Google Voice now offers two paid plans, Starter and Standard, for users without a Workspace subscription. The plans include features like call recording, GPT-powered transcription, and automated call handling, targeting small businesses and individual users.
Google Voice has historically catered primarily to enterprise customers, but it has now launched two paid calling plans that do not require a Google Workspace subscription. This change allows individuals and small businesses to access enhanced features previously available only to larger companies.
The new Google Voice offerings include the Starter plan, priced at $10 per month, which provides features like three-way calling and easy call recording. For $20 per month, the Standard plan includes advanced functionalities like automated call handling and call routing with auto attendants.
An interesting addition is the Gemini feature, which enhances the Google Voice experience by providing call transcription and summarization. This feature, introduced last month, can transcribe conversations, summarize key points, and generate action items, with both summaries and action items sent to users via email after a call.
Users can access the upgrade options by navigating to their profile in the Google Voice app and selecting 'Upgrade Voice'. There is currently a promotion which offers a 50% discount on the Standard plan for the first six months, making it more accessible for new users.
