TL;DR: Get Microsoft Office Home & Business for Mac 2021 for $42.97 (reg. $219) and own Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and OneNote with a lifetime license.

Between streaming services and different phone apps, you’re probably paying for too many recurring subscriptions as is. Those monthly charges sure have a way of piling up! If you’d rather make one purchase and move on, Microsoft Office Home & Business for Mac 2021 is available for $42.97 (reg. $219) through July 17 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

Unlike Microsoft 365, this version doesn’t require an ongoing subscription. A single purchase installs the software on one compatible Mac, giving you lifetime access to the classic desktop versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams (Basic), and OneNote.

For many users, those are the apps that utilized most. Whether you’re writing up documents in Word, organizing budgets and data in Excel, forming presentations in PowerPoint, or managing email through Outlook, the suite covers the everyday tasks students, families, freelancers, and small business owners rely on.

Since the applications run locally on your Mac, you won’t lose access if you decide not to keep paying a subscription. Microsoft also includes updates for the 2021 version, and the software supports the three most recent versions of macOS, including Sonoma, Sequoia, and Tahoe.

Be sure to note that this license is for one Mac only, and it isn’t compatible with virtual machine environments such as Parallels Pro. You’ll also need to redeem your code within seven days of purchase. This deal is intended for those who just want the familiar Office applications without another monthly bill.

If Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook are already part of your everyday work routine, this lifetime license could end up paying for itself relatively quickly. You can pick up Microsoft Office Home & Business for Mac 2021 for $42.97 (reg. $219) through July 17 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
