Microsoft has recently released Office 2024, the latest version of Microsoft Office that is available for a one-time purchase, breaking away from the traditional subscription model of Microsoft 365. This means that users can now access the latest versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint without the need for a recurring subscription fee.
Office 2024 boasts improved performance, updated user interfaces, and enhanced tools for data analysis and image embedding in Excel. In addition, it offers support for new features not available in previous versions such as Office 2021. You can explore all the new features of Office 2024 on the official support page.
Office 2024 without Outlook
For private users and students, Microsoft offers Office Home 2024 as the base version of the suite. Priced at $149.99, this version can be installed on a single Windows PC or Mac computer.
Microsoft Office Home 2024 is now available on Amazon
Microsoft distinguishes between a Microsoft 365 subscription, which includes premium apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, and Access, and Office 2024, which is a one-time purchase. The main difference is that Microsoft 365 offers services like OneDrive storage, Skype minutes, and chat and phone support, along with frequent updates to the apps. In contrast, Office 2024 provides classic apps without any additional services and does not offer upgrade options.
You can purchase Office Home 2024 directly from Microsoft for the same price of $149.99 as on Amazon.
Office 2024 with Outlook
Microsoft also offers Office Home & Business 2024 for $249.99, which includes Outlook in addition to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This version is designed for small businesses and commercial users and can be installed on a single Windows PC or Mac computer.
