We’ve praised Microsoft Copilot since it launched as Bing Chat, but what about the Copilot Pro subscription? Is it worth paying $20 monthly?
Have you ever wondered what running a cutting-edge AI chatbot like ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot costs? Estimates vary, but analysts believe the operational expenses amount to millions of dollars within a week! That’s a lot of money for any company to sink into a free service — without any advertising revenue to make up for it. So it’s no surprise that AI companies now offer paid subscriptions to help offset the costs. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at Microsoft Copilot Pro, how it differs vs the free version of Copilot, and whether you should consider upgrading.Copilot vs Copilot Pro: What’s the difference?
Shortly after Microsoft rebranded Bing Chat to Copilot, it unveiled a new paid tier called Copilot Pro, eliminating some of the chatbot’s restrictions and unlocking new features elsewhere. Here’s everything you get from Copilot Pro vs the free version of Copilot:
It’s worth noting that Microsoft only guarantees Copilot Pro support in a handful of languages. That said, most major languages like English, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese have made the list.
A Copilot Pro subscription will cost you $20 plus tax every month, or the equivalent in your local currency. That’s the same as ChatGPT Plus, the first AI chatbot paid tier.
Microsoft offers a one-month free trial for Copilot Pro, but I’ve only noticed the offer when logged into the mobile app.
