Microsoft has announced its Dynamics 365 Business Central pricing update, effective from October 1, 2025. As one of the most widely adopted cloud ERP solutions for small and mid-sized businesses, Business Central continues to evolve with powerful new capabilities and this pricing change reflects that value.
Why Microsoft is Increasing Business Central Pricing?
Microsoft is updating Business Central pricing to reflect the significant value added to the platform over the past five years. Since 2020, Business Central has evolved from a basic finance tool into a comprehensive cloud ERP solution, with advanced AI features, deeper analytics, expanded global localizations, and seamless Power Platform integration.
This pricing adjustment supports ongoing innovation, enabling Microsoft to continue delivering powerful updates that help businesses streamline operations, make smarter decisions, and scale efficiently. As part of this value-driven update, Microsoft is also increasing the storage entitlement included with each per-user license, giving customers even more capability as the platform evolves.
Business Central New Features
Here’s a look at some of the most impactful new features driving this evolution:
1. Copilot in Business Central – AI-driven task assistance
Copilot in Business Central uses generative AI to help users automate repetitive tasks like drafting emails, generating reports, and summarizing records. This enhances productivity across departments and reduces manual effort in daily operations.
2. Real-time financial analysis using machine learning
Business Central now offers AI-powered tools to analyze financial data instantly and identify trends. These insights help finance teams make informed, strategic decisions faster than ever before.
3. Advanced financial and manufacturing analytics

4. Enhanced integration with Microsoft Power Platform
Seamlessly connect Business Central with Power BI, Power Apps, and Power Automate to customize workflows and reporting. This integration enables businesses to automate tasks, visualize data, and innovate faster — all within Microsoft’s ecosystem.
5. Master data management capabilities
Maintain clean, consistent records for customers, vendors, items, and more with robust master data tools. This ensures better decision-making and operational efficiency across all business units.
6. Stronger localizations for global ERP deployments
Business Central now supports expanded country-specific compliance, tax regulations, and languages. This empowers businesses to scale globally while staying compliant with local laws.
