Pricing and plans

Prices exactly as the source publishes them, with that source's own tax label — we never convert tax, currency or billing period. Every figure links to its source and the date we checked it.

Who it fits

A good fit if

  • Companies already used to Word, Excel and Microsoft file formats
  • Teams that need desktop Office apps (from Business Standard)
  • Businesses with up to 300 users

Probably not if

  • Teams that work only in the browser and want the leanest toolset
  • Organisations above 300 users (Enterprise plans)

Strengths and trade-offs

These points follow from the licensing model and how you buy, not from any judgement about product quality.

In your favour

  • Low upfront cost, and you can stop at any time.
  • Each person can install it on several of their own machines.
  • You can buy it yourself right away, with nobody to wait for.
  • There is a free trial before you commit.

Worth weighing up

  • Stop paying and you lose access, including to the data held inside.
  • Every extra person costs more, even occasional users.
  • The list price is the final price; there is nothing to negotiate.

How to buy

  1. 1Open the vendor's site and pick the plan you need.
  2. 2Enter your user or device count and choose a billing period.
  3. 3Pay by card and get access immediately.
