Microsoft has been wanting to raise the price of Microsoft 365 globally because it hasn’t changed for many years, in most countries.
This test of changes to Microsoft 365 consumer plans is likely to go global, if it benefits Microsoft’s bottom line. In the meantime, it’s an opportunity for customers to save some money and beat the price rise.
