Microsoft Teams pricing: the quick answer
Microsoft Teams is not sold on its own price line; it ships inside Microsoft 365, so what you pay is the bundle. The free plan handles 100 participants and 60-minute group meetings, then paid access starts at $4 per user a month for Teams Essentials, $7 for Business Basic, $14 for Business Standard, and $22 for Business Premium, all billed yearly as of July 17, 2026. Enterprise runs higher: the standalone Teams Enterprise license is $8.55, Microsoft 365 E3 is $39, and E5 is $60 per user a month on an annual commitment. Add-ons stack on top, with Teams Phone from $10 and Microsoft 365 Copilot at $30 per user a month.

Microsoft Teams Hidden Costs & Pitfalls
Because Teams rides inside Microsoft 365, the number that matters is what you bolt on. Three add-ons quietly reset the per-seat cost well above the base plan.
Microsoft Teams pricing, read against its live plans and category
Positioning
Microsoft Teams keeps its entry pricing low. Teams Essentials is $4/user/mo and Business Basic is $7/user/mo, both billed yearly, which undercuts most standalone meeting tools. The free tier still covers 60-minute group calls for up to 100 people. Business Standard at $14/user/mo adds desktop Office apps and webinars, and Business Premium at $22/user/mo adds security and device management. For a team already inside Microsoft 365 the math is easy. For a buyer who only wants video calls, the suite wrapped around Teams is more than they need.
Cost drivers
- 1Teams Phone Standard is a separate $10/user/mo add-on, and a domestic calling plan on top runs $17/user/mo.
- 2Full voice features push you toward E5 at $60/user/mo or the phone add-ons rather than the base plans.
- 3Business Premium costs more month to month than billed yearly, $26.40 versus $22 per user.
- 4Microsoft 365 Copilot is another $30/user/mo on enterprise plans, or $18 promotional on business plans.
Watch-outs
Voice is where the bill grows. A full phone system means either an E5 license at $60/user/mo or stacking the Teams Phone and calling-plan add-ons, and buyers regularly flag that as the part that surprises them. Prices have also drifted up: Business Standard moved from $12.50 to $14 and Business Basic from $6 to $7 per user a month.
Strengths
Teams Essentials at $4/user/mo (annual) is a cheap way to get meetings, recordings, and 10 GB of storage, and there is a free plan under it.
- Free plan for small groups
- Paid meetings start at $4 per user a month
- Strong user ratings (4.3/5 on G2)
What users say
“even if the switch to Microsoft Teams causes 1 hour of productivity...”
“Looks like M365 and Teams are splitting...”
Editor’s take
Teams Essentials and Business Basic fit budget-minded small teams, Business Standard suits anyone who needs desktop Office apps, and the enterprise E3 and E5 plans carry the security and voice stack. If you only want video calls without the Microsoft 365 lock-in, a single-purpose tool like Zoom at $12.49/mo is worth a look.
