Microsoft to Increase Prices of Commercial Office Suites in July
that.Microsoft will raise subscription prices for its Office suite (Microsoft 365 and Office 365) for commercial and government customers on July 1, with increases ranging from 5% to 13% on plans such as Business Standard ($14) and Enterprise E3 ($26). The company cites over 1,100 new features and AI‑enhanced Copilot as justification, aiming to counter Google Workspace competition and boost margins. Volume‑discounts have been reduced, and analysts view the hike as a strategic move to monetize AI while leveraging Microsoft’s market dominance.
