Office 2024: Buy Once, Use Forever
Office 2024 Professional Plus is a one-time purchase that includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, Publisher and OneNote. You own it forever — no monthly fees. It receives security updates but not new features.
Microsoft 365: Always Up to Date
Microsoft 365 Personal is a subscription that gives you always-updated Office apps, 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage, and cross-device access on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. At $39.99/year through DigitalKeys, it's excellent value.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose Office 2024 if you prefer a one-time purchase, don't need cloud storage, and use only one Windows PC. Choose Microsoft 365 if you use multiple devices, want the latest features, and value 1TB OneDrive storage.
