Pricing & Licensing for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Microsoft offers Dynamics 365 Business Central and its other business apps on a subscription basis. To buy Dynamics 365 Business Central, you choose a subscription that fits your company's requirements.

Business Central licensing is priced per user, per month. Because the product is so flexible and customizable, Microsoft does not sell it directly to end users. You purchase it through a reputable Dynamics 365 Implementation Partner like Nevas Technologies, a trusted Microsoft Solutions Partner.

Our team knows that trust is the foundation of every client relationship, and we're ready to support you through a successful Dynamics 365 Business Central implementation.

How is Business Central Licensed?

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is licensed as a subscription-based cloud service. Your cost depends on the number and type of users, and on the subscription term you choose:

  • Monthly term: The most flexible option. You can add or remove licenses as your team changes, but the price per license is usually higher.
  • Annual term: The most common choice. A one-year commitment keeps costs predictable and lets you review your license count each year.
  • Multi-year term: A two- or three-year agreement locks in pricing and protects you from future increases, with less flexibility.

Whichever term you choose, licenses are assigned per user. Business Central does not offer concurrent licensing, so 12 employees using the system means 12 licenses. Microsoft offers Essentials, Premium, Team Member, and Device licenses, so you can match access to each role.

How Much Do Business Central Licenses Cost?

Business Central pricing is built around user roles, and each license type unlocks a specific level of access. Essentials and Premium are the two full-access licenses, meant for people who work in the ERP every day. For employees who need only limited functionality or access through a shared workstation, Microsoft also offers the lighter Team Member and Device licenses.

  • Full User – Essentials: USD $80.00 per user, per month. Covers all the core capabilities of a modern ERP, except manufacturing and service management.
  • Full User – Premium: USD $110.00 per user, per month. Includes everything in Essentials, plus manufacturing and service management.
  • Team Member: USD $8.00 per user, per month. A light license for users who mainly need to view data, approve workflows, and record basic information, such as logging time against a project.
  • Device License: USD $45.00 per device, per month. Covers a single device shared by many people, such as a cash register or a shop floor data collection kiosk.

Note: All full users must be on the same license, either Essentials or Premium. You cannot mix the two.

Implementation Cost

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Implementation

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a flexible, highly configurable ERP that can be shaped around the way your business actually runs. To get full value from it, you'll want an experienced implementation partner who can set the system up around your specific requirements.

A Business Central implementation generally covers three things: system setup and configuration, data migration, and user training. The scope of each, along with the Microsoft partner you choose, determines what you'll pay.

A quick-start implementation that relies on Business Central's out-of-the-box features, with no customizations, might cost around $40,000. A more involved project covering sales, purchasing, and inventory functionality, adapted to your processes, could run as high as $100,000.

For early budgeting, $75,000 is a reasonable industry average to work with. Treat these numbers as estimates only, and ask each partner you're considering for a detailed quote before you commit.

Ongoing Costs

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Ongoing Costs

Like other cloud solutions, Business Central uses a subscription model for pricing. The monthly cost of Business Central is contingent on the number of users, the licenses they hold, and the extra costs associated with additional modules. Microsoft releases two major updates each year for Business Central. These releases in April and October come at no additional cost to users.

All Essentials and Premium licenses come with customization and extensibility options, a multi-environment structure, and multi-entity permissions. In addition, Microsoft offers support plans for Business Central customers. However, many software partners provide their own support options, so you have plenty of options based on your needs and budget. Because the list price for Business Central does not account for these additional costs, getting a reliable estimate from a trusted Microsoft partner is vital.

Microsoft Integrations

Business Central works well on its own, and integrations extend what it can do. Many Business Central users already work with other Microsoft products, and those connect to it directly. Third-party integrations are also available and can extend the system further. Knowing your options helps you get more from the technology you already own.

Microsoft 365

Formerly Office 365, Microsoft 365 is the productivity suite many organizations already use every day. Business Central connects with these Microsoft 365 apps:

Microsoft 365 integration
  • Microsoft Outlook: work with customer and vendor records from your inbox.
  • Microsoft Word: customize document layouts such as invoices and quotes.
  • Microsoft Excel: export data, edit it, and publish it back.
  • Microsoft Teams: share Business Central records in chats and channels.
  • OneDrive: store and share Business Central files.

Power Platform

Microsoft Power Platform is a set of tools for analytics, automation, and low-code app building. Essentials and Premium licenses include limited use rights for Power Apps and Power Automate, so you can do more with the data you already have:

Microsoft Power Platform integration
  • Build low-code apps on Business Central data with Power Apps
  • Visualize real-time Business Central data in Power BI
  • Create custom automated workflows with Power Automate
  • Automate repetitive tasks and generate content with Copilot
  • Publish customer-facing websites and portals with Power Pages

Third-Party Integrations

Microsoft works with software and implementation partners to build integrations that add specialized functionality to Business Central:
