Office 365 Price Increase

Irish_Tom · Tuesday at 16:37

I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but I received an email from Microsoft about the annual Family Office 365 subscription increasing from £79.99 to £104.99.

This increase pays for Copilot integration into all of your Microsoft apps. If you don't want or need Copilot, you can downgrade to 'the Family Classic' plan, which will keep the original price.

That's a big increase.

I wonder how many home users will ditch it or pay up

I bet a lot of people will pay up and not know that you can downgrade to get the old price.

I can't see an option anywhere to downgrade to Family Classic though.

You have to go to cancel and it should give you the options.

Cheapest at the mo seems to be £60 for 15months

Where can you get it for £60?

My new sub hasn't started yet so I'm tempted to cancel and go down the code route.

Having slept on it, I've decided to cancel my subscription altogether.

I already pay for Google Workspace and use Google Docs for work, so I'll see how I get on without MS Office and resubscribe if I can't cope without it.

I do wish I could drop it too - but I'm so reliant on Excel and haven't been able to make Google Sheets come close to what I get out of Excel.

I do love a spreadsheet but I'm far from an Excel power user, so I hope that I'll get away with it.

Do you know how to downgrade? I cant see the option.

You have to click to cancel and then it gives you more options.
