Frequently asked questions

RenewalCheck is an independent, self-serve AI advisor for Microsoft licensing. Ask anything about a Microsoft 365 renewal and get a clear, cited, plain-English answer, an estimated cost, and the true-up and audit risks to watch for — before you sign.

No. RenewalCheck is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft. We reference Microsoft product names factually only. Microsoft and Microsoft 365 are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.

IT pros, SMB owners, consultants and MSPs, and procurement teams who want a fast, trustworthy second opinion on a Microsoft renewal — without waiting on a partner quote or wading through licensing PDFs.

No. Anonymous chat works with no login — you get up to 3 questions a day, after which you'll see an upgrade prompt. Create a free account to raise that limit, or upgrade to Pro for the highest cap.

Ask (the licensing advisor), the Renewal Calculator / Agreement Recommender (a short questionnaire that returns a ranked EA / MCA-E / CSP-NCE recommendation with pros, cons, and caveats), and the Product Explorer for comparing plans and the capabilities each bundle includes.

They're estimates, not quotes. Prices come only from published list sources, and unconfirmed numbers are shown as ranges with a “verify with a quote” note. The advisor is built to refuse to guess on prices rather than invent a number.

Answers are grounded by retrieval over a curated knowledge base of first-party Microsoft sources — pricing pages, the licensing reference, Product Terms, and the Microsoft 365 Roadmap among them. Answers carry citations and “last verified” dates so you can check the source yourself.

Microsoft licensing changes constantly, so accuracy is a moving target. We track an authority-tiered set of first-party Microsoft sources and date each fact, so what you read reflects the latest published guidance rather than a stale snapshot.

No. Independent estimates to help you prepare for your Microsoft renewal — cited sources, not quotes, and not legal, tax, or financial advice (using this tool creates no advisor relationship). Figures are directional and may differ from a Microsoft or partner quote. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft. For a binding price or contract terms, get a current quote from Microsoft or an authorized partner, and have a professional review anything you sign.

Pro is $19/mo (or $169/yr prepaid). It lifts your question limit and unlocks full cost estimates, saved history, and PDF export. Billing is handled securely through Stripe; see the Pricing page for current details.

Anonymous chat requires no login and no personal details — and we never ask for your company name, on any plan. If you create an account, your conversation history is saved to your profile so you can return to it. We don't sell your data or your renewal as a lead. See our Security & Data Handling page for the full picture.

Using an independent tool to prepare is normal and expected. Your Microsoft pricing and contract terms are usually treated as confidential information, but Microsoft's own agreement lets you share them with your “Representatives,” which it defines to include advisors and consultants, on a need-to-know basis under confidentiality. In practice you don't need to paste confidential quote details to use RenewalCheck — ranges and structured inputs work, we never ask for your company name, and nothing you enter is shared with Microsoft, resellers, or other users. It also won't affect your account-team relationship: it informs your own internal position, you negotiate in your own words, and you never have to disclose that you used a tool. This isn't legal advice — check your specific agreement if you're unsure.

You can manage or cancel a Pro subscription at any time from your account. Cancellation stops future billing; access continues through the end of the paid period.
