Advice for existing Copilot customers
- No automatic migration: Existing Copilot add-ons will not be automatically converted to Copilot Business. Your current licenses remain valid under existing terms.
- Consider switching: For organizations with fewer than 300 users, Copilot Business is more cost-effective ($21 vs. $30 per user/month) and includes the same features.
- Leverage bundle discounts: The new bundles with Business Standard or Premium offer significant savings—up to 35% off during the promotional period.
- Check your base license: Copilot Business requires a Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Standard, or Premium license. Enterprise E3/E5 is still required for the Enterprise Copilot variant.
- Strategic migration: Don’t migrate all users blindly. Start with a pilot group of active Copilot users, measure adoption and value, and then scale up.
- Mid-term upgrades: You can upgrade all or part of your seats mid-term to Copilot Business and benefit from promotional pricing. Full upgrades are recommended for easier management and maximum flexibility.
Why Copilot Business?
- AI for everyone: Copilot Business brings generative AI directly into the Microsoft 365 apps your teams use every day—Word, Excel, Outlook, and more.
- Security and compliance: Built-in enterprise-grade security, privacy, and compliance controls.
- Simple adoption: Bundles make it easy to add AI to your productivity suite, with flexible billing options (annual upfront or monthly).
- Industry-tailored messaging: Copilot Business helps SMBs in all sectors—professional services, construction, creative agencies—work smarter, automate routine tasks, and protect sensitive data.
