The current hype around AI has been greatly helped by the fact that tools such as ChatGPT, Bard and Bing Chat are available completely free of charge. However, Microsoft is preparing to end the “all free” trend and will start charging for the use of its AI services in commercial settings.
For now, and as the Redmond company announced yesterday on its corporate blog , Bing Chat will no longer be a completely free tool when used in the future for commercial purposes.
In order to continue using this uae number screening tool in commercial environments, you will need to have a subscription to Microsoft 365 , a service that is available across the pond starting at $20 per month per user. However, users who wish to access Bing Chat without necessarily being subscribed to Microsoft 365 can pay $5 per month per user to benefit from the famous chatbot.
This pricing plan refers to the cost of this service in the United States , since Microsoft has not yet announced the price of Bing Chat in Europe.
The Redmond company has also announced the price of the “Microsoft 365 Copilot” AI package for commercial users . This package will cost an additional $30 per month per user (which will be added to the price of the monthly Microsoft 365 subscription).
