Apps used within Google Workspace are available to users at no additional cost. Some third party apps require additional licensing as determined by the independent developer of each app, but there is no incremental cost from Google to use these apps. Custom apps are also free to use, except for apps built with AppSheet, which does require app users to have an AppSheet license.

It’s a service integrated with Google Workspace that enables anyone to rapidly build applications that digitally transform and streamline work, using a simple drag and drop interface that requires no coding experience to use.

Apps require no additional Google Workspace license costs to build. Using Workspace APIs and SDKs are free of charge.
