Microsoft is set to increase prices for Dynamics 365 on October 1, 2024. This marks the first pricing hike for Dynamics customers in more than five years. This change will impact both new and existing customers globally.
New Dynamics 365 Pricing Details
Starting Oct. 1, Microsoft will raise prices on Dynamics 365 base licensed products. For existing customers, the pricing increase will be reflected at their next renewal date after Oct. 1.
Both cloud versions and on-premises Dynamics products will be affected. Notably, the price for Dynamics 365 Business Central will stay the same.
For US government customers, the price increase will be phased, beginning with a 10% hike on Oct. 1, and followed by a smaller increase on Oct. 1, 2025 to align with commercial pricing.
