Home Microsoft 365 plans use Copilot AI features as pretext for a price hike

SMRTR summary

Microsoft is raising prices for its Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscriptions while adding AI features. New rates are $79.99 per year for Personal and $109.99 for Family plans, including limited access to Copilot AI. Existing subscribers can keep current prices for now. This marks the first US price increase for personal subscriptions in over a decade. Unlimited AI usage still requires a separate $20 monthly Copilot Pro subscription.
