    Hello, good day and thanks for your question. I understand that you have a query with regards to Microsoft 365.

    If you currently have a subscription, you can go to account.microsoft.com/services and login with your Microsoft account to confirm on which exact subscription is reflecting on your account.

    For the pricing, individuals and business subscriptions depends on what is included in the package and for the inclusions of differences and other information you can also check the Microsoft support link below.

    To check which Microsoft 365 or Office product is installed:

    1. Open any Office app such as Word or Excel.
    2. Select Account.
      • If Account is not visible, select File > Account or Help.
    3. Under Product Information, check:
      • Product name — for example, Microsoft 365 ProPlus or Office Home and Student.
      • Version number — includes the version, build number, and installation type.
    4. For more detail, select About Excel or the equivalent About option in the app.

    On Mac:

    1. Open Word.
    2. Select the Word menu.
    3. Select About Word.
    4. The dialog shows the version number and license type.

    If the product name shows a Microsoft 365 subscription, that identifies the version in use.

    For cost and plan differences:

    • Microsoft 365 is a subscription service with up-to-date apps, cloud storage, and advanced security.
    • Office 2024 is a one-time purchase for one computer and has no upgrade option to the next major release.
    • Microsoft 365 Personal is for one individual.
    • Microsoft 365 Family, Premium, and Pro can be shared with up to five additional people, but AI benefits are only available to the subscription owner.
    • Business plans are designed for small and mid-size businesses, enterprises, schools, and non-profits, and most business plans include fully installed desktop apps. Microsoft also offers basic business plans with online apps, file storage, and email.
    • A business plan may be appropriate when business files and services need to be kept separate from personal use.

    For pricing, Microsoft provides comparison pages rather than a single fixed price in the provided material.
