How to get Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more without a subscription
TL;DR: Replace your Microsoft 365 subscription with a lifetime license for Microsoft Office 2024 on sale now for $158.
Software subscriptions only seem cheap at first. A few dollars a month might not feel like much, but the absolute lowest possible price for Microsoft 365 is $99.99 per year. If you want a cheaper option, you can replace Microsoft 365 with a lifetime license to Microsoft Office, and you’ll still keep many of the same apps.
The biggest difference is instead of paying hundreds or even thousands over the course of a subscription, you can get Microsoft Office for life for only $157.97 (reg. $249.99).
What’s included with Microsoft Office
This license gives you full access to the core Microsoft Office apps that most people use every day. These are the desktop versions, not the web-based ones, and they run directly on your Mac or PC:
Word
Excel
PowerPoint
Outlook
OneNote
Each app comes with the latest updates, including AI improvements. Word now comes with Smart Compose, which uses AI to suggest sentence completions and help you write more efficiently. Excel has dynamic arrays, improved filtering, and upgraded charting tools for faster and more flexible data work. PowerPoint supports full presentation recording with video, audio, and captions built in. OneNote remains a reliable space for organizing notes, to-do lists, and research, whether you’re at home or at work.
This version is a one-time purchase, so there are no recurring fees, and it includes access to updates.
If you’re ready to stop renting your software and just want a reliable set of tools you can own outright, here’s your chance. Right now, it’s only $157.97 to get Microsoft Office 2024 Home and Business for Mac or PC.
