The pricing story
Copilot's individual price hasn't moved since general availability in June 2022: $10/month, the cheapest major AI subscription in software. What changed is everything around it — a free tier arrived in December 2024, and the $39/month Pro+ tier landed in April 2025 for premium-model access, echoing the industry's '10x tier' pattern at a smaller multiple. Meanwhile the underlying economics shifted from flat-rate unlimited to 'premium request' quotas in 2025, a soft metering change that redefines what $10 buys without touching the sticker. Copilot is the case study in re-pricing via usage limits instead of dollars.
