Business fit

Pros

  • Already in tools you use
  • No separate AI app to adopt
  • Predictable per-user cost
  • Enterprise controls, SSO
  • No training on your data (Business/Enterprise)

Cons

  • $30/user adds up for large teams
  • Tied to Microsoft ecosystem
  • Requires M365 subscription
  • Feature limits per plan
When it makes sense: Good for organisations already on Microsoft 365. Best when you want AI in Office apps without a separate tool. Compare total M365 + Copilot cost.
