Ditch your Microsoft 365 sub: Get Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more for life for $105

TL;DR: Both versions of Microsoft Office 2024 are on sale for Deal Days. Get Office Home for $114.97 or Home and Business for $104.97.

Microsoft 365 charges $99.99 a year for software you’ll never own. Pay for it for a decade and you’ve handed Microsoft a thousand bucks for Word and a few of its friends. If you want a way out, try Microsoft Office 2024. Two versions are on sale for Mac or PC during Deal Days. Office 2024 Home is only $114.97 (reg. $149.99), and Office 2024 Home & Business is $104.97 (reg. $249.99)

Office 2024 Home comes with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. Office 2024 Home & Business adds Outlook on top of those four for email and calendar management. Both versions install directly on one Mac or PC and run offline, so a dropped Wi-Fi connection won’t lock you out.

Both versions ship with upgrades over older versions of Office. Word’s Smart Compose drafts text as you type, kind of like Gmail’s autocomplete but stretched across whole sentences. Excel’s Dynamic Arrays let formulas like FILTER, SORT, and UNIQUE update their output as new data lands in the sheet, so recurring reports stop eating an afternoon. PowerPoint can record voice, video, and closed captions straight into a slide deck. Apple Silicon Macs run the apps natively, so an M1 or M2 doesn’t lose performance to a translation layer.

Real-time co-authoring lets multiple people edit the same document at once, with comments and chat baked in. Feature updates roll out at no extra cost over the life of either license. Redemption runs through your Microsoft account rather than a single device, so a dead laptop down the road won’t kill the license.
