It is important to note that neither Microsoft Personal nor Family provides Exchange services and therefore cannot power email on your own domain. It can only facilitate email on the shared domains owned by Microsoft like outlook.com and hotmail.com.

Due to the personal nature of Microsoft Personal and Family accounts, it is not recommended to outsource this administration.

Unlike the business setup, there can only be one admin of this type of account.

You can manage your account, check existing subscriptions, upgrade, downgrade or sign up to a new service via https://www.microsoft.com
The cost for one person (personal accounts) starts from R133.25 per month if paid annually otherwise is R159 per month if paid monthly (R1599 per year for 1 user only).

However, a Family account costs as little as R27.77 per user per month when used by up to 6 people on an annual basis (R1999 per year for 6 users or R199 per month)

Each user has their own separate 1TB OneDrive and management portal, however Family admin can make changes across the Family account.

Microsoft 365 Family is the cheapest way to access Office Desktop Apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint and the new Outlook app and can therefore save a business money as one user doesn't require 2 licenses to access the same apps or services. The traditional Outlook Classic app which is best suited to business is not included in a personal or family Microsoft 365 subscription.

There is also a Microsoft Basic option, not to be confused with Microsoft Business Basic. It is similar to Google One's entry-level cloud service providing only a 100GB OneDrive for R39 per month it is a cost-effective way to backup your Windows PC to the cloud when you have less than 100GB of data.
