Questions

Email the team
Did our Microsoft 365 prices go up?

Probably. Most Microsoft 365 and Office 365 commercial suites rose on 1 July 2026. Business Premium and Office 365 E1 did not. Existing subscriptions pay the new price from their first renewal on or after that date.

What changed on 1 July 2026

What does the licensing review cost?

The assessment is free, and the licence review that follows is usually free too. There's no obligation to change anything.

Business Premium or Microsoft 365 E3?

Business Premium costs £16.90 per user a month and Microsoft 365 E3 £33.50, so E3 is £16.60 a month, or £199.20 a year, more per user. Business plans share a limit of 300 users, so above that most organisations mix the two rather than move everyone to E3.

Business Premium vs E3

Do we need Copilot for everyone?

No. Copilot is licensed per person, so start with the people who will use it most. Microsoft 365 Copilot is £23.10 per user a month. Copilot Business, for up to 300 users, is £16.10, or £13.80 for the first year on Microsoft's offer for new annual subscriptions bought by 31 December 2026 (before 1 December through a reseller).

Copilot prices

Will prices change again on 1 January 2027?

Possibly. From 1 January 2027 Microsoft will review local-currency cloud prices once a year. It hasn't yet said whether prices in pounds will change, and its guidance is due in November 2026.

Licensing changes

When should we review our plans?

Before each renewal. Microsoft fixes a subscription's price for its term and can change it at renewal, so the renewal date is the time to check both plans and prices.

Can we buy our licences through you?

Yes. Focus Group, our Microsoft delivery partner, is a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP), so you can buy your Microsoft 365 licences through them. You don't have to: the recommendation is yours to use however you buy.
