in private beta, I'm not sure pricing, but would like to try when it's available

I'm currently leaning towards zoho, its email client actually looks pretty good, will see if I need to upgrade to higher plans or move to Microsoft or Cloudflare.
