Question

Your organization wants to deploy a custom agent built in Copilot Studio that will be used sporadically by a small group of frontline staff—perhaps a few dozen interactions per month total. Leadership wants to avoid committing to a fixed per-user monthly cost for such light, unpredictable usage. Which billing approach should you recommend to the administrator?

Accepted Answer

Set up a pay-as-you-go billing policy linked to an Azure subscription so the organization is charged only for the messages consumed

Answer

Assign each frontline user a Microsoft 365 Copilot monthly license so their agent usage is fully included

Answer

Purchase SharePoint Advanced Management licenses to cover the agent's consumption

Answer

Enable a free tenant-wide Copilot trial and rely on it indefinitely for the frontline group
