Copilot license
Microsoft 365’s Copilot license is designed to offer maximum flexibility to businesses, allowing them to choose between annual or monthly subscriptions. This flexibility is crucial for businesses with fluctuating needs or who prefer to avoid long-term commitments.
Monthly Pricing Update: Microsoft has also adjusted monthly subscription prices for the Copilot license. This update allows businesses to benefit from the latest innovations and features of Microsoft 365, while having the freedom to manage their costs more dynamically.
Starting December 1, 2024, customers who purchase annual term subscriptions to Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot for Sales and Microsoft 365 Copilot for Service will have the option to pay on a monthly basis instead of making an initial annual payment. The monthly billing option for Copilot annual term subscriptions will be priced 5% higher than the annual billing option.
