Using your PC for work and play is great, but no matter if you're doing basic tasks or managing a business, sooner or later you will need a productivity suite to write, proofread, make some calculations, or create a presentation. Word, Excel, PowerPoint are industry standards but paying a subscription for Office 365 may not be in your immediate plans.

So how about grabbing Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for just $39.99, which includes all the essentials like Word and Excel, in addition to Outlook, Access, Publisher, and OneNote? That's over 88% off the regular price for a standalone license, and it's available for Windows and macOS, too.

Moreover, there's an even better deal that gets you two Office 2021 Pro licenses for $59.99.

Buying an Office license outright is the perfect alternative to paying recurring fees on a subscription. Granted, Office 365 adds more online features, but if you simply want the best Office apps, this one-time purchase at a hefty discount is a no-brainer.

There are decent free options available like LibreOffice and FreeOffice, but Microsoft's suite remains the most robust, feature-packed, and good looking for the job.

The most recent revisions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint include real-time co-authoring and collaboration from within the apps (an advantage to using browser-based tools), in addition to several new features and a modern UI that offers high DPI support and dark mode.
