Microsoft 365 Pricing FAQs

Generated using AI

According to G2 reviewers, Microsoft 365's pricing structure suits a broad range of users but maps most clearly to specific segments. The Business Basic tier appeals to budget-conscious small businesses needing email and collaboration without desktop apps. Business Standard is the most widely praised tier among G2's small and mid-market reviewers across industries like consulting, marketing, and IT, who need full desktop Office apps and Teams. Business Premium resonates with mid-market and enterprise reviewers in regulated industries like banking, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare, where advanced security and compliance tools are priorities. G2 data on Microsoft 365 also shows strong adoption among organizations up to 300 users across nearly every industry.

Microsoft 365 does not offer a permanent free tier, but G2's pricing data for Microsoft 365 shows a free trial is available for evaluation. The entry-level Business Basic plan at $6.00 per month provides web and mobile Office apps, Exchange email, Teams, and 1 TB OneDrive storage, but lacks desktop app installations. Microsoft 365 Business Standard at $12.50 per month adds full desktop versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, plus webinar tools and Clipchamp. Microsoft 365 Business Premium at $22.00 per month further includes advanced cybersecurity, endpoint protection, and sensitive information classification, features G2 reviewers in IT and security roles specifically value.

G2 reviewers of Microsoft 365 are largely positive about its value, with the platform earning a 4.5 out of 5 average rating. Many G2 users highlight that consolidating email, cloud storage, collaboration tools, and desktop apps into one subscription justifies the cost, particularly for businesses. However, cost concerns are among the most frequently cited dislikes across G2 reviews, with individual users, small businesses, and those in lower-income regions finding the subscription model expensive compared to free alternatives like Google Workspace. G2 reviewers who use Microsoft 365 through employer or institutional licenses tend to rate it as excellent value, while independent users and students are more price-sensitive.

"Microsoft Office is the best!"

5/5

What do you like best about Microsoft 365?

I use Word and Excel daily. I couldn't imagine getting my work done without them. I have tried using low-cost/free competitors, but they aren't in the same league. I write status reports, track attendance, calculate hours worked into PTO earned, just about everything in my day-to-day is in Word or Excel. I also use Power Point for the occasional presentation, or for items that require just a quick graphical touch. Office 365 just seems to work, and it allows more flexibility than the freebie apps.

What do you dislike about Microsoft 365?

My only real dislikes with Office are in Word. I am still not a fan of the menu ribbon that was added a few years ago. Sometimes, it can be difficult to find the functionality that I'm searching for. Also, in Word, if you try to add images to documents, all sorts of crazy formatting errors can occur. I think that's something we've all learned to live with at this point.
