| Which plan to pick | Pro on the yearly plan is the only sensible individual option, because month to month costs three times as much. Go to Team only if several people build decks and you want the brand locked, since $40 a seat adds up fast. | Use the free credits to make two or three decks and judge the output. If you'll keep using it, Plus is the sensible step because it removes the badge and refreshes credits monthly. Only move to Pro if you want the API, custom domains or viewer analytics. | If your business is on a Microsoft 365 Business plan, Copilot Business is the one to trial, and only for the people who live in Outlook, Teams and Word all day. Don't buy it for everyone on day one. Check the current per-user price on Microsoft's site, because it changes with promotions. |
