Microsoft 365 Copilot is the paid add-on on top of free Copilot Chat. Your organisation licenses it through its Microsoft 365 tenant, at roughly $30 per user per month on annual enterprise pricing. It puts a Copilot pane inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams, so Copilot works on the document or inbox in front of you rather than only answering questions about it.

It also adds Work IQ grounding in your mail, files and meetings, and unlocks pre-built agents such as Researcher, Analyst and Facilitator. Unlike a Claude plan, you cannot upgrade it yourself: IT or procurement decides who gets it, often department by department. If you need it, name the exact capability you are missing when you ask.

Often confused with: Copilot Studio. Studio is for building custom agents and automations, priced separately on usage and usually run by IT. Microsoft 365 Copilot is the per-user licence for working with Copilot in your everyday apps.
