It’s also included in ProPlus and Enterprise tier subscriptions. However, while these standalone plans are available, anyone with a subscription to Office 365’s Business Essentials or Business Premium plans has access to Skype for Business as part of their package, free of charge. There are also a few additional features available to businesses running the server-based version of Skype for Business, such as interoperability with other video teleconferencing systems and persistent chat.
