TL;DR: Replace your Microsoft 365 subscription with a lifetime license to Microsoft Office on sale for $20.
Renting the same set of office apps year after year quietly drains a budget that could go toward almost anything else. Microsoft Office 2019 comes with many of the same apps you’d get through Microsoft 365, but instead of paying $99.99 per year, you can get a lifetime license on sale for $19.97 (reg. $229).
This version of Office gives you lifetime access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, and Access. You pay once and install it on a single Windows PC, at home or at work. The license is tied to your actual device instead of a Microsoft account, and your download and product key arrive instantly after purchase.
This is the 2019 version of Office, so it looks different from Microsoft 365. It doesn’t come with Teams, but what you do get is a stable interface that isn’t constantly interrupting by fledgling AI integrations. It’s also on sale, but that won’t last much longer.
Right now, it’s only $19.97 to get Microsoft Office for life.
