description: SharePoint Online is licensed per-user as a standalone plan or bundled into Microsoft 365
  / Office 365 enterprise SKUs. Standalone "SharePoint (Plan 1)" is the entry-level commercial offering;
  larger organizations typically license SharePoint via Microsoft 365 Business Standard or Office 365
  E-tier plans where SharePoint is included as a workload. Per-user prices reflect annual commitment;
  monthly subscriptions carry a higher rate. Public sector and student/developer SKUs are not represented
  here.
