Last August, Microsoft announced pricing changes for the following commercial products:  

• Microsoft 365 Business Basic:  from $6.40 to $9.24 per month
• Microsoft 365 Business Premium: from $25.60 to $33.84 per month
• Microsoft 365 Business Standard: from $16.00 to $19.20 per month
• Microsoft 365 E3: from $47.90 to $57.48 per month
• Office 365 E1: from $12.80 to $15.36 per month
• Office 365 E3: from $30.60 to $36.72 per month
• Office 365 E5: from $50.60 to $60.72 per month
• Teams Phone with Calling Plan: from $23.04 to $27.64 per month

The new pricing came into effect in March 2022. The company has applied these increases globally with local market adjustments for certain regions.  

This is the first substantive pricing update since Microsoft launched the 365 line over a decade ago.  

What does that mean for our customers? 

MSPs, such as MBC, are re-sellers of Microsoft products to their customers.  

This price increase from Microsoft will not result in an increase in our management fees, but we are forced to pass the software price increase to our customers, which will be reflected in their monthly billing. 

Please contact your account manager or our helpdesk to discuss how you can maximize the ROI from your Microsoft 365 or Office 365 subscription.
