You don’t have to pay a subscription to get Microsoft apps anymore
TL;DR: Replace Microsoft 365 with a lifetime license for Microsoft Office Home and Business for only $160.
Most of us rely on tools like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint to get through our workday, but constantly paying for a subscription can feel like more hassle than it’s worth. That’s why Microsoft Office 2024 Home and Business is such a practical upgrade, because it gives you lifetime access to the essential apps you need without the recurring costs. Right now, it’s only $159.97 (reg. $249.99), but that won’t last much longer.
This one-time purchase gives you lifetime access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote, and it works on both Mac and PC. No subscriptions, no pop-ups, no drama.
Everything’s faster and smoother, especially in Excel, where big spreadsheets won’t freeze your screen or make you question your life choices. PowerPoint now lets you record presentations with your voice and video, which is perfect for remote meetings or last-minute class projects. And Word has Smart Compose and Focus Mode to help you stay on task, even when your brain wants to check emails for the third time in five minutes.

If you’re juggling projects with other people, the collaboration features are actually useful. You can co-author documents in real time, leave comments, and track version history without needing to copy-paste things into emails or dig through six versions of the same file. And with built-in Microsoft Teams integration, chatting and sharing files doesn’t feel like a scavenger hunt.
Office 2024 also taps into AI to help you work smarter, not harder. It can suggest better phrasing, recommend charts based on your data, and even help clean up formatting. It’s like having a helpful assistant who doesn’t interrupt or judge your spreadsheet.
Since this is a lifetime license tied to your Microsoft account, not your device, you can install it once and be done. No random fees, no chasing updates, and no worrying if your internet’s out. Just dependable tools that work when you need them. Finally.
Right now, it’s only $159.97 to get a lifetime license for Microsoft Office 2024.
