TL;DR: Microsoft Office might be the world’s leading productivity suite, but Ashampoo Office 9 gives you similar productivity tools for $19.99 (reg. 99)!
When you think of productivity suites, you might immediately think of Microsoft Office. All the largest companies, shops, restaurants, and even your landlord use apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, but is it really the best option out there?
We’re not sure if Microsoft offers the absolute best apps, but we do know that they aren’t the most affordable — Office 365 can cost upwards of $69.99 per year (or $6.99 monthly)…and that’s just for one device! You shouldn’t be paying that much just to type up documents or create presentations. If you want the same apps for a fraction of the cost, try Ashampoo Office 9, a Microsoft Office alternative that’s less than $20 for five devices.
Ashampoo Office 9 isn’t an exact dupe for Microsoft Office, but it’s pretty close! You might even think you opened the wrong download since its interface has the same classic ribbon interface Microsoft is known for.
While you won’t get dupes for all of Microsoft’s apps, you’ll get tools for word processing, spreadsheets, and slides, all of which are compatible with Office files and Windows 11.
Use Ashampoo’s word processor to type docs for a client or draft an essay. Just like Word, it also comes with auto-correct and spell check, so your piece looks and reads cleanly!
Writing the next great American novel and want to look at what you wrote previously? You can look at two documents side-by-side and also edit multiple text sections simultaneously by holding down the Ctrl key.
Ashampoo also offers Calculate (think Excel) and Present (think PowerPoint). Calculate comes with the famous Formulas tab and gives Excel a run for its money since it can import and export SQLite databases within your spreadsheets. With Present, you can create slideshows with PowerPoint-compatible slide transitions — just in case the client you’re presenting to is #TeamMicrosoft.
You don’t need to overpay for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Just grab lifetime access to Ashampoo Office 9 for five of your devices for $19.99!
