Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or Titan: which business email should you pick?

Email on your own domain (you@yourcompany.com) is the first corporate tool any business needs. This page compares the three main 2026 options: Google Workspace (Gmail for business), Microsoft 365 (Outlook for business) and Titan Email (the simple, cheap alternative). Price, features, integration and when each makes sense.

Quick summary

Google Workspace is the best for companies that already live in the Google ecosystem (Drive, Meet, Docs), with flawless real-time collaboration. Microsoft 365 is the classic corporate standard — Outlook, Teams, Excel, OneDrive and the full desktop Office suite. Titan Email is the cheapest and simplest option: branded email without the full office suite, ideal for small businesses and freelancers who just need a professional inbox. Pricing ranges from US$ 1.49/mo (Titan) to US$ 6/mo (Workspace) per user.

When to pick each

Pick Google Workspace if...

  • Your team collaborates in real time (Docs, Sheets, Slides)
  • You already live in Google (Drive, Meet, Chrome)
  • You have a startup/tech profile with no desktop Excel/Word dependency
  • You want a simple centralized admin (domain-level control)
  • It makes sense to pay US$ 6+/user/mo for the full suite

Pick Microsoft 365 if...

  • Your team needs advanced desktop Excel, Word and PowerPoint (macros, VBA)
  • You use Teams as the main corporate communication tool
  • You integrate with SharePoint, Dynamics or Power Platform
  • You are in a Microsoft-culture company (IT, processes, training)
  • You need integrated Active Directory or Azure AD

Pick Titan Email if...

  • You are a freelancer or small business (1 to 10 people)
  • You only need professional email on your own domain (no office suite)
  • You want to pay less than R$ 10/user/mo
  • You already have personal Google Drive or OneDrive and need no more cloud
  • You do not use Teams or Meet corporately

Honest verdict

For freelancers and small businesses (1 to 10 people) that only need email on their own domain, Titan Email is nearly unbeatable on price — 4 to 8x cheaper than alternatives and delivers the essentials. For teams that live on cloud collaboration (agencies, startups, remote projects), Google Workspace is more productive. For mid/large companies with formal processes, heavy Excel and Teams, Microsoft 365 is still the standard.

Rollin Host resells Titan Email with BRL NF-e billing, free setup and human Portuguese support. For Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 with NF-e and BR support, we recommend contracting through an official Brazilian reseller.

Frequently asked questions

Which business email is cheapest?

Titan Email starts at US$ 1.49/user/mo (Email Lite, 10 GB), followed by Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 from US$ 6/user/mo. In BRL, Rollin Host resells Titan from R$ 6 per user per month with NF-e and Portuguese support.

Can I have Gmail for business with my own domain?

Yes. That is exactly Google Workspace: you sign up for a plan, point your domain MX records to Google and start using Gmail web/app with you@yourcompany.com. Starts at US$ 6/user/mo.

Does Microsoft 365 include desktop Word and Excel?

The Business Basic plan (US$ 6/mo) only includes the web versions. Business Standard (US$ 12.50) and Business Premium (US$ 22) include the full desktop apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Access). For desktop Office, you need Standard or higher.

Is Titan Email reliable?

Titan is a product from Endurance International (the same group as Hostgator and Bluehost), serving over 1 million domains. Anti-spam, IMAP/SMTP and webmail work stably. For SMBs, it is a reliable and very cheap option.

Which is best for WhatsApp Business plus email?

Google Workspace has the easiest integration with modern tools (Zapier, Make, n8n, EvolutionAPI). Microsoft 365 integrates with Teams + Power Automate. Titan integrates over standard IMAP/SMTP — works with any automation that accepts IMAP.

Can I migrate from one to another without losing emails?

Yes. All three accept IMAP migration — you connect the old server and the new one, and emails are copied (can take hours to days depending on volume). Google and Microsoft have official migration tools; Titan offers it via partners.

Which has better anti-spam?

Google has the most aggressive and efficient anti-spam (trained on huge Gmail volume). Microsoft 365 is also excellent. Titan is good but not at the level of the two leaders. For companies receiving lots of cold/marketing email, Google or Microsoft are preferable.

How does BRL invoicing work in Brazil?

Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 can be contracted directly (USD billing) or via a Brazilian partner with BRL NF-e (price usually equal to converted USD). Titan via Rollin Host comes with BRL NF-e directly. For companies needing tax credit, a Brazilian partner is better.

Google Workspace or Outlook for a law firm?

Microsoft 365 is more common in law firms because of Word/Outlook tradition and the need for versioning and review on complex documents. Modern small firms sometimes choose Workspace for real-time collaboration.

Is there a 100% Brazilian option?

There are options like Locaweb Email, UOL HOST Email and the DirectAdmin/cPanel email itself via Rollin Host. For simple email + hosting bundled, the email included in hosting (DirectAdmin) is free on Rollin Host plans — basic but functional.

Can I use Titan and Google Drive together?

Yes. You contract Titan only for email on your own domain (e.g. contact@yourcompany.com) and keep personal/free Google Drive or OneDrive for files. It is a common combo in small businesses looking to save.

Which is best to integrate with an AI agent / chatbot?

Google Workspace has the most open and well-documented API for AI automations (Gmail API, Calendar API). Microsoft 365 via Graph API is also robust. Titan integrates via standard IMAP/SMTP with any agent accepting standard protocol. For automation with n8n + EvolutionAPI, any of them works.

Professional email with BRL NF-e invoice?

Rollin Host resells Titan Email with free setup, BRL NF-e billing and human Portuguese support. It also offers professional email included with hosting plans (DirectAdmin).
