Compare

Ion, next to the
workspaces you know.

Fair, specific comparisons of the essentials your business runs on. Written by us, so read with care — then check our claims against the demo.

Honest comparison

No parity overclaims. Where the other tool is better, we say so.

Google Workspace

The mature suite with the deep ecosystem. We compare honestly — and say where it still wins.

What we compare

The same seven
questions.

Any workspace you might run your business on should answer these.

  • Mail — reading, composing, folders, labels, and search
  • Calendar — the working day alongside your inbox
  • Contacts — address books in the same workspace
  • Files — folders, uploads, and downloads
  • Protocol — JMAP (open standard) versus proprietary APIs
  • Pricing model — pilot-shaped versus published tiers
  • Migration path — import tooling and cutover
