| Measure | Score | How it was decided |
|---|---|---|
| Clutter | Not yet scored — needs a timed hands-on test | Needs a timed hands-on review of the first screen. |
| Steps to first result | Not yet scored — needs a timed hands-on test | Our guide uses 5 steps, but that is our teaching pace, not a measured count. |
| Free tier | Free tier exists (limits not verified) | Yes, a free version exists: Microsoft's page describes paid plans as having "higher usage than free" and offers "Try for free". Microsoft 365 Personal (with Copilot) is $9.99/mo; Family $12.99/mo. Free-tier limits not verified. |
| Easy to forget subscription | High risk: free trial that auto-renews, inside a bundle | Official page: "Subscription automatically renews unless canceled in Microsoft account." A 1-month free trial is offered. Copilot is bundled with Office apps and 1 TB storage. |
