Microsoft Office Home & Business 2024

A one-time purchase of the classic Office applications for a single device, including Outlook. It suits a small business that wants Office on a handful of machines without a subscription commitment, and organisations that only need the applications rather than hosted email and cloud storage.

The trade-off is the absence of feature updates and cloud services. If you also need business email on your own domain, a Microsoft 365 Business subscription usually costs less across three years once mail hosting is priced in separately.
