Microsoft 365 Copilot: Business plan relabeled as add-on
What happened
Between the Oct 12, 2026 and Oct 19, 2026 captures of Microsoft's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: "Microsoft 365 Copilot Business" relabeled to "Microsoft 365 Copilot Business (add-on)"; price unchanged at $18.00/user/month (from $21.00). In detail: "Microsoft 365 Copilot Business" relabeled to "Microsoft 365 Copilot Business (add-on)", clarifying it as an add-on to an existing Microsoft 365 plan rather than a standalone license; price unchanged at $18.00/user/month (from $21.00). Pulse files it as a packaging change (plan renamed) with a neutral direction. The current page lists Microsoft 365 Personal at $8.33, Microsoft 365 Family at $10.83, Microsoft 365 Premium at $16.67, Microsoft 365 Copilot Business at $18 and Microsoft 365 Copilot at $30.
It lands 69 days after Microsoft's previous change, "Microsoft Microsoft365copilot 365 Copilot: free trial added to Premium, Standard & add-on plans" (Aug 10, 2026). Microsoft has been tracked since 2024-11-16.
