For cost-conscious small business owners, college students, freelancers, and other professionals, popular Microsoft Office tools like Word and Excel are essential — and expensive. That’s why finding a budget-friendly, reliable productivity solution is crucial. For a limited time, Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows and Microsoft Office Home & Business 2021 for Mac are both on sale, and they offer a terrific alternative to the ongoing subscription model of Microsoft 365.
So, if you can make do with a slightly older version of this productivity suite (and for most people, that’s very doable), you can get a lifetime pass for up to 81% off. With your one-time purchase, once you have Microsoft Office set up on your laptop or desktop, the license never expires.
One of the most appealing aspects of Microsoft Office 2021 is the substantial cost savings. With Microsoft 365, you face recurring subscription fees that can add up over time. In contrast, purchasing a lifetime license for Microsoft Office 2021 means a one-time expense. This single payment gives you permanent access to essential productivity tools.
A lifetime license for Microsoft Office 2021 offers the benefit of a fixed, upfront cost and helps you avoid potential price increases (not to mention annoying subscription renewal fees).
Both the Windows and Mac versions include the most popular tools in the Microsoft Office suite. This includes Word to create and edit pro-level documents, Excel for managing and analyzing data, PowerPoint to design presentations to impress clients and colleagues, and Outlook to organize emails, schedules, and contacts in one place.
You’ll also get OneNote for streamlined note organizing and managing, as well as Teams. The Windows version even includes Publisher so you can produce professional-quality publications and marketing materials and Access for database management.
