Consider Exchange Online license in M365 Tenant

  • We start considering the use of Exchange Online for the mail service integration in the business application environment.
  • M365 tenant has the service except the Exchange online hence the better is to use the Exchange online for the mail service platform of the business.
  • Exchange Online Plan 1 is considered in addition to the existing service such as Teams having license purchased already.
  • We notice that the other license package is available with having these service combined in the reasonable price.
    • Teams + Exchange Online Plan 1 costs about 2000 Yen per a person in a month. benefit is that the Teams can be disposed anytime. Exchange online requires the purchase per a year.
    • M365 Business Basic license contains the Teams and Exchange online. It costs about 900 Yen per month for a person. But, the demerit is that the payment is made per a year. But, not so bad at this price. There is a plan that the payment is made per a month but, it does not have the discount price. There is no benefit from this.
    • See : Compare All Microsoft 365 Plans | Microsoft
    • and see: Compare Microsoft Exchange Online Plans Microsoft 365

  • Note: Both Teams and Exchange Online Plan 1 experiences can be provided through only Web version Outlook.
  • As the conclusion the best is to use the M365 Business basic instead of combining Teams and Exchange online plan 1 licenses.
