Teams base inside M365 E3 and E5. Teams Phone Standard at $8, Phone with Calling Plan at $15 to $24. Teams Premium at $10. Rooms Pro at $40 per device. EU unbundling reshaped European deals. Most enterprise customers over deploy Teams Phone by three to five times the right sized count. Eleven buyer moves.
Microsoft Teams is sold as a family of base entitlements and add ons. The base Teams app is included in Microsoft 365 E3 and E5 (and was historically bundled with Office until the European Commission unbundling). Microsoft Teams Essentials is the standalone Teams without M365 at $4 per user per month. The negotiable revenue lives in the add ons.
Teams add on price list (per user per month unless noted)
| Add on | List price | Capability |
|---|---|---|
| Teams Phone Standard | $8 | Phone System (PBX) capability |
| Teams Phone with Calling Plan | $15 to $24 | Microsoft as PSTN carrier |
| Teams Premium | $10 | Intelligent recap, advanced meeting protection, virtual appointments, premium webinars, analytics |
| Microsoft 365 Copilot | $30 | AI capabilities inside Teams plus the rest of the M365 stack |
| Teams Rooms Pro | $40 per device | Managed conference rooms (Basic is free) |
Frontline Worker variants drop the per user cost materially for deskless populations. The negotiated discount band on Teams add ons runs 10 to 25 percent off list at enterprise scale.
The biggest commercial trap is universal Teams Phone rollout: most enterprise customers buy Teams Phone Standard for every M365 user when only twenty to forty percent actually need PBX functionality. This paper sets out the actual per user pricing, the EU Teams unbundling impact, the Cisco Webex, Zoom, and Google Meet competitive frame, and the eleven move buyer side playbook. Read the related Microsoft services practice, the Microsoft knowledge hub, and the Microsoft EA renewal playbook.

Microsoft proposed Teams Phone for all forty thousand M365 users plus universal Teams Premium. Redress audited actual phone usage patterns, sized Teams Phone at twelve thousand users who actually needed PBX, capped Premium at the five thousand users with documented advanced meeting needs, and held Cisco Webex Calling as competitive. Twenty four percent off the proposal.
