MS Office deal: Get Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more for £20

TL;DR: Get lifetime access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more with a Microsoft Office 2019 license for Windows at £20.10 (reg. £184.36) through 12 January.

Your credit card is exhausted from all of today’s subscription fees. While you probably don’t want to cancel all of your streaming apps, you could spare yourself from at least one unnecessary charge — your Microsoft 365 subscription. Swap your monthly or annual payment for a Microsoft Office lifetime license for your device.

Instead of spending $7 monthly (or $70 yearly), you can pay once and use the apps as much as you’d like. Because your new device license never expires, it will last as long as your device does. To take advantage of this lower price, get this must-have Windows software suite while it’s on sale for just £20.10.

What apps are included?

Microsoft Office 2019 isn’t the newest version available, but it’s the cheaper one for people who don’t need fancy AI features. Besides, these apps all have a classic, timeless design.

Here’s a list of the apps you get:

• Word

• Excel

• PowerPoint

• Outlook

• OneNote

• Publisher

• Access

Differences between Microsoft 365 and a lifetime license

This purchase is a no-brainer if you aren’t taking full advantage of Microsoft 365’s OneDrive storage, mobile app access, and cloud-based backups. Those just wanting the software tools should be more than comfortable with a Microsoft Office download.

You might actually like this license more than the subscription. The apps are downloaded directly onto your PC instead of hosted on the cloud. While this does mean there are no built-in cloud backups, you don’t have to worry about the hassle of trying to work offline.

Plus, now that Microsoft added Copilot’s AI features to Microsoft 365, you might be looking for a way to escape them. Not everyone is crazy about having a virtual robot interfere with their work, and these classic apps won’t ever bug you about it.

The price drop on this Microsoft Office 2019 for Windows ends soon, so get your download for £20.10 (reg. £184.36) through 12 January at 11:59 p.m. PT. No coupon is needed.
