Microsoft has announced the first price adjustment for Dynamics 365 Business Central in more than five years. New prices take effect October 1, 2025 and will apply to new subscriptions immediately and to existing subscriptions at their first renewal on or after that date. Below is a concise rundown of the changes and the reasons behind them.
What's Changing?
| License | Current price (until Sept 30 2025) | New price (from Oct 1 2025) | Included storage |
| Essentials | $70 USD user/month | $80 USD user/month | ↑ from 2 GB → 3 GB |
| Premium | $100 USD user/month | $110 USD user/month | ↑ from 3 GB → 5 GB |
| Device | $40 USD device/month | $45 USD device/month | ↑ from 1 GB → 1.5 GB |
Pricing in currencies other than US dollars will also vary for any Microsoft's currency conversion rate adjustments that occur prior to October 1, if any.
Why Is Microsoft Increasing Prices?
This is the first price adjustment for Business Central in the cloud since its launch. The new pricing reflects significant advancements in the platform, including:
- Copilot and AI features that help automate tasks and boost productivity
- Improved integration with Microsoft 365 and Power Platform
- Regular feature updates and enhancements delivered through Microsoft's release waves
- Continued investment in security, performance, and scalability
Who Is Affected?
Any organization using Dynamics 365 Business Central online will be impacted by this pricing change. This includes:
- Current clients whose subscription renews after October 1, 2025
- New customers purchasing licenses after this date
What Should You Do Next?
Here's how you can prepare:
