Both have Sydney and Melbourne data centres. Only one is IRAP PROTECTED — and only one lets you run Claude inside Word. Here's the honest comparison for Australian businesses. - Author: Adam - Tags: AI Assistants & Chatbots, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Australia, Productivity & Workflow, #comparison Head-to-head verdict [**22**/25Google Gemini](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/google-gemini-review-australia/)[**19**/25Copilot Mode in Edge](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/review-edge-copilot-mode-australia-2026/) **No single winner.** The right choice depends on the job; the verdict below says who should buy which. > **Editor's note (16 May 2026):** Every pricing, feature, and certification claim below is anchored to the verified 14 May 2026 Gemini and Microsoft Copilot dossiers (status: VERIFIED — SOURCE OF TRUTH), themselves anchored to the vendors' Australian pricing pages, blogs, and compliance documentation. AUD figures are native (both vendors price in AUD direct) — no FX adjustments needed. --- For Australian businesses choosing between Google Gemini and Microsoft 365 Copilot, the international tech reviews are nearly useless. They focus on which model writes better prose or generates prettier images — both interesting, neither decisive. The real question for an Australian operator is structural: which productivity suite do you already run, what's your compliance posture, and how much does native AUD billing actually matter on the invoice? Both tools score in the top three on our framework — **Gemini at 22/25, Copilot at 21/25** — and both have the strongest Australian fit of any AI assistant we test. Native AUD pricing across the full ladder. Sydney and Melbourne data centres. Verified vendor compliance documentation. Real local sales and support. Neither is the easy default for solo professionals not embedded in a suite, but for an Australian SME or enterprise on Workspace or M365, this is the right comparison. Here's the honest head-to-head. --- ## TL;DR - **If you're a Google Workspace shop** — Gemini wins. AI Plus at A$7.99/month inc GST is the cheapest premium AI in the category, AI Pro at A$32.99/month adds developer tools, and the Workspace integration is class-leading. - **If you're a Microsoft 365 shop** — Copilot wins. Native integration with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams; free Copilot Chat for eligible M365 users; and since 9 March 2026 you can choose Claude or OpenAI as the underlying model. - **If you're in regulated work — legal, finance, government, health, defence** — Copilot is the only AI in this category at **IRAP PROTECTED level** (the highest classification for AU public-cloud workloads). - **If you need the cheapest premium AI in Australia today** — Gemini AI Plus at A$7.99/month inc GST. Nothing else comes close. - **If you want Claude inside Office** — Copilot. Anthropic doesn't sell this combination directly; Microsoft does. - **If you do video or image generation regularly** — Gemini (Veo 3.1 and Nano Banana Pro). Copilot has some image generation but not at this level. For most Australian businesses: **the productivity suite you already use determines the answer.** Switching suites to get a better AI tool is almost never the right call. --- ## Quick-look table | Dimension | Google Gemini | Microsoft 365 Copilot | | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Our review score | **22/25** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | **21/25** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | | Cheapest paid (AUD inc.

This is rare in this category and worth flagging: no FX risk, no surprise GST conversion, your accountant gets a clean invoice. **Google Gemini** ([gemini.google/au/subscriptions](https://gemini.google/au/subscriptions/?hl=en-AU&ref=theaidirectory.com.au)) | Plan | Price (AUD inc. GST) | Storage | | ------------------ | -------------------- | ------- | | Free | A$0 | 15 GB | | **AI Plus** | **A$7.99/month** | 200 GB | | **AI Pro** | **A$32.99/month** | 5 TB | | **AI Ultra (5×)** | **A$149.99/month** | 30 TB | | **AI Ultra (20×)** | **A$329.99/month** | 30 TB | **Microsoft 365 Copilot** ([microsoft.com/en-au/microsoft-365-copilot/pricing](https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoft-365-copilot/pricing?ref=theaidirectory.com.au)) | Plan | Price (AUD ex-GST) | Notes | | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Copilot Chat** | **A$0 — FREE** for all Microsoft Entra users with an eligible M365 subscription | The big "free tier" the 9 May review missed | | Copilot Business (promo, annual) | **AU$26.91/user/month** through 31 December 2026 | Auto-renews, requires underlying M365 Business or Enterprise licence | | Copilot Business (standard, annual) | **AU$31.40/user/month** | What you'll pay after the promo window closes | | Copilot Business (monthly billing) | **AU$37.68/user/month** | No annual lock-in | | Copilot Enterprise | \~AU$46/user/month (est.) | Full enterprise features | **The pricing takeaway.** At the entry tier, Gemini is dramatically cheaper for individuals — A$7.99/month inc GST for AI Plus versus AU$26.91/user/month for Copilot Business (and Copilot Business requires an underlying M365 licence on top). For a 20-person business already on M365, though, the per-seat sum lands at roughly AU$540/month for Copilot Business on the promo — and you get IRAP PROTECTED data residency, Copilot inside every Office app, and Copilot Cowork for free along with it. **The right pricing comparison isn't Gemini vs Copilot per seat. It's what each adds on top of the productivity suite you're already paying for.** One Copilot detail worth flagging: the AU$26.91/user/month promo didn't end on 30 June 2026 as originally scheduled — Microsoft re-ran the discount for a new window, **1 July to 31 December 2026**, confirmed on its own [AU pricing page](https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoft-365-copilot/pricing?ref=theaidirectory.com.au). After it lapses, the standard price is AU$31.40/user/month on annual billing. For any Australian SMB that's been weighing this, locking in the promo before 31 December saves about AU$54/user/year. --- ## Feature differences — where each one is genuinely better **What Gemini does better:** - **Native integration with Gmail, Docs, Drive, and Vids.** If your business runs on Google Workspace, Gemini lives inside the tools you already use. Class-leading. - **Native AUD pricing across the full ladder with GST included.** Copilot's AUD prices are listed ex-GST; Gemini's are inclusive. Cleaner for billing reconciliation. - **Cheapest entry-tier paid AI in Australia.** A$7.99/month inc GST for AI Plus. No competitor matches that for a fully featured AI subscription. - **Image generation (Nano Banana Pro) on Plus and above.** Copilot's image gen is more limited and capacity-dependent. - **Video generation (Veo 3.1).** Full Veo 3.1 on AI Ultra; Veo 3.1 Lite on Plus and Pro. No equivalent in Copilot. - **Developer tooling on Pro.** [Gemini Code Assist](https://gemini.google/au/subscriptions/?hl=en-AU&ref=theaidirectory.com.au), Gemini CLI, and [Google Antigravity](https://antigravity.google/?ref=theaidirectory.com.au) (the agentic dev platform) come bundled at A$32.99/month. For technical founders that's a serious value play. - **Latest model lineup transparency.** [Gemini 3.1 Pro launched 19 February 2026](https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/gemini-models/gemini-3-1-pro/?ref=theaidirectory.com.au) with 2× the ARC-AGI-2 score of Gemini 3 Pro. Free tier on Gemini 3.6 Flash, Plus and above on enhanced Gemini 3.1 Pro. **What Copilot does better:** - **Native integration with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams.** Best-in-category for businesses on Microsoft 365\. Will summarise a Teams meeting, draft a reply in Outlook, build a deck from a Word doc — without leaving the app. - **Free Copilot Chat for eligible M365 customers.** Quietly one of the best-value free tiers in the category if you're already on M365\. The 9 May review missed this entirely. - **Model choice — Claude or OpenAI.** Microsoft announced this on [9 March 2026 as part of Wave 3](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2026/03/09/powering-frontier-transformation-with-copilot-and-agents/?ref=theaidirectory.com.au). Inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint, you can switch between Claude and OpenAI's latest models. No other major AI assistant in this category lets you do this. - **Copilot Cowork.** Multi-step long-running autonomous work. Also new in [Wave 3](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2026/03/09/powering-frontier-transformation-with-copilot-and-agents/?ref=theaidirectory.com.au). - **Copilot Studio for building agents.** Pre-built Researcher and Analyst agents come with Business+. - **IRAP at PROTECTED level.** The single biggest differentiator. [Microsoft 365 Copilot is included in the 2024 IRAP assessment by the ACSC at PROTECTED level](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/compliance/regulatory/offering-irap-australia?ref=theaidirectory.com.au) — the highest classification for public cloud in Australia. Gemini is IRAP certified at lower classifications. No other AI in the broader category clears the PROTECTED bar. - **Local AU sales line and the largest AU partner network.** 1800 624 449, M–F 8 AM–8 PM AEST. For a procurement-driven AU enterprise buyer, that matters. The summary: **Gemini is the better consumer AI; Copilot is the better business AI.** Gemini wins on price-per-feature and creative capability; Copilot wins on Office integration, compliance posture, and the rare "Claude inside Word" combination. --- ## Australian fit — where the comparison gets interesting This is the part of the comparison that matters most for Australian decision-makers, and where both tools genuinely separate from the rest of the category. **Both vendors have:** \- Native AUD pricing across all tiers (Gemini inclusive of GST; Copilot ex-GST) - Sydney and Melbourne data centres (Google Cloud regions for Gemini; Azure regions for Copilot) - Documented Australian Privacy Principles compliance - IRAP certification at some level - Australian Hosting Certification Framework alignment **Where Copilot pulls ahead:** 1. **IRAP at PROTECTED level.** This is the headline. Microsoft 365 Copilot was included in the [2024 IRAP assessment](https://news.microsoft.com/en-au/features/microsofts-commitment-to-trust-in-australia-introducing-2024-azure-dynamics-365-and-microsoft-365-irap-assessments/?ref=theaidirectory.com.au) by the Australian Cyber Security Centre at PROTECTED level — the highest classification applicable to AU public cloud. For government agencies, defence contractors, regulated financial services, and APRA-supervised entities, this often isn't optional. Gemini holds [IRAP certification at lower classifications](https://cloud.google.com/security/compliance/irap?ref=theaidirectory.com.au) for a subset of Google Cloud services. 2. **ASD Essential Eight blueprint published.** Microsoft Learn publishes an [ANZ Copilot blueprint](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/compliance/anz/blueprint-copilot-overview?ref=theaidirectory.com.au) aligned to ASD's Essential Eight. Detailed, public, customer-actionable. 3. **AU sales and partner network.** The 1800 sales line, the AEST support hours, and Microsoft's enterprise reseller network in Australia all reduce procurement friction. Google has these too but Microsoft's footprint is larger. **Where Gemini pulls ahead:** 1. **Native AUD pricing with GST inclusive on the consumer pricing page.** Copilot's AUD prices are ex-GST — readers do the maths at checkout. A small point, but it matters for clean budgeting. 2. **Personal Intelligence rolling out in Australia.** [Connects Gemini to Gmail and Google Photos](https://blog.google/intl/en-au/products/explore-get-answers/personal-intelligence-australia/?ref=theaidirectory.com.au) for Australian users. No equivalent Copilot announcement. 3. **APRA compliance documentation published.** Both vendors document this, but Google has a [dedicated APRA Australia compliance page](https://cloud.google.com/security/compliance/apra-australia?ref=theaidirectory.com.au). **What this means in practice:** For a regulated AU business, **Copilot's PROTECTED-level IRAP is decisive** — the only AI in this category at that bar. For an unregulated AU business that wants the cleanest AUD invoice and the cheapest entry-tier premium AI, **Gemini wins on consumer pricing transparency.** --- ## Who should pick what The right answer depends on the suite, not the AI. **If you're a Google Workspace shop (Gmail + Docs + Drive)** — go with Gemini AI Plus at A$7.99/month inc GST. The Workspace integration is the feature. Step up to AI Pro at A$32.99/month if you need Code Assist or Google Antigravity. AI Ultra is power-user only — Veo 3.1 video generation and YouTube Premium included make it a niche call. **If you're a Microsoft 365 shop and you have one to five users** — start with the free Copilot Chat tier (eligible M365 customers only). It's an undersold entry point. If you outgrow it, Business at AU$26.91/user/month on the promo (annual billing) is the right step up. The integration with Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Teams is the value. **If you're a Microsoft 365 business with five to 300 users** — Copilot Business is the standard pick. Lock in the AU$26.91 promo before 31 December 2026 if you can; you'll save about AU$54/user/year against the AU$31.40 standard rate. **If you're in regulated work — government, defence, banking, health, insurance, legal — and you need IRAP PROTECTED** — Copilot, full stop. No other AI in this category clears that bar. Talk to your reseller about Enterprise rather than Business. **If you're a developer or technical founder** — Gemini AI Pro at A$32.99/month bundles Code Assist, the Gemini CLI, and Google Antigravity. That's a serious developer kit for the price. Pair with Claude Pro if you do a lot of writing alongside code. **If you do regular video or image work** — Gemini. Veo 3.1 video generation and Nano Banana Pro image generation are the difference. **If you want Claude inside your Office apps** — Copilot, since 9 March 2026\. Microsoft is the only vendor selling this combination. Useful for businesses that prefer Claude's writing quality but can't leave Microsoft 365. **If you're a non-suite solo professional** — neither is the obvious pick. ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro does the job at a similar price. Read our separate comparison on those. --- ## Our verdict **Gemini takes the slightly higher score on our framework** — 22/25 against Copilot's 21/25 — because the AUD pricing is cleaner, the entry tier is dramatically cheaper, and Veo 3.1 video generation is genuinely category-leading. **But Copilot wins more decisions in practice** for Australian businesses, because most Australian businesses run on Microsoft 365, and the productivity integration plus the IRAP PROTECTED compliance posture are the features that move procurement. If you're already on M365, Copilot Business is the right call; if you're already on Workspace, Gemini AI Plus is the right call. Switching suites to get a better AI tool is almost never worth it. For non-suite individuals — solo professionals not embedded in either ecosystem — neither is the obvious default; the broader ChatGPT vs Claude comparison is the better starting point. One thing to watch: the 9 March 2026 model-choice announcement from Microsoft (Claude inside Office) is the strongest "switching cost just dropped" story in this category. For an Australian business previously deciding between staying on M365 with Copilot or moving toward Anthropic, Microsoft just collapsed the choice. Worth knowing before you make any platform commitment. **Related reading:** our full [Google Gemini review](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/google-gemini-review-australia/) and [Microsoft 365 Copilot review](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/microsoft-copilot-review-australia/), and where they land against the field in [the best AI assistants for Australians](https://www.theaidirectory.com.au/best-ai-assistants-australia-2026/). --- ## Frequently asked questions ### Which is cheaper for an Australian user? At the consumer entry tier, **Gemini AI Plus at A$7.99/month inc GST** is dramatically cheaper than any Copilot paid SKU. **Free Copilot Chat** is genuinely free for eligible M365 customers — if you already pay for M365, this is the cheapest paid-AI-equivalent on the market. For paid business plans, **Copilot Business at AU$26.91/user/month on promo** is the right comparison against Gemini AI Pro at A$32.99/month — Copilot is cheaper per seat but requires an underlying M365 licence. ### Which has Australian data residency? Both. Google has [Sydney and Melbourne data centres](https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/infrastructure/the-google-cloud-region-in-melbourne-is-now-open?ref=theaidirectory.com.au) and offers Assured Workloads for enforced AU residency. Microsoft has Sydney and Melbourne Azure regions covering Copilot. The bigger differentiator is classification level: **Copilot at IRAP PROTECTED is the highest classification of any AI in this category**. ### When does the Microsoft 365 Copilot promo end? 31 December 2026\. Microsoft re-ran the AU$26.91/user/month discount (annual billing) for a new window covering 1 July to 31 December 2026 — confirmed by Microsoft's own [pricing page](https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoft-365-copilot/pricing?ref=theaidirectory.com.au). After it lapses, the standard AU$31.40/user/month applies. Lock it in before 31 December if you're confident you'll need it. ### Can I really run Claude inside Word with Copilot? Yes, since Microsoft's [Wave 3 announcement on 9 March 2026](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2026/03/09/powering-frontier-transformation-with-copilot-and-agents/?ref=theaidirectory.com.au). You can choose Claude or OpenAI's latest models inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook on paid Copilot SKUs. No other major AI assistant in this category currently offers multi-vendor model choice this way. ### What about GST? Gemini bills in AUD with GST included in the listed price — what you see is what's on the invoice. Copilot's AUD prices are ex-GST — the [Microsoft AU pricing page](https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoft-365-copilot/pricing?ref=theaidirectory.com.au) is explicit: "Prices shown do not include GST. The Payment and Billing page will show amounts payable including GST (if applicable) before you purchase." ### Will conversations train the model? Neither vendor trains on your business data on paid business plans. Gemini consumer plans may use conversations to improve services unless activity tracking is disabled. Copilot Business and Enterprise are covered by Microsoft's Enterprise Data Protection. For regulated AU industries, both are configurable. ### How often will this comparison be updated? Quarterly at minimum, immediately on any material change. The "last reviewed" date at the top of the page is the source of truth. --- ## What we changed our minds about The 9 May Microsoft Copilot review scored Copilot at 19/25, partly because the reviewer hadn't found the free Copilot Chat tier, partly because IRAP PROTECTED hadn't been verified, and partly because the 9 March 2026 model-choice announcement hadn't been folded in. The verified dossier corrected all three; Copilot's score moved to 21/25 on the 15 May 2026 rewrite. The 9 May Gemini review priced AI Pro at A$19.99/month and listed a "Premium" tier at A$29.99/month — both wrong. Verified pricing is AI Plus A$7.99 inc GST, AI Pro A$32.99 inc GST, Ultra A$149.99 (5×) / A$329.99 (20×) inc GST. The 15 May Gemini rewrite corrected those (Gemini figures updated 11 June 2026 — live AU pricing page; see monitor-list.md). The takeaway: in this category, the international tech press makes pricing and AU-specific compliance mistakes routinely. Always check the AU vendor pages directly. The numbers above are anchored to those pages as of 14 May 2026. --- *The AI Directory Australia is independent. We don't accept payment for positive reviews.
