The three Business Editions have a maximum of 300 users. If your organization has more than 300 users, your only option is Enterprise Edition.
If your organization has 300 users or fewer, you can choose among the three Business editions. The following table shows the key differences.
| Cost Per User | Storage Per User | Video Meetings Max | Meeting Recording | Shared Team Drives | Chat Outside Organization | Enhanced Security Features |

| $18/month | 5 TB | 250 people | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Using this information, you can quickly determine which edition will work best for your organization. Although making the right choice the first time is ideal, it is not crucial, because Google enables you to switch between plans if necessary.
