The 20-employee threshold isn’t arbitrary. It’s the point where device management, security policies, and IT infrastructure complexity typically justify Office365’s robust capabilities. Below this size, Google Workspace’s simplicity and cost-effectiveness shine. Consider your growth trajectory carefully. If expansion is on your roadmap, starting with Office365 avoids the costly and disruptive migration later. If you’re committed to staying lean, Google Workspace delivers everything you need without the overhead.
