Microsoft Copilot Cowork, the MS licensed version of Anthropic Claude Cowork, became generally available this week, and many folks, including folks at major consulting firms, all pointed out that it’s pay as you go with Microsoft Copilot Credits. A credit is one penny…
… and a simple, light task costs 100 credits.
The fun with billing goes further – medium tasks are 500 credits, and heavy tasks are 1200 credits – and Microsoft doesn’t really explain those well beyond number of tool calls.
So we put together a much more clear calculator that takes their Excel spreadsheet and augments it with common tasks, roles, and more, and gives you the ability to export your cost estimates.
If you want to check your organization’s possible costs for Microsoft Copilot Cowork, we transformed their rather opaque Excel calculator into something easier and more intuitive, one that will reveal how blisteringly expensive it’s going to be for a lot of enterprises.
