    What you're actually buying

    The plan owner shares the subscription with up to five others from the Microsoft account dashboard. Every member signs in with their own Microsoft account; files and mailboxes stay private.

    The estimated monthly equivalent in South Africa is R185 in ZAR. Divided across 6 accounts — with an illustrative host margin — a share is roughly R46 per month. Actual prices depend on the host's listing and the provider's current terms.

    The rule that decides whether this works

    Microsoft sharing is by invitation to a personal Microsoft account. Check current terms for who you may share with in your country.

    Step by step in South Africa

    1. Confirm the Family plan

      Make sure the host has Microsoft 365 Family, not Personal, and has an open sharing slot.

    2. Agree on the split

      Agree whether you settle monthly or for the year. Famshare doesn't handle payments between members.

    3. Accept the official invite

      Accept the invitation from account.microsoft.com with your own Microsoft account. Never share your password.

    What goes wrong

    • Personal vs Family

      Microsoft 365 Personal can't be shared. Ask for the plan name before paying.
