TL;DR: Replace Microsoft 365 with a lifetime license to Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows for only $59.97 (reg. $219). 


If you use Microsoft 365, did you notice they increased their prices? It used to be $69.99 for a year. Now it's $99.99, and that's not a bill you're ever actually done paying. 

If you don't want to drop $100 every year for Word, Excel, and all the rest, then switch to a lifetime license to Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows for a one-time payment of $59.97. It might be more expensive in the moment, but it's a whole lot cheaper in the long run. 

What's the difference?

Microsoft 365 has the most recent updates along with a few other extras like cloud storage. It's great if you need all that stuff, but if you don't, then why pay for it?

The lifetime license comes with:

  • Word

  • Excel

  • PowerPoint

  • Outlook

  • Teams (free version)

  • OneNote 

  • Publisher

  • Access 

You get each of these apps for life with no recurring fees of any kind. It's a great replacement for the constant cost of Microsoft 365. Install each app on one Windows computer one time. 

How to redeem 

Once you make your purchase, you'll instantly get directions to redeem it in your inbox. Just make sure to use your code within seven days of purchasing. After that, you're set. Suddenly, you aren't wasting money just because you happened to go a month without using Microsoft apps. And now that there's no rush, maybe you can finally figure out what a pivot table is in Excel. 

You have until Feb. 23 at 11:59 p.m. PT to get a lifetime license for Microsoft Office Pro 2021 for $59.97.
