Microsoft’s Windows 365 Cloud PC service is now generally available, and pricing is public. The service will cost users anywhere between $20 to $162 per user per month, based on cores, RAM and storage.
When Microsoft unveiled its Windows 365 Cloud PC desktop-as-a-service product last month, officials said they’d release pricing on the day the service became generally available, August 2. As promised, the company has published pricing, and it ranges from $20 per user per month for the lowest end SKU, to $162 per user per month for the most expensive one. Windows 365 is Microsoft’s newest remote-desktop offering, which builds on top of and complements Azure Virtual Desktop. Windows 365 will allow users to bring their Windows 10 or (once it’s available later this fall), Windows 11 desktop, apps, tools, data, and settings to their personal and work devices, including PCs, Macs, iPads, Linux, and Android devices, via a native Remote Desktop application or web browser. On July 15, Microsoft officials (accidentally?) revealed pricing for one of the handful of Windows 365 SKUs at $31 per user per month. Today is the day all of the pricing goes public. Pricing is based on the number of virtual cores, RAM and storage a customer will be able to access in their « Cloud PC » virtual machine. Windows 365 is available in two editions: Windows 365 Business and Windows 365 Enterprise.
