How to Cancel Microsoft Copilot Pro in 2026

Copilot Pro costs $20/month — and to use it in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, you also need Microsoft 365 ($7-10/mo). That's $27-30/month for AI features you might use twice a week.

💡 Free Copilot Still Works: Microsoft Copilot (free) at copilot.microsoft.com handles basic AI chat, image generation, and web search. You only lose priority access, Office integration, and higher usage limits.

The Double-Billing Trap

🔴 Common issue: Many people subscribe to Copilot Pro ($20/mo) thinking it includes Office apps. It doesn't. You need:

Copilot Pro: $20/mo (AI features only)
Microsoft 365 Personal: $7/mo (Office apps)
Total: $27/mo ($324/year) just for AI in Office

If you only want AI chat, free ChatGPT or Claude does the same thing without the M365 requirement.

Better (Free) Alternatives

ChatGPT (free) — GPT-4o access, no subscription needed for basic use
Claude (free) — Anthropic's AI, excellent for writing and analysis
Google Gemini (free) — integrated with Google Workspace for free
Perplexity (free) — AI search that cites its sources
Google Docs + Gemini (free) — AI writing assistance built into Google Docs at no extra cost
