If you’ve got a mixed household (again, as I do), you install the Mac version of Office on a Mac and the Windows version of Office on a Windows machine… on up to five different machines. You’re always guaranteed the latest and greatest versions and features of these key applications.īut if you’re in a home like mine, with at least two different people running at least three or four different computers, it becomes really appealing. It’s not “that much better.” It’s the same product.Įven for a single computer, I think it’s pretty cool. Make no mistake: it’s not a different product. In comparison, Office Home and Student includes four basic Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote), can be installed on only one computer, does not include any additional OneDrive space, and costs (at this writing) a one-time payment of $149.99. There is a cheaper “Personal” subscription for $69.99 per year, but you can install it on only one machine. That second point alone makes it really hard to compare against the packaged product, which can be installed on only one machine. You can share it with up to six people “in your household”.Some people subscribe to Microsoft 365 just for the cloud storage. It includes at least 1 terabyte of OneDrive storage.(The five computers can be Macs, PCs, or any combination.) Even if you only have two machines, you’ve cut the effective price in half. You can install it on up to five computers! If you have five computers, it’s effectively $20 per year per computer.Desktop editions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook, as well as Publisher and Access (for PCs but not Macs), are all included. There are several really interesting things about Office 365 Home subscription.
The subscription option is to pay $99.99 1 per year for the Microsoft 365 Family subscription. Instead of a literal box, it’ll more likely be a download, but it’s still a one-time purchase licensed to run on one computer. Whether you want to buy the Professional or the Home and Student edition, you can spend a few hundred dollars and buy one copy. Microsoft Office is still available the way you’ve purchased it in the past.
Given everything included, the subscription is a very good value. The Microsoft 365 subscription includes all the apps, can be used on up to five computers, can be shared with up to six people in your household, and includes a full terabyte of OneDrive storage. Microsoft Office is still available as a one-time purchase for use on a single computer.
