Yahoo and Hotmail could be substitutes for Gmail...I guess. Good luck.
Google Search has no reasonable alternatives.
Google Chrome can be replaced with Firefox. Do note that 90% of Mozilla's revenue comes from Google.
YouTube has no viable alternatives. DailyMotion, Vimeo? Good luck finding what you searched for.
Google Maps' primary alternative is OpenStreetMap, but only as a repository for the maps themselves. Implementation like integration into smartphones is effectively nonexistent.
For Google Reader there's...oh wait.
Google Drive has alternatives, but not price-wise since the recent price drop. They're now shelling out 1TB of cloud storage for $10/month. Compare to Dropbox's 100GB.
Android has WinPhone and iOS as alternatives, but WinPhone isn't well-supported by third-party developers and iOS has almost zero flexibility.
G+ has Facebook as an alternative, but the crown for Most Evil is up for grabs.
Google Keep has Evernote or Simplenote.
Hangouts has Whatsapp, Skype, or any other chat app. Have fun trying to get your friends on the same one as you.
Google Docs has Microsoft Office Online, but I haven't used it and I wouldn't doubt that Microsoft is doing as much data-mining as possible on this platform.
For Google Wallet, you have Square Wallet, Apple's thing, and I couple of other services I've never heard of.
Google Voice has no alternatives, and it's about to be integrated into Hangouts somehow - you've been warned.
And Google Reader has...uh....
Google Calendar...good god. Good luck moving to another service with that one.
Google Translate's competitors aren't even in the same league.
There isn't even another service similar to Google Cloud Print.
And then there are Google Analytics, DoubleClick, AdWords, and whatever other kinds of super-secret proprietary data-mining magic that they use. Good luck avoiding those.
