Google Workspace Alternative: Hub For Teams
Business email, files, office apps, chat, video and projects on U.S. servers we own. The independent replacement for Google Workspace, from $7.49 per user.
Moving from Google Workspace to Liberation
We handle the move so you can keep working.
Why Businesses Are Leaving Google Workspace
Google Workspace keeps your company’s email, files and calendars on a Big Tech cloud spread across Google’s global data centers. Hub For Teams is the independent alternative: business email, calendar, contacts, file storage, an office suite, team chat, video meetings and project management, hosted only in the United States on servers LiberationTek owns and operates.
You keep your domain and every email address. Our team moves your Gmail, Google Drive files, contacts and calendars for you.
Picking a Google Workspace alternative
A Google Workspace alternative has to do the daily work your team already relies on. That means mail on your own domain, shared calendars, file storage, chat and video, all in one login.
Hub for Teams is built for that. It starts at $7.49 per user per month and runs on servers in the United States. If you only need mailboxes, the Liberation Email plans start at $1.95 per user per month, which can make a simpler Google Workspace alternative for small teams.
Questions to ask about any Google Workspace alternative
- Where is our data stored, and who operates the servers?
- Can we keep our existing domain and addresses?
- What does migration cost, and who does the work?
- Can we export everything if we leave later?
The migration question matters most. We offer free migration when you choose an annual plan, and otherwise migration is available from $50 per user. The move from Google Workspace page explains the process, and our email transfer service covers mailboxes.
Email standards still apply to every Google Workspace alternative. The IETF’s DMARC specification explains how receiving servers check sender records, and those DNS records need reviewing when you change providers.
Switching to a Google Workspace alternative without disruption
Plan the move for a quiet period. Count your users, copy mail and files, test with a small group, then switch DNS. Keep the old account running until everyone confirms their folders look right.
Teams that also use chat and video can look at our Teams replacement page, since the same Hub for Teams account covers meetings. Whichever Google Workspace alternative you choose, write down your users, aliases and shared mailboxes before you start. Churches and nonprofits can also ask about the 15% discount.
