While many free alternatives exist, Microsoft Office 2021 stands out for its capabilities and features. The full version of Office 2021 is currently available for $99.99, a 33 percent discount from the usual $150 price. This standalone version does not require a Microsoft 365 subscription and includes Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. It can be installed on a single Windows 10 or 11 PC or Mac computer. Please note that this package does not include the full version of Outlook. Additionally, there is no need for a monthly subscription as this is a one-time purchase. The package can be downloaded immediately without waiting for a shipment.
For just $99.99, it’s a $50 discount from the price on Microsoft’s online store. Despite the “2021” label, this is the latest version of the applications. Microsoft has announced an Office 2024 update in the near future, with a one-time purchase option as an alternative to a 365 subscription. The price of this update is currently unknown.
