Microsoft License Prices at Cost + 1%, All Published

Plan 1 · Licenses

at cost + 1%

You pay what we pay, plus 1%.

We sell Microsoft licenses as a CSP partner. You pay our purchase price from the distributor, plus 1%.

The 1% isn't margin. It covers billing errors and currency swings, so we don't lose money handling your licenses. Our income comes from advisory work, not from your license volume.

Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Azure and more
No minimum volume
Self-service portal: adjust, add or cancel licenses yourself
Advisory not included, and not needed to start

For many companies this alone is cheaper than their current setup.

Plan 2 · Agreement monitoring

€300 / month

ilion's AI watches your agreements continuously.

Our system reviews your license mix, your prices and your renewal dates. When something should change, you hear about it.

Every invoice checked by our AI before it reaches you
An AI assistant built into your self-service portal
Alerts before renewals and price changes
Specific, practical recommendations

The monitoring changes nothing on its own. It points out anomalies, price changes and decisions worth your attention before they get expensive or locked in.

No human consultant is included in this plan, which is why it costs €300 rather than €700.

A 12-month term, renewing for 12 months at a time. Cancel with three months' notice before a term ends. If your last license runs past the term, the agreement stays in force until the end of the month it expires.

Plan 3 · Advisory

€700 / month

Advice from your own licensing specialist.

Monthly meeting with your specialist
Direct advice on renewals, audits and scenarios
Scenario proposals with yearly totals, ready for your board
You talk to the specialist directly.

All prices are for business customers and exclude VAT.

Questions and answers

Can we start with just the licenses?: Yes. Most customers do. There's no obligation to buy anything else.
What does cost + 1% actually mean?: We buy your licenses through our distributor. You pay our purchase price plus 1%. Nothing else is added.
Why sell licenses at all, if you don't make money on them?: It's about volume. The more Microsoft licensing runs through ilion, the better the prices the distributor gives us, and every client pays those same prices. Our income comes from advisory work.
Why are your prices public when almost nobody else's are?: Because hidden prices are part of the problem we solve. Microsoft licensing is already opaque, and we don't want to add to that.
You sell licenses AND give advice. Isn't that a conflict?: It's the other way around. A reseller's advice tends to follow their margin, because whatever pays them best is easy to present as best for you. We took the margin out. You pay our purchase price plus 1%, and the 1% isn't profit; it covers billing errors and currency swings. Our income comes from advisory work, not from your license volume, so we have no reason to steer you towards the expensive option.
Is Microsoft 365 E7 worth it?: Sometimes. E7 bundles E5, Copilot, Agent 365 and Entra Suite at $99 per user per month. Whether it pays off depends entirely on what you already run. We've done the maths here.
What if Microsoft audits us?: Audit defence is a separate engagement. Nobody can honestly price a full audit on day one. We have seen one expected to take three months run for two years. So we agree the scope, the weekly effort and the hourly rate before we start, and nothing changes without your sign-off. Plan 3 keeps you audit-ready year-round; the defence itself is specialist work on top. You pay for genuine gaps, not the auditor's opening number.
