TopicMicrosoft Copilot StudioFundarem
Scale / reach

"90% of the Fortune 500 has used Copilot Studio" (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Built for Nordic and EU SMEs and mid-sized companies (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Connectors

"1500+ pre-built data connectors, and MCP servers" (checked 29 Oct 2026)

6 ready connectors, plus any MCP server. (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Custom connectors built from the system's API documentation. (checked 29 Oct 2026)

How connectors work

Connectors "act as proxies or 'wrappers' around APIs". For non-Microsoft systems such as Salesforce, "the responsibility belongs to the agent maker". (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Every system is translated once into one ontology (objects, links and actions). The same customer known under three ids in three systems becomes one object, and a person confirms the match. (checked 29 Oct 2026)

MCP

"Copilot Studio currently supports MCP tools and resources". "You must turn on generative orchestration to use MCP". (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Own MCP server connected as it is; tool list reviewed with you. (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Foreign MCP tools are admitted only when the server marks them read-only. (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Where data lives

Data "can be stored in various Azure datacenters across the globe". The EU Data Boundary applies if the tenant has an EU/EFTA billing address "and all of its environments" are in an EU Data Boundary region. (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Installed in the customer's own Azure tenant, in an EU/EEA region the customer chooses. The install template defaults to Norway East. (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Generative AI outside the US

"Accessing Copilot Studio generative AI features from regions outside the United States results in data movement across regional boundaries". Once enabled, past movement "cannot be reversed by removing your consent". (checked 29 Oct 2026)

"can be configured to access generative AI features in other areas, including when capacity is constrained" (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Each model route states where it is processed. An EU-only frame is available. (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Personal data before the model

Not described on the Microsoft pages cited here.

Data residency (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Data movement outside the US (checked 29 Oct 2026)

The anonymiser is on by default for every model. It masks marked columns and recognised names, national ID numbers, phone numbers and IBANs before a request goes to a model. The model keeps nothing between calls. (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Price model

Tenant licence: packs of "25,000 Copilot Credits each, priced at $200.00/pack/month", plus pay-as-you-go and pre-purchase. "An Azure subscription is required to use agents". (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Priced on request. There is no onboarding fee. (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Usage metering

Generative answer = 2 credits; agent action = 5; tenant graph grounding = 10; reasoning models add 10 credits per 1,000 tokens. (checked 29 Oct 2026)

A flat platform fee plus a fee per active user. (checked 29 Oct 2026)

"Microsoft bills it on your own Azure invoice… We take no cut". (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Running out of capacity

"Enforcement is triggered when a tenant reaches 125% of their prepaid capacity… Custom agents are disabled" (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Not applicable to the platform fee. (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Microsoft 365 Copilot bundle

Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on "$30.00 user/month, paid yearly", which includes the Copilot Studio Standard harness for internal agents. (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Employee-facing agent use by Microsoft 365 Copilot licensed users is "No charge". (checked 29 Oct 2026)

No Microsoft 365 Copilot licence needed. None is mentioned on the pricing page. (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Models

"11K+ models available through Azure AI Foundry" (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Models via Azure Foundry (EU), self-hosted, or the vendor's own API. The admin picks per kind of task. (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Where agent data is stored

"Store structured data used by agents in Dataverse", managed from "the Power Platform admin center". (checked 29 Oct 2026)

The ontology is in your own Azure tenant. (checked 29 Oct 2026)

Why teams switch from Copilot Studio to Fundarem

  1. It runs in your own Azure tenant, in the EU region you pick

    Copilot Studio's EU Data Boundary depends on the billing address and on where every environment sits. Generative AI from outside the US moves data across regions.

  2. One ontology across all your systems

    Fundarem translates every system once into objects, links and actions, and a person confirms the matches. Copilot Studio connectors are API wrappers, and for non-Microsoft systems the responsibility sits with the agent maker.

  4. Predictable price

    Priced on request, and you pay model use at cost on your Azure invoice. Copilot Studio meters credits per answer, action and token, and disables custom agents at 125% of prepaid capacity.

  5. Systems without a connector get a custom one

    Built from their API documentation and reviewed before it is switched on. Copilot Studio offers 1500+ pre-built connectors. Custom connectors cover the systems outside such catalogues, for example Nordic accounting tools. Tripletex and Xledger are in Fundarem's library.

Before you switch: what changes

  1. Microsoft 365 Copilot licences

    If your staff have Microsoft 365 Copilot ("$30.00 user/month, paid yearly"), their employee-facing agent use in Copilot Studio is "No charge". Compare that with what you pay today. Fundarem is priced on request, and the pricing page mentions no Microsoft 365 Copilot licence.

  2. Connector coverage

    Copilot Studio lists "1500+ pre-built data connectors, and MCP servers". List the systems your agents use, and check each one against Fundarem's library, the system's own MCP server, or a custom connector.

  3. Where agents are published

    The Copilot Studio standalone licence publishes to "external channels (like websites, apps, and social platforms)", and its pricing page lists IVR. Fundarem's site describes an employee-facing assistant and agents. Check whether you rely on external or voice channels before you switch.

  4. Agent data in Dataverse

    Copilot Studio stores "structured data used by agents in Dataverse". List what your agents keep there. In Fundarem, the ontology lives in your own Azure tenant.

  5. Metering ends

    Credits per answer, action and token, and the 125% capacity rule, are replaced by the flat platform and user fee. Model use is billed at cost on your own Azure invoice.

Questions

Can Fundarem replace Copilot Studio?

Yes. Fundarem replaces Microsoft Copilot Studio as the platform your agents run on. It is installed in your own Azure tenant, joins your systems into one ontology, and an agent's change is a proposal, written back only under the write settings your admin chose.

Where is our data stored after we switch?

Fundarem is installed in the customer's own Azure tenant, in an EU/EEA region the customer chooses. The install template defaults to Norway East. Microsoft says Copilot Studio data "can be stored in various Azure datacenters across the globe", and that the EU Data Boundary applies if the tenant has an EU/EFTA billing address and all of its environments are in an EU Data Boundary region.
