When it comes to productivity software, there's a huge fight right now between Microsoft vs Google to see who can capture the largest share of the market. Of course, if you're already in the Microsoft ecosystem due to work or just being used to it, then you'll want to grab Microsoft Office or Microsoft 365. Both of these are quite expensive, and while there is a free trial of Microsoft Word, you're still going to have to pay a high price to use the whole Microsoft Suite fully. That's why we've gone and collected some of our favorite deals below to save you a little extra cash.
Best Microsoft Office deals
Microsoft Office is a pay once, receive once service. You don't have to pay recurring monthly fees to use it, but the software also never updates. For what it's worth, the Microsoft Office packages are labelled "2021", so they're all fairly recent but also ripe for a good deal. With the exception of AI integrations, not much has really changed in the past couple of years when it comes to your basic document creation and these programs should continue to be effective for years to come. Depending on what package you get, you'll get access to different apps, based on the needs of the target audience. For example, Microsoft Office Home & Student 2021 keeps it lean and cool and with Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint being the only apps included.

Here are our favorite deals for the classic Microsoft Office experience:
