Microsoft is launching Copilot Pro worldwide with a one-month free trial

Microsoft is expanding its $20 monthly Copilot Pro subscription to more markets today, after launching the AI-powered assistant to consumers in January. The expansion sees Copilot Pro available in 222 countries in total, and Microsoft is launching a one-month free trial to entice consumers to sign up for its future vision for AI.

Copilot Pro includes priority access to the latest OpenAI models, the ability to create your own Copilot GPT, and access to Copilot within Office apps if you're already subscribed to Microsoft 365 Personal or Home. Now, Microsoft is also opening Copilot Pro inside Office web apps, so you don't need a separate Microsoft 365 subscription to use the chatbot inside Word, Outlook, and other free web apps.

Copilot Pro integration will also be available in mobile apps soon. “We will be expanding this feature to our free mobile apps as well, including the Microsoft 365 app and Outlook for iOS and Android, in the coming months.” says Divya Kumargeneral manager of research and artificial intelligence marketing at Microsoft.

If you want to try Copilot Pro, you'll need to install the Copilot app on iOS or Android to get the free month offer. Microsoft has been trying to get consumers to use the Copilot mobile app since its launch at the end of 2023, including through a Super Bowl ad focused solely on the mobile version.

Microsoft is also expanding the availability of Copilot for Microsoft 365 to more businesses. “Customers with Microsoft 365 F3, F1, Office 365 E1, Business Basic, and more will be eligible to purchase Copilot for Microsoft 365 in the coming weeks,” Kumar says.

Microsoft is now preparing to showcase more improvements to Copilot in the coming months, including some Windows 11 changes that will likely be detailed at the company's Build Developer conference in May.
