November 1, 2025, Microsoft is implementing major changes to the M365 license pricing structure.
Microsoft is eliminating volume discounts and moving all online services to standardized list pricing. For many organizations, this means a 7–26% increase in Microsoft 365 costs overnight.
- Midmarket firms with 1,000 users could see $27K+ annual increases
- Large enterprises with 10,000 users could face $1.4M more per year
The right partner can help you navigate these shifts, control costs, and find new value in your Microsoft 365 investment.
