In contrast, Microsoft’s cheapest Office 365 offering, the small business product, costs users $6 per month, or $72 a year. This gives the price edge to Google Docs, but doubtless, Microsoft believes the superiority of Office 365 more than compensates for this difference

Both Google and Microsoft will continue certain plans free to schools and universities.  In Google’s case, they offer Google Apps for Education while Microsoft offers their free A2 plan.
Which of these services, if any, do you use?
