Office 2024 Without a Subscription vs. the 365 Subscription
Office 2024 as a perpetual licence is a one-time expense. The Microsoft 365 subscription, by contrast, costs money every single year. Over time the subscription adds up, while the perpetual licence incurs no further costs after purchase.
For a single user, the point at which the perpetual licence becomes cheaper is at around two years. Since most users keep Office considerably longer, Office 2024 without a subscription is the more economical choice for them. The subscription is worthwhile above all when several people are covered and the cloud storage is actively used.
