Co-subscriptions are easy to understand, but it's a good idea to check how they work before you get started. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Sharesub offers cost-sharing for all subscriptions that include a group plan. However, be sure to review the terms and conditions for sharing services, and avoid subscriptions from other countries: this may limit the available content or even block access to the account.
Your peer-to-peer transactions are processed in accordance with European regulations (PSD2): the identities of the organizers are verified, and payments are held for one month to allow for any refunds.
Members are free to leave at any time, but will not receive a refund for the current month. This allows the organizer to retain a higher participation fee, and the available spots will be moved to the top of the list to fill the group quickly.
No, most of the time, services are shared via an invitation link or an email invitation. You then join the group using your own username and password to ensure the confidentiality of your data. In the few cases where this is necessary, a secure manager is made available to you. You may also sometimes use a dedicated profile, protected by a PIN.
Microsoft 365, formerly Office 365, has no direct rival on Sharesub, so the question is not which office suite to pick but which plan to take. Google Workspace and Google One on one side, LibreOffice on the other, cover part of the same ground, but none of them gives you the installed versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The comparison below covers the plans sold in the UK, shown per month, with a cost per person based on 6 accounts for the plans that can be shared.
Practical guides, comparisons and tips to cut the cost of an office suite and online storage for good.
In United Kingdom, Microsoft Office 365 Family costs £9.99 / month for 6 accounts, each with the installed Office apps and 1 TB of OneDrive storage. Split between 6 people, that comes down to £1.67 each. On Sharesub, a place costs £2.79 / month, fees included. Microsoft also bills the plan yearly, at £104.99 a year, which works out as two months free compared with paying monthly.
Shared offer on Sharesub, for up to 6 members. The best cost per place when the group is full.
One place in a Microsoft group, all fees included, no commitment.
Microsoft sells four consumer subscriptions and one licence you buy outright. Only one plan is genuinely shareable: Microsoft Office 365 Family, for up to 6 people, each with their own Microsoft account, their own installed apps and their own terabyte of storage.
Microsoft had not touched the price of its consumer subscription since Office 365 Home launched in 2013: £79.99 a year, or £7.99 a month. In January 2025, Copilot arriving in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook took the plan to £104.99 a year, or £9.99 / month, the first rise in twelve years. Subscribers who did not want the AI features were able to switch to a Classic plan at the old price, £79.99 a year, offered only when you start to cancel and never sold in shops. Split between 6 people, Microsoft Office 365 Family now comes to £1.67 each.
The full price jumped in one go in January 2025, but sharing brings the cost down to £1.67 per person when all 6 places are used.
Microsoft charges a single price across the euro area and sets a separate price for every other currency. Here are the prices recorded in nearby countries.
Microsoft almost never hands out promo codes on its own site. The discounts come from retailers, who regularly cut the price of the one-year activation card, sometimes to £70 or £75 instead of £104.99. That discount only applies once: when the subscription renews you pay full price again. Sharing Microsoft Office 365 Family brings a recurring saving instead: the price is lower every month, not only in the first year.
The most reliable option is to use the multi-account plan Microsoft Office 365 Family and split the cost between the members. On Sharesub, a place costs £2.79 / month, fees included, instead of £9.99 for the whole subscription. Each member keeps their own Microsoft account, their own files and their own OneDrive storage: nothing is pooled.
In United Kingdom, Microsoft Office 365 Family costs £9.99 / month for 6 accounts, or £104.99 a year if you pay annually. Split between 6 people, that is £1.67 per person. On Sharesub, free places in a group are promoted so that it fills up quickly.
A place costs £2.79 / month, fees included. You save around 72% compared with the price of the full subscription. Payment is monthly with no commitment: you can leave the group at any time, and the current month remains due. That is the difference with Microsoft, which bills the family plan yearly to give its best rate.
Yes, when a place is available. You choose an offer, pay for your place online, and the organiser then sends you the invitation from their Microsoft account. If all public offers are full, turn on the availability alert to be notified as soon as a place opens up.
The web versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint are free with a Microsoft account, but limited: no installed app, 5 GB of storage and several advanced features missing. For offline use without a subscription, Office Home 2024 costs £119.99 once and for all, on a single PC or Mac and with no online storage. Students and teachers often get Microsoft 365 Education free through their institution: check with your school address before paying.
Sharesub adds a service fee to the price paid by members. It is already included in the price shown for a place (£2.79 / month). Payments are processed by Stripe, a licensed payment provider. As a financial service, Sharesub can verify organisers' identity and hold funds for the relevant period, so that a refund is possible if the month is not used.
