TL;DR: Save 68% on Microsoft Office for Mac, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and three other apps.
I have a confession: I’ve never had to pay for my own Microsoft Office apps. I used Google Workspace in high school, and my college gave us Microsoft 365. Now that I can’t live without Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on my Mac, they up and canceled my subscription — probably since I graduated.
Those subscription fees are shocking…$69.99 every year? Yeah, I’m not paying that. Instead, I found this Microsoft Office lifetime license that was only a one-time $69.97 payment (reg. $219.99), coming out to less than $12 per app.
I tried to use Apple’s iWork suite — Pages, Numbers, and Keynote (their dupes for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) — but it just wasn’t the same. There’s nothing like Word's familiar, comforting interface when I have to type articles, Excel when I’m checking prices, and PowerPoint when presenting new ideas to my manager.
This Mac Office suite also included OneNote, Outlook, and Teams. I honestly didn’t use these much prior, but I think they may be handy for my day job.
When I tell you I was eager to get these apps on my Mac, it’s an understatement. Before buying, I made sure that my MacBook had at least macOS Monterey, 4GB of RAM, and 10GB of free space.
Within minutes of my purchase, I got an email that contained the download link and software activation key. After about twenty minutes, I opened Word and started writing this article.
