Pricing Issues Reported by Users
Why did Microsoft 365 get more expensive? Copilot price hike
In January 2025 Microsoft bundled Copilot into Microsoft 365 Personal and Family and raised US prices to $99.99/year and $129.99/year (about $3/month more, roughly 30-43% depending on the old base). The rise applied whether or not users wanted AI, and press coverage of the reaction was overwhelmingly negative.
Cheaper 'Classic' plan without Copilot is hidden in the cancel flow
Personal Classic and Family Classic keep the old prices without AI credits, but they are not sold to new customers. Existing subscribers only see them after choosing Manage > Cancel subscription, and Microsoft calls them a limited-time offer.
Microsoft 365 business plans got more expensive in July 2026
Microsoft raised commercial prices from July 1, 2026; most reports put Business Basic at $7 (from $6) and Business Standard at $14 (from $12.50) per user per month, with Business Premium unchanged at $22.
Microsoft 365 Family storage cut from 6 TB to 2 TB shared
Microsoft's plan page now lists 2 TB of shared storage for Family and Premium instead of 1 TB per person (up to 6 TB). Reports say it applies to new subscriptions from October 2026, with existing subscribers moved at their 2027 renewal.
