I just pulled this off the MS site
I have the first plan, but now seeing full Office and hosted Exchange for $12.50 I might upgrade.
Oh, you are looking at the funky SMB plans. Those are not something you should really look at. Only look at Enterprise plans "E". Hosted Exchange is only in the Enterprise group.

Word/Excel/Powerpoint, in the browser. When I open something online from ODfB or SharePoint, it opens online by default, no locally installed apps required.
Those are only available IF you've already bought Office 2013 on premises. Not available web only. At least that is how they state the license.

I have it in my SMB plan.

Out of the 75 customers we have done migrations to O365 for in the last 6 months we have had one that uses it only for email and doesn't have MS office in their environment at all. They use Libreoffice instead.
Was that because you could not convince them that the web apps were probably completely usable for them?
They really didn't need them at all. There is no reason for additional cost. The most they use an office app for is copy and pasting something to print from their software they use.

I have full access, though it's a pain - Minionqueen had to find the support page for me, to my hosted Exchange, just like the enterprise version.

I was referring to the other 74. I guess I didn't follow - those 74 did or did not get local installed Office as part of their purchase/subscription?

Where do you find the hosted exchange price?
All I see is this
-
Got me, did the pricing tiers just change? It's what we called the "E0" plan before. That was never an official name, though. It is like that $5 one but without Lync.

Scroll to the bottom of that page.
You will see this:
Click Exchange Online which will take you here: http://products.office.com/en-us/exchange/exchange-online
From there you can click compare plans and see the two offerings.
-
@Dashrender actually, no need to scroll tot he bottom. it is right on the left that you left out of your screenshot.
When you click the compare plans widget, the description on th lest has a hyperlinked Business Class Email phrase that takes you to it.

There we go, thanks!
