Not a subscription, but a one-time payment offering lifetime access to the whole suite.

This won't be the final perpetually licensed version of Office; Microsoft has said we'll get at least one more standalone release. This is the same language the company used when releasing Office 2021, so we could get additional standalone releases beyond a hypothetical Office 2027 as well.

Microsoft has released Office 2024 for small businesses and consumers who want a standalone version without a Microsoft 365 subscription.

Microsoft Office Home & Business for Mac 2021 gives you Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more with a lifetime license, all for $69.97.

For Windows users, Microsoft Office Pro 2021 is available for just $39 instead of $219 which is an incredible 81% discount. Mac users can also take advantage of the Home & Business 2021 version for only $69 instead of $249,
