Google Vault is a cheaply priced product. Monthly payments are to be made towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no extra costs apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution.
If you have Google Enterprise, then Google Vault is free to use. You may need to pay for Google Vault if you don't have Google Enterprise. The cost for Google Vault varies for different countries.
The pricing for Google Vault was INR1500 per user per month. However, the price has been increased, and now it's around INR2500 per user per ES (Enterprise Standard). There are no additional costs. No extra expenses.
I think that the monthly price is about 18 dollars. As a business owner, I do not want to pay for additional services, and monthly is what we call complex or operational expenses. Instead, I would use that budget to purchase a Capex that can last longer.
Last year, the price was randomly increased and our customers were really facing a challenge around this. Google launched new pricing under different plans, where formerly there were only three plans, and now there are four, each with their own separate usage allowances. I think it's good, though. The basic plan is now the Business Starter plan, and many customers find this plan very convenient and minimal in price. Overall, the pricing for all the plans is good. For us as resellers, in the annual plan subscription it's not possible to increase the license because it simply reverts back. I understand that it's not possible as this is an old commitment, and I don't know if they will change it, but I would like there to be some kind of option available at our end as a reseller to adjust the annual license. This might not be the case for newer licensing agreements, of course.
I'm not sure how the licensing works for customers. I know that you can buy a Vault license that includes a business, education and enterprise for education. Normally those are the customers that we support. There is another area that's a Vault add on and that's for essentials only. And those would only have to be verified within the domain.
