Reasons Behind the Price Increases
This price hike is the first for Dynamics 365 in five years. During this period, the business landscape has evolved significantly, presenting new challenges. Microsoft has made substantial investments in enhancing their products, and introducing new functionalities and value to users.

The price increase will allow Microsoft to continue investing in research and development for Dynamics 365. This includes integrating advanced innovations, cutting-edge technology, and AI capabilities. Microsoft remains committed to providing twice-yearly updates for Dynamics 365 products, ensuring users benefit from enhanced functionality regularly. This approach equips users with the best tools to navigate an increasingly digital world and respond to evolving market challenges and opportunities.

Implications for Dynamics 365 Customers
Starting from October 1st, 2024, the new prices will apply globally to both new and existing customers. If you already have a Dynamics 365 subscription, the price increase will not affect you until your next renewal date. If you start your subscription before October 2024, you can lock in the current price until your next renewal.

Despite the price changes, everything else about Dynamics 365 remains the same. You’ll continue to receive the same service, products, functionality, and access to twice-yearly updates.
