The pricing change will affect both commercial and business users of its service as a software (SaaS) offering. However, you’ll be happy to know that these increases will not affect pricing for education or consumers.
This is the first price increase that users have seen in its commercial software since Microsoft introduced the SaaS offering over a decade ago. Corporate Vice President for Microsoft 365 explains that the increase “reflects the increased value we have delivered to our customers over the past ten years” in his blog that explains the company decision.
The increased price accompanies Microsoft’s advancements in communication and collaboration, security and compliance, and AI and automation from which business and commercial consumers benefit. The VP also explained that Microsoft will also be adding “unlimited dial-in capabilities for Microsoft Teams meetings across our enterprise, business, frontline, and government suites over the next few months.”
So, in short, Microsoft users will get their money’s worth out of the change.
