Подписка Microsoft Copilot Pro: copilot.microsoft.com, Pro и бесплатная версия

Официальный разбор Copilot Pro: сравнение с бесплатной версией и M365, подписка Microsoft, веб и Windows в первый день.

If you want higher-priority models and more AI headroom on copilot.microsoft.com and Windows, start with what Microsoft officially says about the consumer Microsoft Copilot Pro subscription—not shared accounts or grey-market resellers.

This page follows Microsoft Support, the Microsoft 365 Blog, and Microsoft News for what Copilot Pro includes, how it differs from free Copilot and Microsoft 365–bundled Copilot, how to subscribe with a Microsoft account, and first-day steps on the web and on Windows.

Free Copilot vs Copilot Pro (official)

Microsoft Support says Microsoft Copilot (free) is available at no cost at copilot.cloud.microsoft for general Q&A and web tasks, and also on Windows, macOS, mobile, and Edge. Sign-in is optional; signing in with a personal Microsoft account unlocks chat history, image creation, longer conversations, and voice (per Getting started guidance).

The January 2025 Microsoft 365 Blog says most Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers now get Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and the Microsoft 365 Copilot app with a monthly AI credit allotment; on Family plans, AI benefits are for the subscription owner only. Heavy users can upgrade to Copilot Pro for extensive usage (same blog post).

The January 2024 Microsoft News post lists Copilot Pro benefits: a unified AI experience across devices; Copilot in Word, Excel (preview), PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote when you also have Microsoft 365 Personal or Family; priority access to the latest models (GPT-4 Turbo at launch); enhanced Designer image creation (100 boosts per day at launch); pricing at $20 USD per month per user. Model names, limits, and price follow checkout and Services & subscriptions in your account.

Subscribe to Copilot Pro (Microsoft account)

1. 1

   Use your personal Microsoft account

   Register or sign in at account.microsoft.com. Copilot Pro is a consumer plan, separate from work/school Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on licensing (Support — business plans section).

2. 2

   Buy through official channels

   Complete checkout in the Microsoft Store or under Services & subscriptions at account.microsoft.com/services. Purchases through Google Play or the Apple App Store must be cancelled with those stores (Support — manage Copilot Pro).

   After purchase, choose Manage on Services & subscriptions. If you see Turn on recurring billing, the subscription expires on the shown date without auto-charge until you turn billing back on.

4. 4

   Prerequisites for Copilot in Office apps

   Support says Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote generally requires an eligible Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, or Premium plan, with desktop AI limited to the subscription owner. Copilot Pro raises Copilot service tier; in-app Copilot still follows M365 plan rules and AI credits (AI credits and limits).
