In today’s fast-evolving business world, choosing the right tech tool can feel like a pivotal decision. It’s not just about cost—it’s about functionality, fit, and the real impact on your team’s day-to-day. Microsoft’s Teams Premium and Copilot for M365 each offer compelling ways to bring AI into your work, but they’re designed with different goals and budgets in mind.
Let’s break down what each option offers, what it’s best for, and how you can pick the right fit for your business.
Teams Premium is the practical, cost-effective option for businesses wanting to test AI without a major investment. It delivers several intelligent features within Teams, including intelligent recap, which automatically captures the key points, action items, and speakers for meetings. Imagine walking away from a meeting with a clear summary and actionable next steps—no need to chase down details or retrace discussions.
If your team spends a lot of time in meetings, this can be a game-changer. Teams Premium empowers people to focus on the conversation, confident that the details are being taken care of.
Teams Premium is ideal for those looking for AI benefits without diving into complex configurations. It allows for experimentation with a simple, approachable package.
If Teams Premium is a solid starter option, Copilot for M365 is the full-featured experience. Copilot offers extensive AI-driven tools across Microsoft 365 applications, from Word and Excel to Outlook and PowerPoint. It’s not just about enhancing one tool; it’s about enhancing the whole workflow across the suite of M365 tools you’re already using.
With Copilot, AI goes beyond summarising meetings. It assists in content creation, summarises long email threads, drafts reports, and automates complex tasks in Excel, providing full-spectrum support across Microsoft apps. It’s a powerful option, but it also requires a greater financial commitment.
Copilot for M365 is a robust choice for organisations ready to invest in a comprehensive AI solution that integrates seamlessly with their current workflows and offers measurable productivity gains. Copilot for M365 is currently $30USD with a 12 month commitment and up front payment requirement.
If you’re in a position where experimenting with AI sounds right but committing to a big-ticket item doesn’t, Teams Premium offers a solid first step. It gives you immediate, practical AI functionality without locking you into the larger investment.
However, if your organisation is ready to invest in deep productivity tools across the board, Copilot for M365 is a strategic solution. With its more advanced capabilities and a price tag to match, Copilot empowers teams to fully leverage Microsoft’s best AI tools across their day-to-day applications.
In the end, choosing between Teams Premium and Copilot comes down to where your business stands in its AI journey. Teams Premium offers a budget-friendly start, while Copilot for M365 is for organisations ready to go all-in.
