Why does Google charge more to enterprise users and why do they bother to pay for that?
Enterprises usually need/want additional features, customizations or guarantees, like for example:
A good place to leave this:
https://sso.tax/
Businesses pay for software with support
What the fuck does Google know about support? They've never supported anything.
Not the stuff us plebs use for free, businesses tend to have support contracts
Enterprise can afford more than individuals and all businesses always find a way to make enterprise customers pay more.
For example when you buy a plane ticket, it's much cheaper if you have a weekend between your onward and outward trip. Because business travelers will travel during the week.
this is incredible common. in software offerings, an enterprise account per user can be twice or more the price of an “individual one”. eg. an individual intelliJ license is 200€ for the first year and 600€ for the enterprise one
