TL;DR: Get Microsoft Office for life on sale now for $99.97.

You don’t need a Microsoft 365 subscription to get apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint anymore. Microsoft is finally letting users get lifetime access to recent versions of apps that are usually only available through a subscription. Right now, you can get a Microsoft Office Home and Business Lifetime License on sale for $99.97 (reg. $249.99).

Office 2024 Home and Business comes with:

• Word

• Excel

• PowerPoint

• Outlook

• Onenote

You install the apps locally, so you can keep working on documents, spreadsheets, and decks even when you are offline.

Compared with Office 2021, this version focuses on faster performance and smoother workflows. Excel handles large workbooks more efficiently and adds tools like dynamic arrays and AI-driven data insights to make analysis and charting less tedious. Word includes Focus Mode to hide extra toolbars and Smart Compose to suggest text as you type, which can help you draft faster and stay on task.

PowerPoint gets more flexible presentation tools, including the ability to record slides with voice, video, and closed captions, which works well for remote meetings or classes. Across the suite, the Fluent Design interface keeps the look consistent, so switching between apps is less jarring and easier to learn.

Office 2024 also brings updates on the security and accessibility side. Outlook improves search and adds an updated accessibility checker that flags unclear formatting or language, while Excel adds stronger protection around XLL add-ins.
