GBP Price Release
Sterling Effort! – Dynamics 365 Business GBP Price Released
Jesse Lawrence
With the release of Dynamics 365 Business Edition to the United Kingdom this month, the new UK pricing in Pound Sterling has been released on the Dynamics 365 website. At this stage, the only business edition app to be released is the Financials app (soon to be rebranded as Finance and Operations), with sales and marketing apps due later this year. The low-cost licences are at a level to provide a cloud only, subscription only licenced product to Small and Medium businesses:
|
Full User £30.20 Per user/month
|
|
Team Member User £3.80 Per user/month
|
|
External Accountant License Free with full user

How the Licencing Works
If you have been following the story of Dynamics 365, you might be confused by where this pricing falls in with the previously published Light Users, Apps and Plans. What has been released is based on there being only one Business Edition app at this stage (Financials), so no plan pricing is available.
Team members are light users, and as new apps are released they will be able to perform light user duties across the apps. Full Users are essentially full users for the single app. We will be releasing a blog that clarifies the capabilities of different licence types soon.
What is Dynamics 365?
Dynamics 365 is a cloud based business management solution, with apps aimed at either SMB (Business Edition) or Enterprise level organisations (Enterprise edition). Each one is made up of a range of apps, and Financials and Operations is the first of the business edition apps to be released in the UK. To find out more about Business Edition please see our Dynamics 365 page.

After a recent visit to the Digital Manufacturing 2day event in Coventry and an insightful presentation by Lord Chris Holmes, I thought I would delve a bit deeper into the current AI regulation facing UK industry.
D365 Business Central vs Sage 200: Comparing Sage 50 Upgrade Options
Choosing the right ERP system when moving on from Sage 50 can shape how efficiently your business grows and adapts. If you want advanced features, greater flexibility and easier integration with familiar Microsoft tools, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is often the stronger option compared to Sage 200. As real-time data insight, automation and scalability are now necessities and not luxuries, your ERP upgrade decision is more important than ever.
