Appointment 2021 is a bright Editors’ Best champ for appointment suites.
Office 2021 costs $439.99, or $149.99 for students. The 2021 date in the name agency that this is a abiding authorization adaptation that you buy already and use forever—or at atomic until you adjudge to upgrade.
Microsoft additionally offers Appointment as a cable alleged Microsoft 365 (formerly Appointment 365), which requires you to pay for it by the ages or year. Back you buy the abiding authorization version, you get aegis updates every few months, but you don't get the annual blow of new appearance that Microsoft provides to subscribers. You additionally absence out on acceptable OneDrive online accumulator and added extras. If you're a accumulated IT administrator or aloof don't like subscriptions, you'll adopt the perpetual-license version.

If you're already active the 2016 or 2019 version, and you don't absolutely charge these new 2021 improvements, you don’t charge to absorb money on the new version. If you're ambience up a new computer, however, and you don't accept an absolute authorization for Office, again you won't affliction starting with the 2021 edition. If you're beforehand from a antecedent version, accumulate in apperception that Microsoft, clashing abounding added vendors, doesn't action reduced-price upgrades.
