Microsoft expands today to more markets its $20 monthly subscription to Copilot Pro, after launching the AI-based assistant in January. With this expansion, Copilot Pro is now available in a total of 222 countries, and Microsoft is offering a one-month free trial to encourage customers to subscribe.
Copilot Pro includes priority access to the latest OpenAI models, the ability to create your own Copilot GPT, and access to Copilot within Office applications if you are already subscribed to Microsoft 365 Personal or Home.
Now, Microsoft is also unlocking Copilot Pro within the web applications of Office, so you don’t need a separate Microsoft 365 subscription to use the chatbot within Word, Outlook, and other free web applications.
How to get Copilot Pro for free
This integration of Copilot Pro will also be available on mobile apps soon: “In the coming months, we will also extend this advantage to our free mobile apps, including the Microsoft 365 app and Outlook for iOS and Android,” says Divya Kumar, General Manager of Search and AI Marketing at Microsoft.
If you want to try Copilot Pro, you will need to install the Copilot app on iOS or Android to get the free month offer. Microsoft has been trying to attract consumers to use the Copilot mobile app since its launch in late 2023, even with a Super Bowl ad focused solely on the mobile version.
Microsoft is also expanding the availability of its Copilot for Microsoft 365 to more businesses. “Customers with Microsoft 365 F3 and F1, Office 365 E1, Business Basic, and more will be able to purchase Copilot for Microsoft 365 in the coming weeks,” Kumar says.
Microsoft is now preparing to showcase more improvements to Copilot in the coming months, including some changes to Windows 11 that will likely be detailed at the Build developer conference that the company will hold in May.
