Microsoft 365 features that help users manage their subscriptions, account settings, and billing information.
Microsoft 365 consumer subscriptions (such as Microsoft 365 Personal and Family) currently have two main types of plans mentioned in the context:
- Plans that include Copilot (for example, Microsoft 365 Family with Copilot)
- "Classic" plans that do not include Copilot (for example, Microsoft 365 Family Classic)
From the context for Australia:
- Microsoft 365 Family (with Copilot) renews at $18 AUD per month (tax inclusive).
- Microsoft 365 Family Classic (without Copilot) renews at $14 AUD per month (tax inclusive).
Classic plans include the core Microsoft 365 apps and security updates but do not include Copilot and may not receive new feature updates. Plans that include Copilot add AI features such as Copilot in Office apps and Designer.
To see the current plan and change it (including switching to a Classic plan where available):
- Go to the Microsoft account Services page and sign in with the account used for the subscription.
- Locate the Microsoft 365 subscription in the list of services.
- Select Manage (or Manage subscription) for that subscription to view:
- The current plan name (for example, Microsoft 365 Family or Microsoft 365 Family Classic)
- Billing details such as renewal price and date
- To switch to a Classic plan (where offered), use the Cancel subscription or downgrade path shown there. In the scenarios described in the context, cancelling or downgrading presents an option to move to the Classic plan at the lower price.
For Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on licenses in business/enterprise environments, pricing and plan details are provided on the Microsoft 365 Copilot plans page. IT admins assign Copilot add-on licenses to users; once assigned, Copilot Chat can use organizational data and integrate across Microsoft 365 apps. The detailed Copilot plan pricing is available in the referenced Copilot plans documentation.
