Reality check
Where it earns its place, and where it doesn't.
Where it earns its place
What it takes off your plate
A free personal mailbox used for business.
Where it makes sense
When the business name exists and you want customers writing to a matching address.
What it really costs
Per user per month; the cost scales with headcount, not usage.
Where it doesn't
Marketing vs reality
Sold as a productivity suite. For a small service business its real value is a credible email address and a reliable calendar, not the long feature list.
What it does not replace
A CRM. Threads in an inbox are not a sales pipeline.
Work still left to you
You verify the domain, add DNS records, and create the mailboxes.
When it's a waste
Paying for many seats before there are people to fill them.
Getting your work back out
Low to moderate. Mail can be exported and the domain moved, but archives take effort.
