## How to use the comparison tool

The comparison tool has four views. **Features** is where you tick what you need: it opens on the 35 key features most organisations decide on, with a switch to all 537 and a search box that covers everything. **Plans** ranks the plans by fit and price, names what each one is missing, and lets you add plans to a comparison. **Compare** puts two to four plans side by side, your ticked features first, showing only the differences unless you untick that option. **Full table** (desktop only) is the complete matrix: every plan as a column, with **Choose plans** to add the Defender and Purview add-on suites, Microsoft 365 E7 or the Education plans, and **Show only differences** to hide rows where every selected plan is the same. Every feature links to Microsoft's own documentation.

The add-on columns (Defender Suite, Purview Suite and their Frontline, Business Premium and Education versions) list only what the add-on itself brings, so a ticked feature that sits in an add-on column needs the base plan plus the add-on.

**Copy link** gives you a URL that reopens the page with your ticks and settings, **Save selection** keeps it in your browser, and **Download CSV** exports the current view for a spreadsheet.

## Guides to the plans

If you would rather read than tick, the [Microsoft 365 licensing guide](https://computecloud.co.uk/microsoft-365/) explains the plan families with a price table, and there are short comparisons of [Business Premium vs Business Standard](https://computecloud.co.uk/microsoft-365/business-premium-vs-business-standard/), [Business Premium vs E3](https://computecloud.co.uk/microsoft-365/business-premium-vs-e3/) and [E3 vs E5](https://computecloud.co.uk/microsoft-365/e3-vs-e5/), plus a page on [what Business Premium costs](https://computecloud.co.uk/microsoft-365/business-premium-cost/).

## About the prices

Prices are Microsoft's UK and US list prices per user a month on an annual commitment, paid yearly, excluding VAT, for the versions that include Teams. Monthly commitment costs about 5% more. Prices marked *indicative* were not on Microsoft's UK price pages when we checked and come from UK resellers; Education plans are priced through education partners. Volume agreements, charity pricing and promotions differ, so treat the figures as a guide and confirm with your licensing partner before you commit.

## Not sure which plan is right?

Licensing is rarely as simple as the price list. A [free assessment from a Microsoft 365 licensing specialist](https://computecloud.co.uk/microsoft-365/assessment/?utm_source=m365-comparison-tool&utm_medium=tool&utm_campaign=page-copy) checks what you have today, where you are paying for features nobody uses, and which mix of plans and add-ons covers what you actually need. If you are also retiring on-premises servers, there is a separate [free Azure migration assessment](https://computecloud.co.uk/assessment/) covering scope, a ballpark cost and a timeline.
