Here’s your chance to get Microsoft Office for life for $24.97
TL;DR: Replace your expensive Microsoft 365 subscription with a one-time payment for Microsoft Office 2019, which includes apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint and is only $24.97 for Windows or Mac. If you’re on the hunt for a way to get out of expensive software subscriptions, try replacing that pricey Microsoft 365 membership with a Microsoft Office lifetime license you only have to pay for once. The 2019 version for Windows or Mac both include apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and you can get them on sale for $24.97 (reg. $229). The Mac license comes with the 2019 versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and Teams Classic. The Windows version has the same apps, but it replaces Teams with Access and Publisher. Each of these apps install on one computer one time, but they last for life with no recurring costs. The primary differences between Microsoft 2019 and Microsoft 365 are the cost and the software versions. Microsoft 365 is a subscription you pay for monthly or yearly while this license only has a one-time price. The tradeoff is that Microsoft 365 has more recent versions of many of the same apps, but the 2019 versions still get the job done.
