What Is the Difference Between Sharepoint on Premise and Online

If you go with the on-premises solution you’re looking at the purchase and upkeep of hardware, along with the cost of licenses, etc. Conversely, SharePoint Online is part of an Office 365 plan and is billed monthly per user.

Why SharePoint Online is better than on premise?

SharePoint Online is licensed based on the number of users, while on-premises requires additional dollars for licensing, maintenance, IT resources and more upkeep. From a broad cost perspective, SharePoint Online is usually cheaper, so many small businesses choose it over on-premises.

How do I know if SharePoint is on premise or online?

An easy check for SharePoint Online or on premises would be to look at the host name. In the case of SharePoint Online, it will always be in the form of tenant.sharepoint.com .
