I don't mind paying someone else just to run email for my domain (or potentially even paying Google) but I'd like to offload my Android app purchases and all that kind of stuff I have on there.

From the FAQ:
> If my G Suite legacy free edition account is suspended, what happens to my additional Google services and paid content after July 1, 2022?
> In account suspension, you won't lose access to other Google services, including YouTube, Google Photos, and Google Play, nor paid content, including YouTube and Play Store purchases.
> You'll also be able to sign in to your Google apps (such as YouTube) and third-party sites with your G Suite legacy edition email address. You won’t be able to receive or send email, including authenticating password resets via email. Without access to Gmail in the suspendedstate, we recommend you use a different email provider to send and receive email messages, including changing logins and authenticating new passwords.
What seems to be weirdly missing is the option to convert to normal non-gmail google account, which is what most individuals or families willing to migrate to a different email host would want. If they offered that, it would allow keeping access to gdocs et al, and you would really only be losing mail hosting and the ability to administer other accounts.
I would think that having such an account would also just be trouble down the line: being on a Workspace account already affects time of access to features routinely (and the new Pay never came to those accounts... though I feel like that's somewhat dead in the water already anyway?) and being in an even more limited non-paying weirdo customer subset can't possibly help any of that out.
My guess is they have a Family Tier. Same limits as free, but with a cost.
Personally I'm willing to foot the bill if i have to, but that will probably only be a stopgap to get to something that is cheaper.
Unfortunately a lot of the heralded services (ie: ProtonMail) dont have the same services (ie: no contacts sync or notes sync etc). That is VERY handy outside the app. While i could work around it, not sure family would be a willing.
You need to pay $6/month, or $72/year to get 30 GB of storage + custom domain. If you're on Gmail and pay nothing, you get 15 GB of storage. If you're on Gmail and pay $20/year (or $1.99/month) towards Google One, you get 100 GB of storage.
Basically, the custom domain part of G Suite costs quite a lot considering how little of anything else you get in comparison to cheaper Google One plans. No idea how expensive that can be, since Apple will sell me a 50 GB iCloud+ account that has custom domain emails, iCloud Private Relay and other features for 0.99 €/month.
