Questions people ask
Business Premium or Microsoft 365 E3: how does the 300-seat cap work?
Per tenant. The 300-seat cap counts every Business plan in the tenant together. Business Premium is the security suite for smaller companies; E3 has no seat cap and adds Windows Enterprise, Exchange Online Plan 2 and more Microsoft Intune. You can mix the two, so user 301 can just get E3.
What do we need before rolling out Microsoft 365 Copilot?
Each Microsoft 365 Copilot user needs a qualifying Microsoft 365 base licence, a paid Copilot licence, a Microsoft Entra ID account, a primary mailbox in Microsoft Exchange Online and the Office apps on Current or Monthly Enterprise Channel. Copilot Business is for Business plans up to 300 users; Microsoft 365 Copilot covers everyone else.
Monthly or annual commitment: what’s the real difference?
Monthly costs 20% more: Business Premium is CHF 21.38 instead of CHF 17.82. In return, you can reduce seats every month. Annual fixes the price for the year, but you can only reduce or cancel seats within 7 days of buying or renewing.
