At this point I'd be more than willing to pay a monthly for Google services if it meant I knew I'd get prompt support if something went wrong. I've looked into getting a GSuite account but from my reading like there are some incompatibilities with services that I use on the free tier.

I already use Google's paid-tier for their storage and I use their domain registrar.

I get that I'm using a free product so that means they have to do customer service on the cheap. I get it. I'm happy to give something that's mission-critical in my life mission-critical payment without the pain of migrating to a new email provider.

Shut up and take my money, Google.

Checkout Google one: https://one.google.com/about which is more of a personal plan but come with support.

GSuite != Google One, which is an add-on to consumer accounts. GSuite makes you a different account that has different access to services.

I'm actually already on Google One for the storage - iirc when I bought it I was just buying a storage upgrade... maybe I got transferred in from storage upgrade to the Google One product? I don't remember if it was called One when I bought in.

Looking it over, I didn't realize the Google One product offers human support options, so... maybe hypothetically I could actually get service if my account was shuttered? Or they'll actually be resistant to shuttering my account?

There's an assumption here that Google would behave differently for paid consumer accounts which I do not think is justified/safe.

There are many features that Google blocks if you have a GSuite accounts. You cannot use Stadia, post reviews in the google play store, use any of there family subscriptions as the paying account or as a family member and note application integration with google assistance. Those are just the few I can think of off the top of my head.

Ohhhhhhhhhh. That's why I can't find the 'write review' button in the Play store.

I didn't know about Stadia. I had been thinking of getting it, partly out of curiosity. Now I won't bother.

You also cannot join non-GSuite meetings, or at least for the educational version of GSuite.

Google treats all their customers, paid or not, like trash. If you ever have doubt of this go over to the Google Fi subreddit and see all the people that got screwed by Google Support.

This is called Google One. I pay for it.
