Can we use INARY while keeping Microsoft 365?
Yes. Keep Word, Excel, and Outlook as they are, and move only the discussions that use AI into INARY.
Teams charges for AI by the seat. INARY charges by what you use.
Microsoft Teams is the meeting and messaging tool that comes with Microsoft 365. Adding AI means a Copilot seat fee. In INARY the AI is inside the conversation, billed by usage.
Pricing (official sites, as of September 28, 2026)
Microsoft's Japanese pricing lists Teams Essentials at ¥599 per user per month (annual) and Microsoft 365 Business Basic at ¥1,049 (annual). Copilot is ¥2,698 per user per month as an add-on to Business Basic, and Business Standard with Copilot is ¥3,523 (annual).
INARY is free to start with unlimited members (90 days of history). Paid plans are US$4.79 per user per month (annual) for 1 to 30 people, US$4.31 for 31 to 100, and US$3.35 for 101 to 299. AI is billed by usage rather than by seat, and an administrator can set a cap. The cost of giving AI to a 50-person team is worked out on the usage-based AI page.
Where the AI lives, and which models
Copilot in Teams is an AI that works inside Microsoft 365. INARY's AI is inside your team's conversation. It researches with the thread's context, and the answer appears in the same thread for everyone to read. The models are ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok, switched to fit the work.
When Teams is the better fit
If your whole company already runs on Microsoft 365 and you want messaging and meetings under the same contract as Word, Excel, and Outlook, Teams is the natural choice. The same goes when IT management is standardized on Microsoft.
When INARY is the better fit
Teams that want AI for everyone but find ¥2,698 per person per month too heavy are a better fit for INARY. So are teams that want a place to research and decide with AI rather than a meeting tool. It is free with unlimited members, so one team can try it while keeping Microsoft 365.
Does INARY have video meetings like Teams?
INARY creates Zoom meeting links through the Zoom connector and adds them to calendar events. The video meeting itself runs in Zoom.
Where can I check the prices?
