Microsoft 365 A3 vs A1 (Free) Education Plan
Not sure whether to choose Microsoft 365 A1 (free) or A3 (paid)? Here’s a quick comparison to help you decide:
Feature | Microsoft 365 A1 | Microsoft 365 A3 (This Plan) |
---|---|---|
Payment | Free | Paid subscription |
Desktop Apps | Web only | ✔ Full apps (PC & Mac) |
Cloud Storage | 1 TB | 1 TB per user |
Security | Basic | ✔ Advanced compliance & protection |
Best For | Basic classroom use | ✔ Schools needing full apps & IT tools |
As you can see, A3 offers a full suite of apps, advanced security, and management tools — making it the best choice for schools that need more than just the basics.
Microsoft 365 A3 Education vs Microsoft 365 Business
Microsoft 365 A3 Education is built specifically for schools and universities. It includes full desktop Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, Access), plus Teams for Education, Windows 10 Education A3, Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS E3), Intune for Education, Azure AD Premium P1, Azure Information Protection P1, and Minecraft: Education Edition. It balances productivity with classroom collaboration and IT management, tailored to the academic environment.
Microsoft 365 Business plans (like Business Standard or Enterprise E3) provide similar Office apps and security tools, but they are designed for companies. They focus on business collaboration and enterprise security rather than education-specific tools. Business plans don’t include Minecraft: Education Edition, Teams for Education features, or the student usage benefit that A3 offers.
In short:
- Choose A3 Education if you’re an academic institution that needs full Office apps, learning tools, and IT/security management in one subscription.
- Choose Microsoft 365 Business if you’re a company that needs enterprise-grade productivity and compliance but doesn’t require classroom-specific solutions.
