Dynamics 365 Sales Licence Comparison Overview

Microsoft lets organisations choose an appropriate licence that fits the needs of their business, helping to reduce costs. We recognise this can be confusing, so we will try to break down what you can and can't use depending on the Dynamics Sales licence, with a supported table list at the bottom of the page.

Sales Professional

A Sales Professional licence provides essential sales force automation (SFA) for organizations without complex sales processes.

Sales Enterprise

A Sales Enterprise license takes your organisation beyond sales force automation to meet the needs of more complex sales processes. In addition to all the functionality available with a Sales Professional license, Sales Enterprise capabilities include customization, extensibility, embedded intelligence, and manual forecasting. When you licence Sales Enterprise, you automatically become entitled to 2,000 Customer Voice responses per tenant per month, In addition, Sales Enterprise also includes selected Sales Premium features including assistant cards, email engagement, auto-capture of Outlook activity and three new premium offerings Conversation Intelligence, Sales Accelerator and Lead & Opportunity scoring. The premium offerings leverage automation and AI to help sellers prioritise their worklist, provide real-time analysis during calls, automate action notifications, and programmatically generate meeting summaries. Users who license Sales Enterprise and activate Conversation Intelligence will be able to do so with 3 hours per user per month. Sales Accelerator provides access to the workspace and up to 1500 records connected to any defined sequence per environment per month. Finally, view up to 1500 Leads/Opportunity records scored per environment per month with Predictive Scoring. 

Sales Premium

Sales Premium takes the Sales Enterprise capabilities and accelerates engagement and decision-making with prebuilt and embedded business insights that are easy to act upon. Licensed per user Sales Premium includes Sales Enterprise feature permissions and our Sales Insights automation and AI offerings.

Microsoft Relationship Sales solution Plus

Microsoft Relationship Sales solution (MRSs) Plus helps sales professionals build the relationships they need to harness the power of relationship selling. MRSs Plus includes Sales Enterprise and LinkedIn Sales Navigator Dynamics 365 Advanced Plus. It is licensed per user.

What is Sales Insights?

Sales Insights is part of Sales Premium and can also be added onto a Sales Enterprise or MRSs Plus licence (Sales Professional users do not have access to these features).

A full Sales Insights licence enables the following additional features:

  • Predictive Scoring (lead and opportunity)
  • Pipeline Intelligence
  • Predictive Forecasting
  • Notes Analysis
  • Business Card Reader
  • Conversation Intelligence
  • Relationship Analytics
  • Connection Insights
  • Assistant Studio
  • Sales Accelerator

Customers need to access the Sales Hub Application to set up any of these features and have this enabled within their tenant. Sales Insights has full access for the features mentioned above except for Business Card Reader and Conversation Intelligence. The capacity limit for Business Card Reader is 200/user/month and Conversation Intelligence capacity is 10 hours/user/month. If additional Business Card Reader capacity is required, you may buy additional Sales Insights capacity licenses to increase the pooled amount. Additional Conversation Intelligence capacity can also be purchased through the Conversation Intelligence Add-On which is 1000 hours per add-on pooled at tenant level (see table below). Customers must have either a Sales Insights or Sales Premium license to be able to purchase the Conversation Intelligence 1000 hours/tenant/month add-on licence . When Sales Insights is licensed within Sales Premium, additional Sales Insights capacity can be bought by purchasing additional Sales Premium licences.

Which licence has access to what Dynamics Sales capability?

We understand Sales licencing, whilst built to be flexible, can be difficult to remember. The table below is a useful look up guide to establishing what you need. We recommend making a list of 'must-have' and 'nice-to-have' features and seeing which licence category it falls under.
