Pricing Explained

How Copilot Studio pricing works

Microsoft Copilot Studio uses "messages" as its unit of consumption. Understanding what consumes messages — and how to manage the cost — is essential before you build.

📩

What is a message?

Each exchange in a conversation with a Copilot agent counts as one or more messages. Classic bot logic consumes 1 message per turn. Generative AI responses consume 2 messages per turn.

Classic conversation
~$0.0105 per message
Generative AI response
~$0.021 per message (2× consumption)

Included quota

Every Microsoft 365 Copilot licence includes 25 tenant messages per user per month — shared across all agents your organisation publishes. This is your free allowance before any extra spend.

Per M365 Copilot licence

Additional capacity packs

When your agents need more messages than your included quota, you purchase capacity packs. Each pack gives you 25,000 additional messages per month.
