This isn’t the latest version of Microsoft Office, but it still delivers all the basic features you can possibly need to get through your busy, demanding days. Just note that it does not work like Microsoft 365, so you won’t get access to cloud-based storage or features like real-time collaboration. It’s more suited for solo, offline use.

For anyone who favors permanent, installed software over subscription price fluctuations, this version of Microsoft Office 2021 has you covered. It’s familiar Windows desktop software that doesn’t require a monthly fee, and it’s currently on sale at Stacksocial for $35, down from $220.

The rumors have now become facts. Recent speculation suggested that Microsoft would offer the latest version of Office (officially Microsoft 365) not only as a subscription, but also as a one-off purchase again. Well, Microsoft has made it official!

So if you want to ditch the subscription model and own your productivity tools outright, this is the move. Pay $40 once, download your apps, and enjoy full access to the Microsoft Office suite for good. Mac users can still score the same deal for $60, which is a huge step up from dropping $220. Sometimes, paying once really is the smarter move.
