  MICROSOFT 365

  

  By Peter Deegan

  Knowing exactly which version of Office you have is important, but many people forget or don’t know — because it was installed by someone else, it’s been on their system for years, or their record-keeping leaves something to be desired.

  True story: I recently met someone who swore blind they had bought a “Microsoft subscription.” But my quick check of the machine revealed they had Office 2019, the result of having been misled by a computer salesperson.

  First, I’ll talk about the single-purchase, perpetual-license Microsoft Office, from the latest Office 2021 back to Office 2013. Then I’ll tell you how to find the hidden details for Microsoft 365 subscriptions.

  MICROSOFT 365

  

  By Peter Deegan

  Using the tips in this article, you can pay less for new subscriptions and renewals.

  Let’s start with Microsoft’s official, full prices for the two main consumer plans for Microsoft 365. Both have the same features for a different number of separate users.

  In the United States, the Microsoft 365 Personal plan, for one person, has a list price of US$69.99 per year. The Microsoft 365 Family plan, for up to six people, lists for $99.99; each person in the plan gets individual access to all the apps, including 1TB of OneDrive storage. It doesn’t take higher math to see that the Family plan is the best value for more than one person and a great price for a family of four.
