Microsoft 365 offers flexible, scalable document processing services through a pay-as-you-go licensing model. This model is ideal for organizations seeking agility without upfront commitments.
Note
For Government Community Cloud (GCC) organizations, pay-as-you-go licensing—and the services that require pay-as-you-go licensing—aren't yet available. GCC organizations can continue to purchase and use per-user licenses until pay-as-you-go becomes available.
Benefits of pay-as-you-go licensing
No upfront license purchase: Use services as needed—only pay when services are used. Learn more about pay-as-you-go pricing.
Organization-wide access: Any user in your tenant can use the services, provided they have a Microsoft 365 license.
Azure-based billing: Use your active Azure subscription for billing. Learn more about setting up billing and the terms of service.
