What’s the difference between monthly, annual, and annual commitment payments? Print

To provide customers with the greatest amount of flexibility, different payment options are available.

Office 365 Business, Business Essentials, and Business Premium plans are available for monthly commitment payment or annual commitment payment.

• Monthly commitment payment: You pay month by month, and you can cancel at any time.
• Annual commitment payment: You sign up for a one-year subscription, but you can choose to pay month to month or pay for the entire year at the time you sign up. There is a discount for using this payment option.

The Office 365 Enterprise plans (including standalone Enterprise plans such as Exchange Online) and Office 365 ProPlus are available for annual commitment payment.

• Annual commitment payment: You sign up for a one-year subscription, but you can choose to pay month to month or pay for the entire year at the time you sign up.
