TL;DR: Get Microsoft Office for life for $40. Sale ends July 26.
Microsoft 365 charges a subscription fee every year. You could cancel, but you wouldn’t have a single thing to show for all the money you’ve spent. If you want a simpler alternative, Microsoft Office now comes in a lifetime license, and it’s only $39.97 right now (reg. $219).
This license includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and OneNote. You install the suite on one Mac and keep it for good, with updates included and no annual renewal fee.
The license connects to your Microsoft account rather than the Mac itself. This is a digital purchase, so your license key and download link arrive by email right after you check out.
Microsoft Office is a little different from Microsoft 365. The apps live directly on your computer and don’t require an internet connection. They also don’t have all the new AI integrations, which may be a welcome reprieve for some users who prioritize a clean, reliable set of tools over new AI functions that are still being refined.
Cancel Microsoft 365.
Until July 26 at 11:59 p.m. PT, you can get Microsoft Office for life for $39.97.
