TL;DR: Microsoft Office 2024 Professional Plus is on sale for A$78 right now (normally A$358) — one payment, no subscription.
If you’re still paying for Microsoft 365 every month, here’s the math worth doing. A Microsoft 365 Personal subscription currently runs A$143 a year. Office 2024 Professional Plus is a single A$78 payment, full stop.
You’re past break-even before your first 365 renewal even comes around.
The catch: it’s a perpetual license tied to your device, not your Microsoft account, and it only covers one Windows PC. You won’t get the rolling feature drops or cloud storage bundled into a 365 subscription. What you do get is Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and Access running fully offline — no internet connection required to open a document, no cloud dependency to worry about if your wifi drops.
That trade-off is the point for a lot of people. If you don’t need new features every few months, don’t care about the cloud extras, and just want Office to work without a monthly charge, this is the better deal.
