POV: you're buying copilot

Oh you want to buy Copilot for your 5,000 person organization and you heard it's $18 a month? I mean, ish. So first of all, you're probably not on the right Microsoft 365 license. So before we even touch Copilot, we'll need definitely upgrade you to a much more expensive plan and that's really step one of getting just the bottom tier Copilot. If you want anything premium, then we'll have of course add prices onto that. And in reality, you're also stepping into a usage-based AI token, and you really don't know how many prompts your people will run, how many sessions, how many documents they'll summarize, or how many useless agents they'll spin up because you want user-based innovation, right? I'm right? Just know those actions will absolutely burn through your token stack. You'll probably be wondering, so what will I actually pay in a month? The honest answer is you'll have no idea until after you've used it, right? We'll estimate some sort of token usage that's totally arbitrary and sell you a nice bundle of credits. But when people inevitably over use it because they like it, then we'll, you know, just show up with a lovely surprise bill of a couple of mil. Now, technically, you can cancel, but practically, we know you're not ripping it out once 5,000 people are using it and their jobs revolve around it. So no, it's not $18 a month, that's a made-up marketing number. And is it one clean subscription? Absolutely not. It's stacked on top of a bunch of other very expensive unknown charges.
