Microsoft expands Copilot access with new SMB-friendly pricing and bundles at Ignite 2025
Microsoft Ignite 2025 delivered a clear message: the AI era isn’t just for enterprises anymore.
With new pricing models and simplified bundles, Microsoft is putting advanced AI productivity tools within reach for millions of small to midsize businesse, creating a massive opportunity for partners ready to lead their customers into the next phase of intelligent work.
Here’s one of the key updates you need to know.
M365 Copilot Business is here
Beginning Dec. 1, 2025, Microsoft is introducing Microsoft 365 Copilot Business, a brand-new SKU designed specifically for organizations with fewer than 300 seats.
Why this is awesome
Copilot Business includes the full feature set of the current Microsoft 365 Copilot offering—at a new ERP of $21/user/month, compared to $30 for the enterprise version.
With no feature limitations and a dramatically reduced price point, this SKU finally brings advanced workplace AI within reach for budget-conscious SMBs that want to modernize but haven’t been able to justify the investment.
It’s a game-changing moment for AI accessibility—and a wide-open door for partners to begin driving Copilot adoption across their SMB customer base.
New bundled offers that simplify AI adoption for SMBs
Microsoft also announced three new Business + Copilot Business bundles, designed for customers who want the fastest, most cost-effective path to Copilot readiness.
Starting Dec. 1, the following bundles will be available:
- M365 Business Basic + Copilot Business — $27/user/month
- M365 Business Standard + Copilot Business — $33.50/user/month
- M365 Business Premium + Copilot Business — $43/user/month
These bundles are single SKUs meant to streamline purchasing and offer predictable pricing, making it easier than ever for partners to position AI-enhanced Microsoft 365 plans as the foundation for a modern, secure and productive workplace.
What this means for partners
These Ignite announcements represent a strategic shift toward democratizing AI across every customer segment. You’ll see:
1. A dramatically expanded addressable market
With a lower cost of entry and simplified requirements, SMBs can now adopt Copilot at scale—accelerating cloud and AI conversations across your entire customer base.
2. Stronger value propositions
The new pricing makes it easier to position Microsoft 365 not just as a productivity suite, but as an intelligent business platform powered by everyday automation, smart insights, and AI-driven workflows.
3. Faster time to value for customers
Turnkey bundles remove complexity and help customers get started immediately, reducing friction and creating an easier path toward additional services, onboarding support and managed AI offerings.
