Microsoft User Abandons 365 Subscription After Price Hike

A recent Microsoft 365 price hike has prompted one user to reconsider their subscription. The renewal cost jumped from $7/month to $10/month, leaving some wondering if a traditional Office license is still a viable option.

The writer discovered that Microsoft Office Home & Business 2021 for Mac can be purchased outright for $42.97 through August 23. This one-time payment grants access to the same productivity apps as Microsoft 365, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and OneNote.

No annual renewal fees are required with this purchase. The software can be activated using a unique code provided after buying. Once set up, users will have all necessary tools at their fingertips without any recurring costs.
