Updated pricing and increased storage benefits
For the first time in over five years, Microsoft is updating the pricing for Dynamics 365 Business Central. This price increase reflects the value added by the hundreds of innovative features introduced across its finance, analytics, supply chain, manufacturing, and other capabilities. Business Central has continually evolved to help small and medium-sized businesses streamline their operations on a single, powerful platform.
To coincide with the price changes, Microsoft is also enhancing storage entitlements for each user license, providing even greater value to Business Central customers. These updated prices will apply to all new subscriptions and to existing subscriptions upon their first renewal on or after October 1, 2025. Customers will still have the opportunity to purchase Business Central at its current pricing before this date.
Here are the updated product prices and storage allocations:
