Created On: April 1, 2020

In April 2020 Microsoft changed the names of the Office 365 plans for Business from “Office 365” to “Microsoft 365”. Before the change, the only non-enterprise plan was “Microsoft 365 Business”; however, now we have Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Microsoft 365 Business Standard, Microsoft 365 Business Premium, and Microsoft 365 Apps for Business. Only the names are changed, the price and the features of the plans have stayed the same. Below is a quick comparison table so you can quickly compare the high level details between the different plans.
