I stopped paying for Microsoft 365 and bought Office 2024 for $105 instead

TL;DR: If you’re over paying monthly for Office apps, Microsoft Office 2024 Home & Business is a one-time $104.97 through June 14.

There are two universal truths: the cost of living will go up, and so will subscription fees. Between streaming apps, cloud storage, and delivery memberships, I was tapped out. So when I saw this deal on Microsoft Office 2024 Home and Business for a one-time payment of only $104.97 (reg. $249.99), I grabbed it.

And honestly? This is one of the few tech purchases I didn’t immediately second-guess.

Microsoft Office 2024 Home & Business

This version of Office comes with a lifetime license, which means no monthly charges and no “your subscription has expired” pop-ups when you’re racing to finish a document for your manager on the train.

Here’s what you get:

• Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote — all the heavy hitters, fully loaded.
• Designed for both Mac and PC, so you’re covered no matter which machine you’re running in your shoebox apartment.
• Works offline — so you’re not doomed when the Wi-Fi drops in a crowded café.

The upgrades in this 2024 release are no joke either. I noticed faster loading times, a cleaner layout, and new features in PowerPoint like video recording and live camera tools—which came in clutch for a recent pitch deck I had to throw together.

Also, having Outlook back on my desktop (without paying monthly) is a blessing. Managing emails on a real app instead of bouncing between browser tabs is wildly underrated. It’s safe to say that I don’t dread answering emails quite as much as I used to.

If you’re the type who prefers to buy once and not think about it again, this is a solid move. You’re getting premium tools without being locked into Microsoft’s subscription hamster wheel.

Don’t wait too long to act on this offer.

Grab your own Microsoft Office 2024 Home and Business lifetime license for your Mac or PC for just $104.97 (reg. $249.99) through June 14.
