If you turn off your recurrent billing, these options magically appear as they beg you not to cancel.
Microsoft 365 43% price increase
Microsoft is increasing my monthly MS 365 subscription by 43% starting this month (Feb 2025)! It was $6.99 and is going up to $9.99. MS says it's to pay for Copilot AI. Wow!
They're charging me more for something that has a lot of problems including:
- Data privacy concerns
- Inaccurate outputs
- Performance lags
- Prompting complexity
- Bias concerns
- Compliance risks
Way to go Microsoft. You provide an inferior product and charge users for it. Great business model Microsoft!

I got the February Increase notice today, June 13, 2025. To me, the increase is what it is but shame on them for telling me four months late!
