Microsoft Office is paid software, so a discount is always welcome. Here are the best Microsoft Office deals you can find right now.
You’ve no doubt at least heard of Microsoft Office, even if you haven’t had the pleasure (if one would call it that) of using it yourself. Microsoft’s productivity software is as widely used in workplaces, homes, and schools as the Windows operating system is, with millions of people using Office apps every day. The Office suite encompasses far more than just Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, though, so if you need help finding the right package for your needs, our roundup of the best Microsoft Office deals and lowest prices can make things a lot easier — and hopefully save you some cash.
Microsoft Office 2021 is the latest iteration of its classic Office suite. The standard Personal version features Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint as its core apps while the Professional version features the same core apps as Microsoft 365, but note that it lacks cloud services like Skype and OneDrive (however, you can get basic versions of these programs for free). Another thing to bear in mind is that your Office 2021 license only allows you to install it on one Windows or MacOS computer at a time — no other devices are supported, and neither are multiple installations across several devices. For that, you will need to upgrade to Microsoft Microsoft 365. The flip-side of that coin is that Microsoft Office 2021 is a “buy once, cry once” affair (once you own it, it’s yours), whereas Microsoft 365 has a monthly subscription fee.
Microsoft 365, formerly called Office 365, is the cream of the Microsoft Office crop. This subscription-based suite features everything that Microsoft Office has to offer, including the whole lineup of Office apps along with Microsoft Outlook, Publisher, and Access.
