For existing G Suite Basic or Business edition customers on the Flexible Plan, the new list prices will go into effect on April 2, 2019. For customers on the Annual Plan, the new prices will go into effect the first time their plan renews on or after April 2, 2019. These changes will not impact current contracts or any renewal events prior to April 2, 2019.

This is the potential problem with the subscription model for everything. Once they have dedicated users it is very easy to ratchet up the price for those who are basically locked in. With a business subscription it becomes a huge chore to switch to another provider, even if there would eventually be a cost savings. It is why Adobe can charge $500 a year or whatever it is now for the Creative Cloud.
