What is on record
The Xbox Game Pass catalogue entry carries no price and a subscription pricing model, but no tier breakdown. The category comparison below is still useful, and the Xbox Game Pass review carries the full feature record.

Before you pay for Xbox Game Pass
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: not published on the record we hold. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Xbox Game Pass against the tools that do have one before committing.
Xbox Game Pass runs on not recorded. The full record is on the Xbox Game Pass review, and the rest of the category is under best gaming tools.
