The Modern Work Plan Comparison documents are updated for August 2026.

This month’s changes are mostly just housekeeping updates. The Priva Subject Rights Requests feature has been removed across the documents, following its retirement as a standalone license earlier in the year. The additional 50 GB mailbox storage in Exchange Online is now presented more clearly in the SMB document, and Defender for Office 365 Plan 1 now shows as included in Office 365 E3 as a result of the July 2026 licensing changes.

If you’re a subscriber, don’t forget that we help you navigate the (increasingly frequent) errors in these documents every month with our Cautionary Notes. You’ll find these using the one-click “Microsoft 365” filter in our subscriber-exclusive Licensing Guides Gallery, along with quick access to the documents and full change details: https://bit.ly/GuidesGallery. If you’re not yet a subscriber, you’ll find the latest versions of the documents for Enterprise, SMB, Education, and US Government customers here: https://bit.ly/4hn2hS2.
