Microsoft Teams: 'Try for free' trial added to Standard w/ Copilot
What happened
Between the Aug 3, 2026 and Aug 10, 2026 captures of Microsoft's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: 'Try for free' trial + 'See trial terms' link added to Microsoft 365 Business Standard with Copilot ($23.50/user/month); previously only Buy now was shown. In detail: Microsoft 365 Business Standard with Copilot plan ($23.50/user/month) now offers a 'Try for free' trial with a trial-terms link, alongside a new Learn more link; previously the plan card showed only a Buy now button. Pulse files it as a packaging change (trial change). Pulse's latest capture (Nov 9, 2026) lists Microsoft 365 Personal at $8.33, Microsoft 365 Family at $10.83 and Microsoft 365 Premium at $16.67.
Microsoft's previous recorded change was "Microsoft Teams Home bundles Copilot into Business Standard, hikes price to…" (Jul 6, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Microsoft Teams Home Teams/365: Copilot Business add-on promo renewed to Q3 2026" (Jul 3, 2026). Microsoft has been tracked since 2024-11-16.
