Microsoft 365 is no longer the best way to get apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Instead of paying a $99.99\/year subscription, you can buy the whole set outright with a\u00a0Microsoft Office Lifetime License, and it\u2019s on sale for $42.97 (reg. $219).<\/p>\n
Your license unlocks Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and OneNote, all installed natively on your Mac with no virtual machine or workaround needed.<\/p>\n
To download your apps, just check your inbox after making your purcahse. Delivery is instant, so you won\u2019t have to wait long.<\/p>\n
Microsoft Office works on the three most recent macOS versions, meaning Sonoma, Sequoia, and Tahoe all run it without a hitch, and updates are included the whole time. One thing to keep in mind: this is the standalone 2021 suite, not Microsoft 365, and it won\u2019t run inside Parallels or another virtual machine. This version also doesn\u2019t include the new AI integrations, but for those who want a clean, reliable set of apps to work on, that may be a welcome change.<\/p>\n
