Want Microsoft 365? Just don't choose Premium - here's why
"Microsoft 365 comes in several different flavors, both for individuals and organizations. For individuals alone, you can choose among Basic, Personal, Family, and Premium. Excluding Basic, the other three subscriptions offer desktop versions of the core Office apps, namely Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook. With each one, Microsoft doles out a certain amount of OneDrive space. And as the much ballyhooed icing on the cake, Copilot AI is built in to generate content and answer your questions."
"For $1.99 a month or $19.99 a year for one person, the is the cheapest of the four plans. But you don't get much bang for your buck. Word, Excel, Outlook, and the other desktop Office applications are not included, so you'd have to rely on the free web-based versions if you want those programs. Copilot is also persona non grata with Basic."
Microsoft 365 is available in Basic, Personal, Family, and Premium plans for individuals. Personal, Family, and Premium include desktop versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook; Basic does not. Each subscription provides different amounts of OneDrive storage and includes Copilot AI to generate content and answer questions. Copilot limits are vague, which makes Premium a risky upgrade given its higher cost. Basic costs $1.99 per month ($19.99 per year), provides web and mobile access and 100GB of OneDrive, and lacks desktop apps and Copilot. Personal or Family plans offer better value for most users.
