One-Time Purchase Vs. Subscription: Which Is Better

MS Office 2021 launched alongside Windows 11 in October 2021. This is the most delinquent iteration of the 30-year-old Microsoft productivity suite. But if you see the Microsoft website, you'll see that they also suggest Microsoft 365.

You might get surprised, "Why is Microsoft familiarizing two versions of the same product?" So, to crack the code here's the rundown between Microsoft 365 and Office 2021. In addition to the comparison of the features and apps of both versions, we will also see the Microsoft Office 2021 Price and Office 365 price.

Office 2021 is the one-time investment version of Microsoft's office suite. It has two variants: Home & Student 2021 and Home & Business 2021. The Home & Business 2021 license also allows you to use the apps for corporate usefulness.

Microsoft 365, the subscription-based Office suite, arrives in two options: Personal and Family. The initial cash payment for both versions of Office 2021 is remarkably higher than Microsoft 365's offerings.

However, since it's a one-time investment, you only must spend on the app once. On the other hand, the consumer will have to pay a certain amount annually/monthly if you're going for Microsoft 365 or its editions.
