Baffled by the Microsoft 365 price hike? Here’s how to get around it

Who else is frustrated by every single subscription service raising their fees? Because Microsoft 365 just joined the club after holding out for 12 years. We’re outraged, canceling our subscription and getting a Microsoft Office lifetime license instead.

That means we don’t have to pay $10 every month anymore (which turns into $120 yearly)—just $120 once to keep Office apps on our Macs for life. And we encourage you to do the same.

Here’s what’s included

Microsoft Office 2024 is the newest lifetime license available, and the Home version includes every essential app. Microsoft says it’s increasing the 365 subscription cost to add AI features, but this lifetime version also has them. Enjoy writing assistance in Word, chart generation in Excel, design suggestions in PowerPoint, and more.

Download Microsoft Office for Mac (or PC) while it’s still on sale for $120 until February 2 at 11:59 p.m. PT (reg. $149.99). No coupon is needed to get this discount.
