Microsoft Intune Plan 1 vs Plan 2 vs Intune Suite

By ClearSourcePublished Last checked

The Microsoft Intune device-management tiers as they stand after Microsoft’s 2026 packaging changes.

In short:

  • Plan 1: every managed user (usually via a suite)
  • Plan 2 / Suite: Business Premium or standalone Microsoft Intune customers who need advanced endpoint features that E3/E5 now include

ClearSource’s reading of Microsoft’s documentation — not a recommendation for your situation.

Microsoft Intune Plan 1 ≈ CHF 6.58, Microsoft Intune Plan 2 (add-on) CHF 3.20, Microsoft Intune Suite (add-on) ≈ CHF 8.23 per user and month. Microsoft list prices for Switzerland, annual commitment, excl. VAT, as of 4 October 2026; IT partners often quote lower.

  3. Microsoft Intune licences can be device-only; admins need no licence in tenants created after July 2021 (older tenants must turn on “Allow access to unlicensed admins”) [2]

What changed recently

Where Microsoft’s own pages disagree

  • What Microsoft Intune Plan 2 contains: Microsoft Learn says Plan 2 adds to Plan 1 “including Remote Help and Advanced Analytics”; the Swiss Intune pricing FAQ describes Plan 2 as Tunnel for MAM, specialty and shared devices and firmware updates, with Remote Help and Advanced Analytics as separate add-ons. [2] [4]
  • Microsoft 365 E7: the Swiss comparison table doesn’t show clearly which Microsoft Intune Suite items (Remote Help, Enterprise App Management, Endpoint Privilege Management, Advanced Analytics, Cloud PKI, Plan 2) are included; Microsoft’s pricing update says the E5 packaging changes apply to E7 too. [3] [5]
  • Microsoft Intune Suite and Intune Plan 1 standalone have no CHF price on Microsoft’s Swiss Intune page — only USD prices in its FAQ (USD 10 and USD 8). [4]
