Why teams choose Autohive over Microsoft Copilot

No ecosystem lock-in

Copilot only works with Microsoft tools. If your team uses Slack, HubSpot, or any non-Microsoft platform, you're out of luck.

No hidden costs

$30/month per user is just the start. You also need expensive Microsoft 365 licenses ($12-22/user/month) before you can even use Copilot.

Anyone can use it

True no-code platform. Your marketing team, operations, finance and sales team can all build automations without IT support.

Get real automation freedom, not just Microsoft integration

While Microsoft Copilot excels within their own ecosystem, Autohive is purpose-built for universial automation and gives you the freedom to automate anywhere.

350-person marketing agency needs to automate client reporting

The Autohive Way
Day 1:
Operations manager creates agent connecting HubSpot, Slack, and Asana in 5 minutes.
Week 1:
Marketing team builds client reporting agents, account managers create proposal automation, finance sets up billing workflows.
Month 1:
20+ custom agents running across existing tools, saving 4 hours per employee weekly.
Month 3:
Paying only for usage while keeping existing tools and improving workflows.
Month 6:
Significant cost savings vs. Microsoft licensing, original tools still in use, every department creating their own automation.
Result:
Dramatic cost reduction, universal team adoption, zero platform disruption.
The Microsoft Copilot Way
Month 1:
CFO calculates $7,850/month ($21 × 350 employees) for Copilot + required Microsoft licenses.
Month 2:
IT discovers their HubSpot CRM, Slack communications, and Asana project management can't integrate with Copilot.
Month 3:
Forced to migrate from Slack to Teams and HubSpot to Dynamics 365 to make Copilot work.
Month 4:
Agency operations manager still can't create automations—needs to submit IT tickets for every workflow change.
Month 6:
$47,100 spent, half the team frustrated with new Microsoft tools, automation limited to basic Office tasks.
Result:
Expensive platform migration, limited automation, ongoing IT dependency.
