Microsoft 365 costs $99.99 per year at the minimum. If you don't want to pay a recurring cost for basic productivity apps, switch to Microsoft Office. Right now, a lifetime license for Microsoft Office 2024 for PC is only $54.99 (reg. $249.99).

What's included with Microsoft Office?
This version of Office comes with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and Access. There are no recurring fees or renewal costs. You install once and keep working.

Buying Office this way means the apps don't change on you. Microsoft 365 pushes updates whenever it wants, but a perpetual license stays the same for as long as you use it.

Every app runs right on your machine. You don't need a cloud connection to open a spreadsheet in Excel or manage a database in Access. Dark mode is there if you want it, and you can use this version on older hardware.

Your license stays tied to one computer. You can't move it to a second machine later, so install it on the PC you plan to keep. After you buy, your license key and download link show up right away, and you have seven days to redeem your code.

Security updates keep coming through the supported lifecycle, so you stay protected without paying again. For most people who just need the core apps to write, budget, and email, that's the whole point.

Stop paying every year and just own your Office apps.
