Pros & Cons

Microsoft Copilot

  • Pre-bundled SKUs (Business Standard+Copilot, Business Premium+Copilot) simplify combined licensing
  • SMB Business tier price cut to $21/user/month in late 2025, with a further temporary $18 promo
  • Deep integration across the full Microsoft 365 app suite provides genuine workflow-embedded AI assistance
  • True all-in cost ($69-90/seat/month) is substantially higher than the standalone Copilot add-on price alone
  • Requires a qualifying Microsoft 365 license as a prerequisite — not purchasable independently
  • Base Microsoft 365 suite prices also increased July 1, 2026, compounding the total cost increase

Meta AI

  • Genuine free access remains available (25-50 prompts/day) even after introducing paid tiers
  • Integrated directly into widely-used apps (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook) rather than a separate app
  • Meta One tiers provide a range of options from $7.99 to $499 depending on needs
  • Daily prompt limits (25 logged-out, 50 logged-in) restrict heavy free usage
  • Paid tiers were introduced specifically due to rising infrastructure costs (68% YoY increase in Llama hosting), suggesting continued cost pressure
  • Business Agent bills separately by token usage ($2.00/million tokens) starting August 2026
