Q: Do you sell Microsoft Office 365?

A: No, but here’s how you save some money…

To get Office 365 and Hosted Exchange for less than Microsoft sells it, do this…

  1. Let us be your Hosted Exchange provider.  At $3.99 we’re the lowest price out there.
  2. For your Microsoft apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.) subscribe to the “Microsoft 365 Apps for business” plan (currently $8.25/user/mo.).  That plan gives you all the apps (full desktop version, not web-only) but no mail service.  Normally the full plan with mail service (non-promotional price) is $12.50.  See pricing table comparison below.

Pros:

  • Lower Overall Price.
  • Better Email features than 365.  Unlimited storage, large file attachments, encryption.
  • Superior customer support.
  • Add unlimited email archiving for only $1.  Microsoft makes you get the Business premium plan if you want archiving, which costs $22/user.
  • No more calling Microsoft support.  Since you would just have the “apps” package you’ll most likely never need support for Word or Excel.

Cons:

  • You will be paying two bills, one from Microsoft and one from us (however, the total is less than Microsoft’s plan with mail service).
  • If you enjoy waiting on hold for Microsoft support, sorry,  you probably won’t need to do that anymore.

What We Recommend:
Combine these two plans: $12.24/mo.

Notes:

  • Total price for both plans is $12.24/month.
  • If you wanted all the features of our plan, but with Microsoft, their cost would be over $22.00/user/mo.
