Standalone Microsoft Office 2024 for Mac (no subscriptions) now available

Microsoft has released a new standalone version of Office 2024 for macOS, offering users an alternative to a Microsoft 365 subscription. This one-time purchase provides permanent access to the productivity suite.

The latest version of Office is now available for both Mac and Windows.

Microsoft Office 2024 provides what Microsoft refers to as “locked-in-time versions” of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook.

The “locked-in-time” comment refers to how the standalone won’t have the benefits of consistent feature updates that the Microsoft 365 version receives. However, it can be cheaper in the long term since it’s a single payment instead of a subscription.

Microsoft Office 2024 is available in two variants, with Office Home 2024 at $149.99 including Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and OneNote. Office Home & Business 2024 for $249.99 adds on top Outlook and the rights to use it commercially.

The minimum requirements list support for Intel and Apple Silicon running macOS Ventura or later, with 4GB of memory and at least 10GB of disk space.
