Microsoft 365 vs Google Workspace is the defining choice for UK business productivity. Microsoft 365 Business Basic (from £4.50/user/month) includes Teams, OneDrive, and web Office apps. Google Workspace Starter (from £5.50/user/month) includes Gmail with custom domain, Drive, and Meet.
For solo professionals and freelancers, Microsoft 365 Personal (£59.99/year) covers one user across all devices. Notion (from £7/user/month) has emerged as the all-in-one workspace, replacing separate note-taking, wiki, and project management tools. Obsidian (free for personal use) is the best option for developers and power users who prefer local-first notes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest way to get Microsoft Office?
Microsoft 365 Personal at £59.99/year includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, 1TB OneDrive, and premium Outlook. This is cheaper than buying Office outright (£119.99 one-time) if you'll use it for 2+ years. Our codes can save an additional 10-15%.
Microsoft 365 vs Google Workspace for UK businesses?
Microsoft 365 is better if your team relies on Excel, desktop apps, or has existing Windows infrastructure. Google Workspace is better for cloud-first teams who primarily collaborate in real-time. Both start around £4.50-5.50/user/month.
Is Notion free for personal use?
Notion's free plan includes unlimited pages and blocks for individual use. The Plus plan (£7/user/month) adds unlimited file uploads and 30-day version history. For teams, it's £7/member/month — competitive with Confluence and other wikis.
Do I need Slack if I have Microsoft Teams?
No — Teams and Slack overlap significantly. If you use Microsoft 365, Teams is included free. Slack is better for developer teams and organisations using many third-party integrations. Don't pay for both.
