Microsoft 365 Copilot introduces a consumption-based pricing model: What it means for users

Microsoft has launched a new consumption-based pricing tier for its Microsoft 365 Copilot AI assistant. This new service will offer businesses an alternative to the existing per-user subscription model. This move aims to accelerate the adoption of generative AI in the workplace. The new “Chat” option will allow organisations to pay for Copilot based on usage, rather than the number of employees with access. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella took to social media platform X (earlier Twitter) to announce the new model.
