Microsoft has announced its first price adjustment for Dynamics 365 Business Central in over five years, reflecting the platform’s significant evolution and the value it delivers to small and medium-sized businesses worldwide. The new pricing will take effect on 1 November 2025, giving partners and customers time to prepare for the change.
Why the Change?
Since the last pricing update, Business Central has undergone a major transformation. Microsoft has introduced hundreds of new features across finance, analytics, supply chain, and manufacturing, alongside deep integration with the Microsoft Power Platform. The addition of AI-powered capabilities, including Microsoft Copilot, has redefined how businesses manage operations, automate processes, and gain real-time insights.
Key enhancements include:
- Copilot in Business Central for AI-driven assistance.
- Real-time financial analysis and AI-powered account reconciliation.
- Advanced financial and manufacturing analytics.
- A dedicated sustainability module and improved master data management.
- Stronger localisations and interoperability with other Microsoft solutions.
What’s Changing in Pricing and Storage
To align with these innovations, Microsoft is introducing a modest price increase while also boosting storage entitlements for each license:
These changes apply to new cloud subscriptions and existing subscriptions upon renewal on or after 1 November 2025. Customers can still purchase at current prices before this date.
What It Means for Businesses
The pricing update reflects Microsoft’s commitment to delivering greater value through continuous innovation. With AI-driven automation, enhanced analytics, and expanded storage, Business Central remains a powerful, scalable solution for organisations looking to streamline operations and drive growth.
For businesses considering a move to Business Central, now is an ideal time to act before the new pricing takes effect. Existing customers should review their renewal timelines and explore the latest features to maximise ROI.
