- Copilot Chat is the free, Entra-authenticated chat included with most Microsoft 365 plans — web-grounded, with commercial data protection.

Checked July 2026.
- Can you still buy Copilot Pro?
- No. Microsoft has withdrawn Copilot Pro from sale, and support for existing subscribers ends on 1 August 2026. For personal use the replacement is Microsoft 365 Premium at AU$33.00 per month or AU$329.00 per year. For an organisation the product is Microsoft 365 Copilot, which requires a qualifying base licence (Business Standard/Premium or E3/E5).
- What's the cheapest way to get Copilot?
- Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is included at no extra licence cost on most Microsoft 365 plans, so it's the cheapest way to start.
