TL;DR: Get Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more on your Mac with a lifetime Microsoft Office license, now $89.97 (reg. $219).
Microsoft 365 will renew every year for as long as you have an account, and that bill arrives whether you opened Excel that month or not. Microsoft Office Home and Business 2021 for Mac gives you access to a one-time purchase version of the suite, and a lifetime license is currently on sale for $89.97 (reg. $219).
This lifetime license includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and OneNote. Teams and OneNote come along too, at the Basic and free tiers, so think of them as a bonus rather than the main draw. Updates are also included at no extra cost.
Your license installs on one Mac and ties to your Microsoft account rather than to the hardware, so replacing your Mac doesn’t mean you have to buy Office again. Office for Mac supports the three most recent versions of macOS, currently Sonoma, Sequoia, and Tahoe, and needs 4GB of RAM and 10GB of free disk space. Running the suite through Parallels Pro or another virtual machine won’t work here, so this one is for Macs running macOS natively. Your redemption code arrives by email immediately after purchase, and you have 7 days to redeem it. Pay for Office once instead of renewing it every year.
