Microsoft 365 alternative
Comparing GoDaddy Microsoft 365 with another supplier starts with your exact plan, renewal rate and commitment. Our current annual upfront Business Standard rate is £9.94 and Business Premium is £15.55 per user per month ex VAT. Request a licence-only quote, with optional help for any tenant handover or migration.
Catalogue prices at 9 October 2026, ex VAT, annual upfront unless stated. We confirm your exact product, total and term by email.
One licence or a whole team. No payment or order when you send a request.
A useful GoDaddy comparison covers both the licence bill and the account handover. Identify the underlying Microsoft plan and any email security, archiving or backup add-ons. A product marketed under a provider's own name may not match Business Standard feature for feature.
We can quote the Microsoft licences you need without requiring a managed IT contract. Agree the exit work separately so the comparison includes its cost.
| Plan | Dead Simple 365, annual upfront | Microsoft list in our catalogue |
|---|---|---|
| Business Basic | £4.97 | £5.40 |
| Business Standard | £9.94 | £10.80 |
| Business Premium | £15.55 | £16.90 |
Per user per month, ex VAT, shown as a monthly equivalent. Annual upfront is a 12 month commitment paid in one payment. Compare the same plan, including its Teams variant, commitment, billing frequency and included support. Your written quote confirms the total, VAT and available offer.
Historical illustration, not a current GoDaddy offer: a June 2026 rate recorded on this site was £13.32 per user per month ex VAT. At that rate, 25 Standard seats would cost £3,996 per year. Our current annual total for 25 Standard seats is £2,982, a potential difference of £1,014. Use your current invoice before relying on that comparison; product features and included services must match.
GoDaddy publishes a supported process for moving an existing Microsoft 365 organisation away. A new tenant and full data migration are not automatically required. The process can involve sign-in changes and separate handling of add-ons. Read the GoDaddy exit guide and our planning guide before ordering replacements.
First confirm your tenant ID, administrator access, current subscriptions and renewal dates. A change of licence supplier can often use the existing tenant, keeping data in place. A new reseller relationship alone does not transfer or cancel existing subscriptions. We check whether a supported subscription transfer, replacement licensing at renewal, provider handover or separately scoped migration is appropriate. Keep existing services active until the agreed replacement and checks are complete.
Your business should retain appropriate administrator access to its Microsoft tenant. We agree any access needed for supply or support separately.
Business Premium adds Defender for Business, Intune and conditional access to the productivity features in Standard. These capabilities require suitable configuration; purchasing a licence does not itself secure your devices. You can request Premium at £15.55 per user per month ex VAT on annual upfront.
Licences can be supplied without a managed IT service. Keep your existing IT provider if that arrangement suits you, and tell us who will handle administration and support.
We offer annual commitment paid upfront or monthly commitment paid monthly, where available. Annual upfront is one payment for the full year. Monthly flexible has a one-month commitment, with its own price and renewal terms. Cancellation, seat reductions and upgrades depend on the exact subscription and eligible change window. Confirm the terms before ordering.
The price agreed for your committed term is separate from the next renewal price. Future rates can change with the supplier offer, currency, promotions and our commercial pricing. We confirm the applicable rate before a new commitment; today's comparison is not a guarantee of future savings.
Send your products, quantities and preferred billing in the quote builder. We confirm your price, tenant and subscription terms by email. After acceptance, our team arranges payment and supply. Requesting a quote places no order. Licences are available on their own, with technical services scoped separately.
An optional tenant review compares available and assigned licence quantities. Catalogue estimates cover recognised products; they are not your invoice costs. Counts do not show user activity or whether an assigned licence is needed. Confirm renewal dates and unknown product prices separately.

Per user per month, ex VAT. Historical competitor examples were recorded in June 2026, where stated. They are not current quotes. Compare your written renewal offer and any bundled services.
Your actual saving depends on your current quote. The £13.32 ex VAT rate on this page is a June 2026 illustration, not a verified current GoDaddy price. Compare the same plan, seats, term, VAT basis and support. Our annual upfront total for 25 Standard seats is £2,982 ex VAT.
The Microsoft product determines the licence features. We supply through the Microsoft partner channel via Giacom. Match the exact product and variant, including Teams, rather than assuming every provider-branded email package is the same as Business Standard.
Not necessarily. Supply into an existing tenant can keep data in place, but administrator access, subscription terms, sign-in arrangements and add-ons need checking. We confirm the handover or migration work before you commit. Continuity depends on a planned transition, so do not cancel working services first.
The price agreed for your committed term is separate from the next renewal price. Future rates can change with the supplier offer, currency, promotions and our commercial pricing. We confirm the applicable rate before a new commitment; today's comparison is not a guarantee of future savings.
That depends on the commitment and the subscription's eligible change window. Our annual commitments are paid upfront. Monthly flexible means a one-month commitment, paid monthly. We confirm cancellation, seat reductions, renewal dates and any eligible upgrade before an order.
No. You can request a licence-only quote using your product list and quantities. A tenant licence-count review is optional. It reads available and assigned quantities, not invoices or user activity. Migration, configuration and managed IT are separate services if needed.
