Mektup vs Google Workspace

Google Workspace is an office suite where every mailbox is a paid user. Mektup is only email: unlimited mailboxes on 25 domains for $20 a month, in webmail or any mail app, with an API, MCP and webhooks so software and AI agents can use the same addresses.

Questions

Is Mektup a Google Workspace alternative?

For email, yes: real mailboxes on your domain in webmail and any mail app. It is not a replacement for Docs, Drive, Meet or Calendar. Teams that use those often keep Workspace for the people who need them and run other addresses on Mektup.

What does Google Workspace cost for email?

Business Starter is $7 per user a month on an annual plan, or $8.40 month to month (US prices), with 30 GB per user. Every mailbox that is a person needs a paid user; shared addresses can be groups or aliases.

Can an AI agent use a Workspace mailbox?

Through the Gmail API with OAuth, yes, but each agent mailbox is a paid user, and Google's terms and limits are written for people. Mektup is built for agents: unlimited mailboxes, a webhook on new mail, a REST API and MCP.

Can I keep Gmail and add Mektup?

Yes, on a different domain or subdomain, for example agents.yourcompany.com, so your team stays in Gmail and your agents and app mail run on Mektup.
