Microsoft has launched a revamped Copilot app that shifts from a flat‑fee subscription to a usage‑based pricing structure. The change is part of a broader effort to make the AI‑powered assistant more competitive with Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s ChatGPT offerings. CNBC’s MacKenzie Sigalos notes the overhaul includes new features aimed at improving integration with Microsoft’s productivity suite, though specific details were not disclosed in the video.
In a CNBC video posted on September 27, 2026, reporter MacKenzie Sigalos described Microsoft’s latest Copilot overhaul as a response to growing competition from Anthropic and OpenAI.
The core change highlighted is a transition to usage‑based pricing, moving away from the traditional subscription model that has powered Copilot’s earlier releases.
While the video did not enumerate new functionalities, it referenced a broader revamp intended to improve Copilot’s integration with Microsoft’s productivity tools, suggesting tighter coupling with Office applications.
No specific pricing figures, rollout dates, or regional availability details were provided, leaving those aspects uncertain pending further Microsoft communication.

The pricing shift could lower barriers for businesses and individual users who only need occasional AI assistance, potentially expanding Copilot’s market reach. By aligning its pricing model with industry trends, Microsoft aims to retain enterprise customers who might otherwise migrate to Anthropic or OpenAI solutions that already offer flexible consumption‑based billing. This move also signals Microsoft’s strategic focus on AI as a core component of its Office ecosystem, reinforcing its position in the rapidly evolving market.
