Zanbase vs Google Workspace: one app, not a suite
Compare Zanbase and Google Workspace: one app with projects, tables and whiteboards, against a suite of separate apps.
Why teams switch
What changes when you move
One app instead of a suite
Google Workspace lists Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Meet, Chat and Drive as separate apps. Zanbase puts chat, docs, projects and meetings in one workspace.
Real project management
Zanbase has projects with board, calendar and Gantt views. Google Workspace’s plan comparison lists Tasks, not a project or board tool.
Tables that are databases
Build trackers with typed columns, linked records and many views, on the same data as everything else.
Whiteboards included
Plan and present on whiteboards in the same workspace. Google Workspace’s pricing page lists no whiteboard app.

FAQs
Zanbase and Google Workspace: questions
Can Zanbase replace Google Workspace?
Zanbase replaces the apps where your team works together: chat, docs, projects, tables, meetings and files. It does not host your email; connect your Gmail inbox to see it inside Zanbase.
Can we move from Google Docs and Sheets?
Use Google’s File menu to download a file in a format Zanbase imports. Bring work over one tool at a time: Zanbase imports Word documents, Markdown files and spreadsheets (CSV and Excel), and you can keep your other tools until you’re ready.
How do the prices compare?
See the plan prices in the comparison table. Zanbase includes chat, docs, projects, tables, meetings, files, whiteboards and Zanbase Agent, with capacity and usage allowances by plan. Single sign-on is plan-limited.
