For the first time since 2022, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) announced that it will increase the cost for commercial customers to use its Office productivity suite. Beginning July 1, 2026, subscribers will have to pay up to 33% more for the suite.
On its surface, this announcement seems like nothing special. Microsoft said it’s added 1,100 features to Microsoft 365, Security, Copilot, and SharePoint. Many of these features also integrate artificial intelligence (AI).
