Microsoft has recently made significant price increases to its M365 online services in several Asian and Australasian countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. The price hikes are up to 46% for some subscriptions, with Family plans increasing by 29% and Personal plans by 46%. These changes are aimed at funding the integration of powerful AI features into Microsoft apps.
The new pricing reflects the additional benefits and enhancements Microsoft has introduced over the years, such as advanced security features, creative tools, and improvements to popular software like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Despite the steep increases, Microsoft emphasizes the value these changes bring to its customers.
It remains uncertain whether other countries, including the UK and the US, will also experience similar price adjustments. The company’s decision to raise prices has raised questions about the competitiveness of its subscription plans compared to rivals like Google One and iCloud+, which offer different AI and storage options at varying price points.
As more details unfold, customers are advised to stay informed about these changes and consider their options for continued access to Microsoft’s online services.
