When not to purchase Copilot Studio
Thank you very much. You know that I am working intensively with this theme. 🙃 My extensive research with Copilot shows the following result regarding “Microsoft Copilot Studio Version Market Place”: “This is a standalone option. It is aimed at users who specifically want to use Copilot Studio features without needing a full Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.”.
This answer might be correct from my point of view.
You also know that I am looking into message capacity and message consumption within a “Copilot Studio in M365 Copilot”, or rather researching together with Copilot. The results are not yet consistent, but they are already huge. 🙃
By the way, I'm expecting my second PAYG invoice for around CHF3 (Swiss Francs) soon. I had provisionally set up PAYG for a new environment, but then canceled it again (unfortunately, the new environment cannot simply be “canceled”). 🙃
Best regards
Andreas

Andreas, mande1191, I would love to hear the details about your invoice. Have you tracked consumption, too?
As far as I understand, the PAYG starts counting for M365 Copilot license users if Agents + Automated actions are used.
Have you added a non-license test user to your tenant? That would be an interesting thing to try with Copilot Studio. But be careful - there is a one-year commitment. If you go for the trial - at least in my case - I never received a notification the trial ended it. Instead, I received an invoice. I was lucky I got everything refunded, but it was not a pleasant experience.
