TL;DR

At entry level, Microsoft 365 Business Basic (S$8/mo) is significantly cheaper than Google Workspace Starter (S$9.40/mo). At mid-tier, Google Workspace Standard (S$18.80/mo) costs more than M365 Standard (S$17/mo). The critical difference is AI: Google Gemini is included free in Workspace Standard, while Microsoft Copilot costs S$40/mo extra. For mid-tier + AI, Google is S$18.80/user/mo vs Microsoft at S$57/user/mo. Google saves S$38.20/user/mo on the AI-included comparison. Microsoft wins on desktop apps and offline. Google wins on collaboration and AI value. Both are PDPA-supportive when configured correctly by Digigen.

| Tier | Google Workspace | S$/user/mo | Microsoft 365 | S$/user/mo | Winner |

M365 Copilot add-on: S$40/user/mo (requires Business Standard or higher). Gemini AI: included in GWS Standard and above. Enterprise prices in USD (locally invoiced through Digigen). Microsoft prices effective July 1, 2026.

Matchup 1: Entry Tier

## M365 Business Basic (S$8) vs GWS Starter (S$9.40)

Best for small teams under 20 users who need professional email and basic collaboration.

Verdict: Entry Tier

**Microsoft 365 Business Basic wins significantly on price** (S$8 vs S$9.40) and storage (1 TB vs 30 GB). **Google Workspace Starter wins on AI** with Gemini in Gmail included, plus Google Vids for video creation. The biggest trade-off: M365 Basic has no desktop apps at all. If your team needs to install Word or Excel, you cannot use this plan. For pure web/mobile email and collaboration on a tight budget, M365 Basic saves S$1.40/user/mo. For teams that want AI from day one, GWS Starter delivers Gemini without extra cost. Note: GWS Starter offers a discount for the first 20 users.

### Verdict: Mid Tier

This is the most important tier for most Singapore businesses. **Microsoft 365 Standard is cheaper at S$17/mo** vs Google Workspace Standard at S$18.80/mo. **M365 Standard wins on price and desktop apps.** However, the AI story flips the equation: adding Copilot to M365 costs an additional S$40/mo per user, making the total S$57 vs Google's S$18.80 for comparable AI. **With AI included, Google saves S$38.20/user/mo.** For a team of 50 users over 12 months, the AI-included difference is S$22,920 per year. Google also includes 2x the storage (2 TB vs 1 TB), NotebookLM, and eSignature. M365 Standard includes full desktop apps and better offline support. Discounts may be available on GWS Standard through Digigen.

Matchup 3: Premium / Security Tier

## M365 Business Premium (S$30) vs GWS Business Plus (S$29.40)

For businesses with advanced security, compliance, and device management requirements.

Verdict: Premium Tier

**Microsoft 365 Business Premium is the clear winner for security-focused organisations.** At S$30/mo (same price stays after July 2026, nearly identical to GWS Plus at S$29.40), it includes Microsoft Defender for endpoint protection, Intune for device management, Entra ID conditional access, and DLP. This eliminates the need for separate antivirus and MDM tools, potentially saving thousands per user annually. GWS Plus is better for organisations that need deep archiving (Vault) and more storage (5 TB vs 1 TB), and it includes Gemini AI. But for security, Premium is hard to beat. Note: M365 Business Premium pricing stays unchanged at US$22 even after the July 2026 price adjustments.

### Verdict: Enterprise Tiers

At the enterprise level, the choice depends heavily on your security stack and existing infrastructure. **Microsoft 365 E5 is the most feature-complete enterprise suite available**, with Defender P2, Entra ID P2, Teams Phone, Power BI Pro, and Security Copilot all included. For organisations with complex security requirements, E5 consolidates multiple standalone products. **Google Workspace Enterprise Plus wins on collaboration, AI value, and data region control.** Gemini is included at no extra cost (Copilot is still $30/mo add-on even on E5), and data regions give you full control over where information is stored. For Singapore enterprises evaluating both, Digigen can model the total cost of ownership including add-ons, third-party tools being replaced, and migration costs.

AI Comparison

## Gemini vs Copilot: The AI That Matters Most

AI Verdict

**For most Singapore businesses starting with AI, Google Workspace offers dramatically better value.** Gemini is included in Standard (S$18.80/mo), while Copilot costs S$40/mo on top of your M365 license (total S$57/mo). For a 50-person team, the AI-included cost difference is S$22,920/year. **Copilot wins if you need Copilot Studio** for building custom AI agents connected to your business data, or if your team's power users are deeply embedded in Excel and PowerPoint. Note: Starting 2026, all M365 plans get basic Copilot Chat functionality (limited AI), but the full Copilot experience with agent building still requires the paid add-on.

## Frequently Asked Questions

Which is cheaper in Singapore, Google Workspace or Microsoft 365?+

At entry level, Microsoft 365 Business Basic (S$8/mo) is significantly cheaper than GWS Starter (S$9.40/mo). At mid-tier, M365 Standard (S$17/mo) is also cheaper than GWS Standard (S$18.80/mo). But with AI included, Google Workspace Standard with Gemini at S$18.80/mo is dramatically cheaper than M365 Standard + Copilot at S$57/mo. Google saves S$38.20/user/mo when AI is the deciding factor. The right answer depends on whether AI is a priority for your team.

Is Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 better for Singapore businesses?+

Both are excellent. Google Workspace excels at real-time collaboration, includes Gemini AI free, and offers 2x the storage at mid-tier. Microsoft 365 excels with desktop apps (critical for Excel power users), offline work, and enterprise security (Defender, Intune). Digigen is certified by both and helps Singapore businesses make this choice based on actual workflows and requirements.

Can I use both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365?+

Yes. Some Singapore businesses use both platforms. For example, Google Workspace for collaboration and email plus Microsoft 365 Apps for users who need full desktop Excel. Digigen can design a hybrid approach with proper integration and licensing optimisation.

Which has better AI: Gemini or Copilot?+

Both are capable AI assistants with comparable features. The critical difference is pricing. Gemini is included in Google Workspace Standard at S$18.80/mo. Copilot requires a S$40/mo add-on on top of M365. Copilot Studio for custom AI agents is unique to Microsoft. For most businesses starting with AI, Google offers better value. For businesses needing custom AI agent development, Copilot Studio has the edge.

Can Digigen help me switch between platforms?+

Yes. Digigen provides full migration services in both directions: Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, and Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace. This includes email, calendar, contacts, files, and format conversion (Google Docs to Word and vice versa). Typical migration takes 2-4 weeks with user training included. Local SGD billing with GST invoices for all services.

Does Digigen provide local billing in Singapore Dollars for both platforms?+

Yes. Digigen provides local SGD billing with official GST invoices for both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, all editions. Bank transfer, credit card, or QR payment accepted. No credit card required to start. No currency conversion fees or hidden markup.

At mid-tier, Microsoft 365 Business Standard at S$17 is also cheaper than Google Workspace Business Standard at S$18.80. However, when AI is included, Google Workspace Standard with Gemini at S$18.80 is dramatically cheaper than Microsoft 365 Business Standard with Copilot at S$57. Google saves S$38.20 per user per month when AI is a key requirement."

      "text" : "Both are strong options. Google Workspace is better for real-time collaboration, browser-based work, included Gemini AI, more storage at mid-tier, NotebookLM, and built-in eSignature. Microsoft 365 is better for desktop apps, offline work, advanced endpoint security, and businesses that rely heavily on Excel or Active Directory. The right choice depends on your workflows and security requirements."

For example, Google Workspace can be used for email and collaboration, while Microsoft 365 Apps are used for users who need full desktop Excel and other offline desktop applications. Digigen can help design a hybrid approach with integration and licensing optimisation."

      "text" : "Both Gemini and Copilot are capable AI assistants with similar productivity use cases across email, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and meetings. The biggest difference is pricing and packaging. Gemini is included in Google Workspace Standard and above, while Copilot requires an additional S$40 per user per month. Copilot Studio is a strong Microsoft advantage for custom AI agents. For many businesses starting with AI, Google Workspace offers better value."
