Brenwy vs Microsoft 365
Business technology should fit your business.
Brenwy Business focuses on professional email, connected calendars and organisational administration. Microsoft 365 provides a much broader, established productivity ecosystem. They are not equivalent suites today.

Why consider Brenwy Business?
British ownership
An independent British-owned option for businesses evaluating their digital suppliers.
Focused business email
Professional email and connected administration without claiming to replace an entire office suite.
Your domain. Your team.
Supported custom domains and shared mailboxes for eligible organisational configurations.
A growing ecosystem
Storage, documents and wider collaboration remain future products, visibly separate from current services.
The right fit matters
Where Microsoft 365 may be the better choice.
Microsoft 365 currently offers a substantially broader range of mature productivity and management capabilities. If your organisation relies on desktop Office applications, document collaboration, complex identity or compliance requirements, or deeply integrated Microsoft workflows, a suitable Microsoft plan may be the better fit. Brenwy is not a drop-in replacement for the full suite.
Future ecosystem
What we are building next.
Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Connect are planned. They are not currently available and future pricing or inclusion has not been announced.
