Google Inc. will stop offering the free version of its Google Apps to small businesses with less than 10 employees.

The move will not affect current customers using the service, according to the Wall Street Journal. Google Apps includes a "custom email address, Google Docs and Google Drive online storage as well as customer support for paying customers," according to the report.

Sundar Pichai, Google's senior vice president in charge of Google Apps, told the Wall Street Journal that the move was intended to improve customer service, which is only available to paying customers. Currently, companies with more than 10 users pay $50 a person each year for the service, according to the report.
