A step-by-step guide to deploying Microsoft 365 Copilot Business for UK SMBs under 300 users, covering licence requirements, GBP pricing, data governance, and the July 2026 price changes.
Google bundles Gemini AI into every Workspace plan at no extra charge. Microsoft sells Copilot as a £16.10-per-user add-on on top of your existing Microsoft 365 licence. For a 10-person UK team, that gap adds up to roughly £1,932 per year — and it widens further after July 2026, when Microsoft restructures its licensing into new Copilot bundles with higher base prices. But cost alone does not settle the question. Copilot sits inside Excel, Word and Outlook — the tools that dominate UK office work. Gemini lives in Google Docs, Sheets and Gmail, with a 1-million-token context window that lets it chew through entire document sets in one go. This piece compares both AI assistants head-to-head across the workflows, costs and gotchas that matter to a small UK team deciding where to spend.
