| Which plan to pick | If you already pay for Claude, you have it. Try it on Free first, and move to Pro once you're making more than the odd document, because decks use up a Free allowance fast. Team makes sense when colleagues need to open and comment on the same documents. | 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. |
