Microsoft 365 Enterprise plans,
mapped to how your people work.

E7 is Microsoft's newest enterprise tier, generally available since May 2026. It bundles everything in E5 with Microsoft 365 Copilot, Agent 365 (AI agent governance) and the full Entra Suite into one licence at roughly a 15% discount versus buying all four separately. It makes the most sense once you're rolling Copilot out broadly (200+ users) and building custom AI agents that need centralised governance. If you're still piloting Copilot with a smaller group, E3 or E5 plus a standalone Copilot add-on is usually more cost-effective.

Both include the same desktop apps, Teams and baseline security (Defender P1 for both Endpoint and Office 365, plus Entra ID P1). E5 adds the "P2" tier of security — full EDR threat hunting, Defender for Identity, Defender for Cloud Apps, Entra ID P2 with Identity Protection and Privileged Identity Management — plus Power BI Pro, Teams Phone System, and advanced Purview compliance tools like Advanced eDiscovery and Insider Risk Management. E5 typically makes sense for regulated industries or organisations needing a dedicated security operations capability.

Yes. Copilot is available as a $30/user/month add-on to E3 or E5. E7 becomes worth considering once you'd otherwise be adding Copilot, Agent 365 and the Entra Suite all separately — at that point the bundle typically works out cheaper than buying each piece individually.

Agent 365 is Microsoft's new control plane for governing AI agents — extending your existing Defender, Entra and Purview security posture to cover agents built in Copilot Studio, not just human users. As organisations deploy more custom AI agents that can access company data and take actions, having audit trails and access governance for those agents becomes as important as it already is for employees.

F1 is the lowest-cost, view-only/kiosk-style tier with no dedicated mailbox — suited to shared-device scenarios. F3 adds a dedicated 2 GB Exchange mailbox and fuller web/mobile Office and Teams access, making it the more common choice for frontline staff who need their own email address and a richer daily toolset.

Yes, and it's how most enterprises actually license Microsoft 365. A common pattern is E7 for teams heavily using Copilot and custom agents, E5 for compliance-sensitive roles without Copilot, E3 for general office staff, and F1/F3 for frontline workers — all under one Microsoft 365 tenant, billed per user per tier.
