Business vs E3 vs E5

Is there a detailed comparison of the various skus anywhere, I'm really looking for the main differences between Business & E3.  Its fairly difficult to tell form the public product pages.

    I have seen a table that compares all the SKUs but it's apparently only meant for MS Partners, so can't be shared here.  You might want to reach out to one of these partners that can share these specifics with you.

     

    From what I know anyway, Microsoft 365 Business is notable for:

     

    Limited to 300 seats

    business apps

    Office 365 Business (Office 2016)

    Subset of EMS features like MDM type features

    Windows Autopilot

    Windows 10 Business

     

    Whereas Office 365 E3 has instead

     

    Unlimited seats

    Information protection - dlp, email encryption, rights management

    Office 365 ProPlus

    Compliance features like eDiscovery, mailbox hold, archiving

     

    Then there are the similar common core Office 365 features in both like Teams, SharePoint, email, OneDrive, Skype etc.

     

    Here is a nice set of resources as well this.
