TL;DR: Own Microsoft Office 2024 Home & Business for Mac or PC for $159.97 (reg. $249.99) now until July 20.

If you’ve ever sat on the fence about a new purchase, we see you. But in this case, you might want to hop off of it so you don’t miss this limited-time deal! Check out a lifetime license for Microsoft Office 2024 for your Mac or PC for just $159.97 through July 20. The best part? You’ll only pay for it once — ever.

This isn’t some mystery bundle of off-brand software with names like “Wordish” or “PowerDot.” It’s the real deal — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote — all classic desktop apps. After you purchase it here and install it on your PC or Mac, it’s yours forever. No subscription, no monthly fee, no mysterious charges appearing six months later with a vague description like “Productivity Solution Tier 2”.

Functionally, it does everything you expect — and then some. Word is still the gold standard for documents, now with more refined tools for layout, spelling, but of course not without the passive-aggressive red squiggle that lives to ruin your day. Excel handles big data better than ever (though it still can’t explain where all your money went). PowerPoint is smoother, with upgraded design suggestions and recording tools for when your boss demands a “quick” presentation that takes four hours. And of course, Outlook continues to organize your inbox and calendars.

Compatibility-wise, as long as you have macOS Monterey or later, or Windows 10 or 11, you’re good. You can’t transfer the license to another machine later, so choose wisely. Or emotionally. Up to you.

Don’t pass up this deal on a lifetime license for Microsoft Office 2024 Home & Business for Mac or PC for $159.97 (reg. $249.99) ending July 20 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
