What is Microsoft 365 Copilot?
Microsoft 365 Copilot is not a standalone replacement for Microsoft 365. Microsoft documents it as an add-on that can be purchased for users who already have eligible licenses such as Microsoft 365 Business Premium, Microsoft 365 Apps for business, Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, Microsoft 365 E3, Office 365 E1, Office 365 E3, Office 365 E5, Teams Essentials, or Exchange Online plans in supported scenarios.
This product belongs to the Microsoft 365 category and should be evaluated according to its actual Microsoft licensing model rather than generic software descriptions. Buyers typically compare edition scope, access rights, deployment style, and long-term fit before purchasing.
