Why Google Workspace teams choose Firma over CodeTwo
- Google Workspace–first, not an afterthought. CodeTwo's heritage is Microsoft 365 and Exchange. Firma is built for Google Workspace from day one, so Gmail deployment is the core experience, not a secondary integration.
- Self-serve setup, no IT project. Install from the Google Workspace Marketplace and deploy to your whole team without a lengthy IT configuration.
- A real free plan and transparent pricing. Free for up to 2 users, then simple per-seat pricing from $1.20/user/month billed annually ($1.50 monthly) with no seat minimum.
- Less to manage. A focused product surface for one platform means faster adoption and fewer moving parts.
Firma works with both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, but if you're deep in Microsoft 365 or Exchange and need server-side signature stamping, CodeTwo's Microsoft-native depth is the safer choice. Firma is the faster, self-serve option, and Gmail deployment is its most mature path.
