It's expensive to maintain a Microsoft 365 subscription, but it's frustrating to go without apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The alternative is to opt for something like this Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2019 lifetime license, which comes with many of the same apps minus the subscription fees, and it's on sale for A$51 (reg. A$359).

Capabilities

This software suite comes with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, and Access. You can install each of these apps on one Windows computer one time.

If you're used to the most recent updates, the 2019 versions might look a little older, but they still work well. Basic security updates are included.
