Microsoft Teams Business adds Cowork and Autopilot AI, with usage-based billing
What happened
Between the Oct 19, 2026 and Oct 26, 2026 captures of Microsoft's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Business Standard with Copilot adds access to Cowork, Autopilot and advanced AI experiences in SharePoint; price now notes usage-based billing for select advanced AI features. Pulse files it as a product change (feature added) with an upward direction. The current page lists Microsoft Teams Essentials at $4, Microsoft 365 Business Basic (no Teams) at $5.4, Microsoft 365 Business Basic at $7, Microsoft 365 Business Standard with Copilot (no Teams) at $20.3 and Microsoft 365 Business Standard with Copilot at $23.5.
It lands 7 days after Microsoft's previous change, "Microsoft Teams Business Teams flags usage-based AI charges beyond license fees" (Oct 19, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Teams Premium now needs a Teams Enterprise license; Buy now removed" (Sep 21, 2026). Microsoft has been tracked since 2024-11-16.
In the same window Salesforce and Google also changed their Business Operations pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
