Which Microsoft 365 plan for SMB is best for your business?

Microsoft 365 Apps for Business
The Microsoft 365 Apps Plan is perfect for small businesses that only want to use the core of Microsoft applications (Office 365) and cloud storage (OneDrive) for basic business work.
It does not include Exchange Online email or any other online services, so this plan would be a good fit for SB that are not interested in switching their email to Microsoft’s servers.
Microsoft 365 Business Basic
Perfect plan for startups and individual entrepreneurs that need easy remote solutions. You will have access to the entire Office suite of applications, Microsoft Teams, and secure cloud storage.

Microsoft 365 Business Standard
The Microsoft 365 Standard plan combines collaboration tools as well as the full suite of Office 365 programs. With the Basic plan you get the desktop version for each program, so you can install them on different devices. This allows you to work from anywhere without intrrupting your workflow.
