Microsoft Copilot 365 Copilot: 1-month free trial added to Business plans
What happened
Between the Aug 3, 2026 and Aug 10, 2026 captures of Microsoft's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Added a 1-month 'Try for free' trial (with 'See trial terms') to Business Premium, Business Standard with Copilot, and the Copilot Business add-on; auto-converts to paid subscription after the trial unless canceled. In detail: Added a 1-month free trial ("Try for free") next to "Buy now" for Business Premium and Business Standard with Copilot, plus a standalone "Try for free" link for the Copilot Business add-on; auto-converts to paid after the trial unless canceled. Pulse files it as a packaging change (trial change) with a neutral direction. The current page lists Microsoft 365 Copilot Business at $18.
It lands 35 days after Microsoft's previous change, "Microsoft Copilot bundles Business Premium, Standard plans with Copilot access" (Jul 6, 2026). Microsoft has been tracked since 2024-11-16.
