Free plan and limits

Standalone free Copilot is not the same package as Microsoft 365 subscription features. Check app AI access, allowances and account eligibility separately; free web chat is not a free office suite or organization-file access.

Important limitations

Personal, work and school accounts have different permissions and data handling. Similar product names make plan selection confusing. Check generated formulas, claims and citations.

When to choose an alternative

Compare ChatGPT or Gemini for general conversation. For Office tasks, first inspect your existing Microsoft 365 entitlement instead of buying another plan just for its brand.

Alternative suggestions are editorial, task-based judgments, not standardized performance tests.
