Is Microsoft Copilot Actually Worth £24 a Month?
A full month testing Copilot in a real business — email, Word, meetings and Excel — to find where it earns its keep and where it doesn't. Including the Excel test that surprised me.
The short version
- Email summarising and drafting is the feature that justifies a seat on its own
- Excel handled a margin-versus-profit trap better than expected
- One seat is roughly £290 a year — it pays for itself if it saves about an hour a month
- Buy it for the owner and whoever runs your admin; skip it for everyone else until usage proves otherwise
