Microsoft has been testing adding AI-powered Office apps, the most important feature of Copilot Pro, into the Microsoft 365 subscriptions in recent months. What was previously only available in Australia, New Zealand, and a number of countries across Asia is now expanding to most markets worldwide.

This raises the price of a Microsoft 365 Personal subscription from $7 a month or $70 a year to $10 and $100; a family subscription goes from $10 a month or $100 a year to $13 a month or $130 a year. For current subscribers, these prices go into effect the next time your plan renews.

This eliminates the need for a $20 Copilot Pro add-on to try the AI features in Office apps, but it increases the overall subscription fee. A Microsoft 365 Personal plan now costs

However, new features come with a price increase. The monthly cost will rise by $3, bringing the Personal plan to $10 per month (or $100 annually) and the Family plan to $13 per month (or $130 annually).

Microsoft 365 subscribers in Australia, New Zealand, and some Asian markets just got an AI upgrade, along with a huge price increase. How long until customers in the US and Europe see the same?

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) announced on Thursday that it has added Copilot AI features to its Microsoft 365 suite for individual users. This move comes a day after the company introduced on-demand AI agents for businesses.
