Best Microsoft Copilot alternatives in 2026 (free and paid)
People look past Microsoft Copilot for a few concrete reasons. The free tier's usage limits are not quantified, and higher usage means a paid Microsoft 365 plan, from Personal at $9.99/mo up to Pro at $99.99/mo. File uploads, unlimited voice and memory require signing in, the Mac app needs macOS Sonoma 14 or later, and feature availability varies by country or region.
ChatGPT starts free and its Plus plan is $20/mo, so it suits someone who wants an assistant that is not tied to Office. Google Gemini is the cheapest paid step in this list: Google AI Plus is $4.99/mo and there is a free plan, a natural fit if you live in Google apps rather than Microsoft's. Claude has a free plan and Pro at $20/mo, aimed at writing, analysis and coding work. Notion AI is the odd one out, built into a workspace for writing, search and meeting notes, with Plus at $12/mo per member and a free option.
