Which plan to pickIf 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.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.There's no half-way option: Business is the first plan with real Notion AI, so budget $20 a member a month. If your team is five people on Plus, that's an extra $50 a month, which is fair if meeting notes and search save each person an hour a week.

Pros and cons

AttributeClaude Docs & SlidesMicrosoft 365 CopilotNotion AI
Pros
  • No extra subscription if you already use Claude, and Free can try it
  • The document or deck comes out of the same chat that did the research
  • Edit directly or by asking, without copying text into another app
  • Exports to the formats clients and colleagues already use
  • Report and deck stay consistent because they come from one conversation
  • Deepest connection to company email, files and meetings of any tool here
  • Meeting recaps in Teams save real hours
  • Excel help makes data approachable for non-analysts
  • Enterprise security and permissions come built in
  • Agents can be built without a developer
  • Answers from your own knowledge base, not the web
  • Meeting notes land exactly where the project lives
  • Database autofill saves hours of manual tagging
  • Agent can do multi-step work across your workspace
  • Official Claude connection for deeper automation
Cons
  • No brand templates in Slides, so decks look generic next to Claude Design or Gamma
  • Rewriting a long doc eats your Claude usage limits quickly, especially on Free and Pro
  • Rough edges on complex formatting, and co-editing and version history are lighter than Google Docs
  • Decks are starting to look recognisably "made by Claude" to clients
  • Sometimes makes a Claude Doc when you wanted a plain Word file, and docs don't flow back into Project knowledge
  • An add-on cost on top of your existing licence, so it adds up fast
  • Writing quality is flatter than Claude or ChatGPT
  • Results suffer if your files and SharePoint are disorganised
  • Pricing and plan names change often and are hard to follow
  • Can be slow in large tenants
  • Needs the Business plan, which doubles the cost of Plus
  • Useless if your knowledge isn't already in Notion
  • Writing quality is fine but behind Claude for long pieces
  • Search quality depends on how well your workspace is organised
