What’s in your Microsoft Office 2021 license?

How Office 2021 compares to 365 and Office 2024

Office 2021 is a software suite perpetual license, unlike Microsoft 365, an ongoing subscription for cloud-based access to storage and Microsoft programs. When you purchase Office 2021, you make a single payment that indefinitely buys ownership of these programs. Microsoft 365 operates on recurrent monthly fees, which can change at any time; in fact, Microsoft just upped the fees for the consumer version of 365 for the first time in 12 years.

Office 2021 retains access to programs you won’t see anymore in all Office 2024 purchases, including Access, Publisher, and Outlook. Office 2021 also has familiar layouts. Office 2024 has modernized the look of the programs and integrated AI tools throughout, so if you want to stay with something familiar, the 2021 version is best.
