Microsoft offers a variety of Microsoft 365 plans tailored for businesses, schools, and non-profit organizations. These plans typically include the option to install fully featured desktop apps, but there are also basic plans available that provide online versions of Microsoft 365, along with file storage and email. You have the flexibility to choose the plan that best suits your needs, whether you are a small business, enterprise, school, or non-profit organization.
On the other hand, Office 2021 is offered as a one-time purchase. This means you pay a single upfront cost to obtain the Microsoft 365 apps for a single computer. One-time purchases are available for both PCs and Macs. However, it’s important to note that there are no upgrade options included with the one-time purchase. If you plan to upgrade to the next major release, you will need to purchase it at the full price.
If you prefer a web-based experience, Microsoft 365 for the Web is available as a free version. It allows you to access Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more through a web browser. All you need to do is sign up for a Microsoft account using either a new or existing email address, and you can utilize these applications for free on the web.
