Dynamics 365 Section Rewrite

Microsoft Dynamics 365 pricing by app

By far, the easiest way to understand the price of Microsoft Dynamics 365 is to think of each application as a separate entity. Microsoft charges for Dynamics 365 based on the product, rather than a single package, so the overall cost will depend on which applications you use and how many people need to use them. Generally speaking, however, the pricing breaks down as follows:

Dynamics 365 Sales pricing

Microsoft offers three pricing tiers, along with a relationship sales pricing option if your team wants to integrate LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

Dynamics 365 Sales plan Published price Best suited for Main focus
Sales Professional $65/user/month Smaller or more standardized sales teams Core CRM and pipeline management
Sales Enterprise $105/user/month Growing teams with more complex sales activity Advanced sales automation and customization
Sales Premium $150/user/month Organizations that want deeper AI-supported sales workflows Advanced automation, insights, and Copilot-enabled capabilities
Relationship Sales Custom/variable Teams using LinkedIn Sales Navigator heavily Sales Enterprise plus LinkedIn integration

Dynamics 365 Sales is primarily used as a more formal CRM solution within the Microsoft ecosystem. When an organization wants deeper automation, advanced forecasting, CRM customization, or AI for sales support, many will upgrade from Professional to Enterprise/Premium. Organizations will often pair Sales with Customer Support as part of this process, where pricing can increase rapidly due to additional add-ons and team members.

What usually gets bundled together: Sales and customer service are typically bundled together if an organization wishes to have a pipeline management system along with a defined post-sale support system.

What increases the cost

  • More than one Dynamics app per user
  • Premium tiers for AI, forecasting, and automation
  • LinkedIn Sales Navigator or related add-ons
  • Integrations, reporting, and custom workflows
  • Partner-led implementation and support

Who this is usually for: Sales is for companies looking for a Microsoft-native CRM with a bit more heft and structure than lightweight CRM options.

Dynamics 365 Customer Service pricing

Dynamics 365 Customer Service supports support teams with case management, service workflows, ticket routing, self-service tools, and automation.

Dynamics 365 Customer Service plan Published price Best suited for Main focus
Customer Service Professional $50/user/month Simpler support environments Basic case management and service workflows
Customer Service Enterprise $105/user/month More mature service teams Advanced service management and automation
Customer Service Premium $195/user/month Complex service operations and contact center needs Integrated service solution with generative AI

Dynamics 365 customer service is typically used in companies with a greater need for formalized processes for managing cases and creating service workflows beyond what a standard Help Desk provides. Buyers typically move up to Enterprise or Premium as their automation needs increase. Omnichannel Support, or the use of Artificial Intelligence within service operations. Customer Service is often sold alongside sales and is often the platform from which the Contact Center is built. It’s important to note that, just like Sales, Customer Service becomes much more expensive and complex with additional users and features.

What usually gets bundled together: Customer Service often pairs with Sales, while the Contact Center typically builds on broader service operations rather than standing alone.

What increases the cost

  • Multiple service apps for the same users
  • Higher tiers for omnichannel and AI capabilities
  • Routing, reporting, and workflow customization
  • Integrations with CRM, telephony, or Microsoft tools
  • Partner-led implementation and support

Who this is usually for: Customer Service works great for businesses with a customer service vertical that needs more than just support ticketing tools.

Dynamics 365 Finance and ERP pricing

ERP-level Dynamics products are more expensive due to their ability to manage the company’s financial operations, workforces, and overall operations.

ERP app Published price Who it tends to fit Operational focus
Dynamics 365 Finance $210/user/month Mid-size to enterprise organizations Financial planning, project management, and core finance
Supply Chain Management $210/user/month Operationally complex businesses Inventory, planning, and supply chain execution
Supply Chain Management Premium $300/user/month Organizations needing more advanced planning and analytics Expanded supply chain intelligence and performance tools
Human Resources $135/user/month Companies modernizing HR operations HR programs and employee experience management
Human Resources Self Service $4/user/month Broader employee access with limited functionality Employee self-service tasks

Dynamics 365 Finance and the broader ERP apps are usually adopted by companies that need tighter control over finance, inventory, procurement, and cross-functional operations. Buyers move into these products when CRM alone is no longer enough, and the business needs more system-wide visibility. Finance is often paired with Supply Chain Management, and that is one of the clearest points at which costs begin to grow quickly. The price starts to snowball when multiple ERP apps and more users pump up the cost.

What usually gets bundled together: Finance is often paired with Supply Chain Management, while Human Resources may be added when Dynamics is expanding into broader internal operations.

What increases the cost

  • More than one ERP app per user
  • Premium planning, analytics, or process depth

Buyers often move from Essentials to Premium when manufacturing or service management becomes a bigger part of day-to-day operations.

The cost begins to rise when companies add custom workflows, reporting, integrations, and surrounding Microsoft products on top of the base subscription.

Traditionally, people buy into this layer when standard service workflows are no longer enough, and the organization wants a broader omnichannel service environment. A Contact Center typically builds on broader Customer Service operations rather than serving as a simple SMB add-on. Costs start to rise quickly when telephony, digital channels, automation, analytics, and service architecture all come into play together.

Project Operations $135/user/month Project-based organizations managing resources and delivery Project planning, collaboration, and operational visibility

Most project-based organizations choose Microsoft Dynamics 365 Project Operations for its ability to provide a better overview of planning, resourcing, collaboration, and delivery. The decision to purchase typically occurs once these same organizations have outgrown their use of project management spreadsheets or less robust tools for managing the operational aspects of service delivery. Usually, a decision is made when organizations decide to pair this tool with the Finance product or another Dynamics product. Obviously, this costs more money.

Customer Insights Attach $1,000/tenant/month Businesses investing in customer data unification and connected journeys Customer data, segmentation, and journey orchestration
