Who Apps for business is for
Microsoft 365 Apps for business in Kenya costs KES 1,235 (USD 9.50) per user per month through Priori, on an annual commitment and excluding 16% VAT. It gives each user desktop Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook on up to five PCs or Macs, plus 1 TB of cloud storage, but no business email and no Teams.
Microsoft 365 Apps for business suits Kenyan organisations of up to 300 users that want genuine, always up-to-date desktop Office apps but are not ready to move their email. Think of a firm with email on Google Workspace, cPanel or a local hosting provider that still needs Excel for finance and Word for contracts.
Be clear on one point before you buy: Apps for business has no business email and no Microsoft Teams. If you want email on your own domain or Teams meetings, Business Basic or Business Standard is the better fit.
It also works well as a stepping stone. Some organisations license Apps for business while a contract with their current email provider runs out, then move everyone to Business Standard or Premium when they are ready to migrate. Others use it for a small group, such as a finance team that needs desktop Excel, while the rest of the organisation stays on another plan.
