Microsoft Dynamics 365 Costs
Microsoft offers a range of Dynamics 365 pricing tiers to make it more cost-effective for users. The company understands that no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution works across all business sectors, so users can select user licenses based on their needs, which can be per-app or number of users. You can also mix and match user licenses when you have some staff that need a full per-user license and other staff with more specialised needs.
Per-app Usage: Dynamics 365 user licenses offer great flexibility. Based on your needs, you can choose any Enterprise resource planning (ERP) or customer relationship management (CRM) solution, which you can seamlessly blend with Dynamics 365 Sales to manage your workflow easily.
Suppose you have users who only need access to one or two specific Dynamics 365 applications (e.g., Sales or Field Service). In that case, per-app licenses can be significantly more affordable than buying a full-user license. This is also a more cost-effective approach when you have staff who only need to access certain Dynamics 365 apps occasionally, as it lets you pay for access only when needed.
You can easily add or remove per-app licenses as your usage patterns or team size changes over time. However, a per-user license will be far more cost-effective if you have staff needing access to multiple Dynamics 365 applications.

Dynamics 365 Pricing Tiers
The best tier to choose will depend on your specific business needs. For small business teams with basic needs, the Customer Engagement plan might be enough to meet your needs. However, if your team needs more advanced functionalities within specific applications, you should consider buying Dynamics 365 Enterprise per-user or per-app licenses with a base license.
If you run a marketing team, then the Dynamics 365 for Marketing license or the option within the Customer Engagement plan could be suitable. But if this is your first venture into Dynamics 365 and you are unsure of your needs, it is best to consult with a professional Microsoft Dynamics 365 partner, such as Mercurius IT, to accurately assess your needs so we can recommend the most cost-effective licensing plan for your business.
