The pricing for Copilot is higher than the market's expected range, with some analysts predicting a price closer to $10 per month. However, Copilot's integration with the Microsoft Graph, which includes all user and business data, allows it to offer more capabilities than other AI applications. Some estimates suggest that Copilot could generate over $25 billion in annual revenue for Microsoft.
Key takeaways:
- Microsoft 365 will charge businesses $30 per user per month for its AI-powered Copilot, a tool that assists with various tasks within the 365 Suite.
- The OpenAI-powered assistant will be available for Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Standard and Business Premium customers, and has been tested with 600 enterprise customers worldwide.
- The pricing set by Microsoft for Copilot is significantly higher than the high-end expected range of the market, with some analysts having anticipated a price closer to $10 per month.
- Despite the high cost, Copilot's extensive access to user and business data within the Microsoft Graph makes it a compelling option with more capabilities than other AI applications.
