Common questions
Copilot editions, in plain English
- What's the difference between Copilot, Copilot Pro and Microsoft 365 Copilot?
- Copilot Chat is the free, Entra-authenticated chat included with most Microsoft 365 plans — web-grounded, with commercial data protection. Copilot Pro is an ~AU$33/user/month individual add-on that puts Copilot inside the Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook desktop apps. Microsoft 365 Copilot (~AU$45.90/user/month) is the business product that grounds answers in your own tenant data via Microsoft Graph and unlocks Copilot Studio agents.
- Is Copilot for business the same as Copilot Pro?
- No. Copilot Pro is a single-user add-on and does not read your organisation's shared data. The business 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. Copilot Pro (~AU$33/month) is the cheapest paid option for in-app help for a single person.
