Pricing Comparison

All plans, head to head

Prime Office and Business Office are always free. Anyone can sign in and use Qik Office for free — manual sprints, tasks, chats, notes, and unrecorded meetings never cost a thing. Agent credits are only consumed when an AI actually does the work — command runs, AI minutes, business intelligence queries, storage, and other AI generations. See the AI Office Pro row below for what paid credits unlock.

The Full Picture

Strengths and limitations, honestly assessed

Why Qik Office

18 feature advantages

  • Digital HQ with rooms that mirror your real company structure, for free — Microsoft Planner/Project is task and project boards only
  • Native AI Scrum Master tracks sprints, progress, and blockers automatically — 'Planner Agent' needs a separate $30/user/month Copilot license
  • Built-in personal AI assistant for every team member, not licensed separately and per seat
  • Turns spoken and typed chats directly into tasks, decisions, and minutes — Planner/Project has no native chat or conversation layer at all
  • Automatically identifies speakers in both online and in-person meetings; Planner/Project has no native meetings capability of any kind
  • AI executes tasks and handles follow-ups based on meeting decisions, instead of leaving task updates manual unless Copilot is added
  • Auto-generates your company's office hierarchy and workflows — every plan, board, and timeline has to be built manually per project
  • 100% free app — only pay for AI Credit usage as needed, vs Microsoft's $10-55/user/month tiers plus a separate $30/user/month Copilot add-on

MS Project Limitations

Key gaps to consider

  • Task and project boards only, with no digital office hierarchy or virtual rooms
  • 'Planner Agent' requires a separate $30/user/month Copilot license on top of the plan itself
  • No native chat or conversation layer to convert into tasks or decisions
  • No native meetings capability of any kind
  • Project history lives in version logs, not a continuously maintained execution record
  • Microsoft Project Online retires September 30, 2026, forcing customer migrations
  • $10-55/user/month tiers plus a separate $30/user/month Copilot add-on for AI

Our Verdict

Microsoft is consolidating Planner and Project while gating its new 'Planner Agent' behind a separate $30/user/month Copilot license. Qik Office's native AI Scrum Master and AI Command Center run inside every room of your Digital HQ — 100% free, with AI Credits spent only on the agentic work itself.
