Streak is a CRM (customer relationship management tool) that lives entirely inside Gmail. Your sales pipeline, customer emails, and deal tracking all happen in your inbox — no separate app needed. It's one of the most popular Gmail-native CRM options for small sales teams.
Gemini AI is built into Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Meet, and more — it can draft emails, summarize threads, suggest replies, generate content, and take meeting notes. Higher-tier plans unlock expanded AI models and NotebookLM, an AI-powered research assistant.
Google Workspace is the best all-in-one productivity suite for most small businesses, especially if your team already uses Google tools in their personal lives. The biggest pro is that you get email, video calls, file storage, real-time docs, and AI assistance all under one roof starting at $7 per user per month. The main downside is that the entry-level Starter plan only includes 30 GB of storage per user, which can feel tight if your team shares a lot of large files.
