TL;DR: Right now, you can get Microsoft Office for life for Mac or Windows for under $30.

Paying every month for Microsoft 365 isn’t sustainable if you only use the core apps like Word and Excel. If you want a more affordable alternative, Microsoft Office 2019 is available as a lifetime license for both Mac and Windows, and it’s on sale. You can get a lifetime license for Mac for $29.97 or Windows for $19.97.

What comes with your license

Microsoft Office is a little different from Microsoft 365. You ditch the subscription payments, but the tradeoff is the versions of the apps are slightly older. These are the 2019 licenses, which still work great for everything from work to school.

• Word
• Excel
• PowerPoint
• Outlook
• OneNote
• Teams Classic
