Pricing behavior (not a price list)
These points describe when users typically pay more and what usage patterns trigger upgrades.
Actions that trigger upgrades
- Need enterprise governance: roles, approvals, territories, and auditability
- Need consistent forecasting and reporting across regions and business units
- Microsoft ecosystem integration becomes strategic (M365, Teams, Power Platform, Azure)
- Complex sales processes require standardized entities, workflows, and change control
What gets expensive first
- Platform success depends on operating model ownership more than features
- Customization without governance creates maintenance and reporting debt
- Implementation cost is driven by data model decisions and integration scope
- Reporting reliability depends on disciplined lifecycle definitions and permissions hygiene
Plans and variants (structural only)
Grouped by type to show structure, not to rank or recommend SKUs.
Plans
- Plans are generally licensed per user, with editions/modules that change entitlements (structural only).
- Expect add-ons for advanced insights, automation, and broader Microsoft platform integration.
- Verify current licensing on official pricing: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-365/pricing
Enterprise
- Enterprise governance, security, and reporting needs often drive module expansion.
Next step: constraints + what breaks first
Pricing tells you the cost cliffs; constraints tell you what forces a redesign.
